Viewing cable 08KHARTOUM69, UNAMID OFFICIAL SAYS GOS NEITHER HELPING NOR HARMING

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #08KHARTOUM69.

DEPLOYMENT 
 
REFTEL: KHARTOUM 41 
 
1. (SBU) SUMMARY. In a January 15 conversation with FieldOff, United 
Nations-African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) Chief of Integrated 
Support Services (CISS) did not paint a picture of outright 
Government of Sudan (GoS) obstructionism to UNAMID deployment. 
Instead, the CISS reported that the GoS was neither helping nor 
hindering UNAMID's progress.  Recent conversations in Khartoum with 
government officials also reflect this mixed assessment (see 
comment). The CISS was not optimistic that the Chinese and 
Bangladeshi units of the Heavy Support Package would deploy by 
January 20 as predicted, although the Fragmentation Order for their 
deployment is expected within the next 24 hours.  Blame for slow 
deployment seems equally divided between the GOS and UNAMID elements 
themselves. END SUMMARY. 
 
SOFA 
---- 
2. (SBU) The CISS reported no real movement on the UNAMID Status of 
Forces Agreement (SOFA) with the GoS.  He did note, however, that 
the GoS refused to renew visas for some UN staff during the past 
week.  The GoS allegedly argued that these staff, working for UNMIS 
on behalf of UNAMID, should have submitted their renewal requests on 
UNAMID vice UNMIS letterhead. 
 
NIGHT FLIGHTS 
------------- 
3. (SBU) While the CISS confirmed that the GoS was nominally 
allowing UNAMID to fly at night, particularly in the case of medical 
evacuations, the GoS is requiring a signed paper indemnifying 
against liabilities in the case of flying without lights.  The CISS 
said UNAMID would engage the Sudanese Civil Aviation Association on 
this issue, which he predicted would be resolved by a UNAMID-funded 
upgrade of the lighting systems at Darfur airports. 
 
LAND ISSUES 
----------- 
4. (SBU) The CISS reported no real movement on the issue of UNAMID 
land procurement from the GoS in Darfur.  He was optimistic, as he 
has expressed in the past, that an agreement on West Darfur land 
would be reached and that it would not become a matter of money.  He 
noted that flights were re-starting east to west between El Geneina, 
Kulbus and Tine after having been halted due to West Darfur 
insecurity caused by rebel groups, and bombing by both Chadian and 
Sudanese aircraft, a resumption that could facilitate finalization 
of the land question in El Geneina. 
 
HSP UPDATE 
---------- 
5. (SBU) The CISS was not optimistic that the Chinese and 
Bangladeshi units of the HSP, bolstered by a Nigerian battalion, 
would deploy to the "Green Field" to begin construction of the super 
camp by January 20.  This view contradicts a statement by the UNAMID 
Chief of Staff (COS) in the January 16 UNAMID Morning Brief that the 
Fragmentation Order for this deployment would be issued within the 
next 24 hours.  The CISS noted that the Chinese had engineered a new 
set of conditions to delay deployment. The latest, according to the 
CISS, is that the Chinese cannot move their containers due to lack 
of access roads.  Correcting this problem will require UNAMID to 
bring in commercial contractors.  [NOTE: To be fair, the UNAMID COS 
also identified this issue as a credible obstacle in the January 16 
briefing. END NOTE].  The CISS predicted, however, that once PAE's 
contract extension expires on January 23, the Chinese and 
Bangladeshi units would be without food and would be forced to move 
from the PAE camp where they have been accommodated since their 
arrival. 
 
6. (SBU) The CISS and the COS confirmed that an Egyptian infantry 
battalion would be the next TCC arrival in Darfur.  The CISS 
stressed that it is incumbent upon UN Headquarters in New York to 
ensure that the battalion arrives in country fully equipped, to 
avoid another China-Bangladesh scenario. 
 
7. (SBU) Comment: Recent conversations with government officials in 
Khartoum also indicate a push-pull approach by the GoS regarding 
UNAMID deployment. State Minister al-Samani al-Wasila, in 
conversations with PDAS Linda Thomas-Greenfield (reftel), denied 
that the government was obstructing the SOFA, saying that UNAMID had 
yet to present new terms for the agreement. Regarding land, 
al-Samani said that the GoS had offered several plots of land in El 
Geneina to UNAMID, but all had been rejected. While the government - 
whether through its typically slow bureaucracy or through 
politically-inspired machinations - certainly puts obstacles in 
UNAMID's path, the truth, as usual, probably lies somewhere in the 
middle. UNAMID seems quite capable of "going slow" on its own
