SUBJECT: SE WILLIAMSON MEETING WITH DAVID GRESSLY, UNMIS REGIONAL 
COORDINATOR, SOUTHERN SUDAN 
 
------- 
SUMMARY 
------- 
 
1. (SBU) On August 9, Special Envoy Williamson met with David 
Gressly, UNMIS Regional Coordinator for Southern Sudan, to discuss 
the situation in Abyei and the ICC indictment.  During the meeting 
in Khartoum, Gressly cited recent successes in the political 
situation throughout Sudan. However, he expressed concern about 
continuing border tensions and the possible impact of an ICC arrest 
warrant against President Bashir. 
 
---------------------- 
SOME PROGRESS IN ABYEI 
---------------------- 
 
2. (SBU) Gressly noted there had been modest progress in Abyei, 
including the redeployment of troops on both sides. To date, a small 
SAF force remains in Difra, he said, and a residual SPLA military 
police force lingers in Agok. Joint integrated units (JIUs) are in 
place in Abyei town.  They  plan to deploy north to Difra and south 
to Agok following the complete withdrawal of SAF and SPLA forces. 
The GOS mobilized joint integrated police units (JIPUs); 
nevertheless, Gressly reported that the JIPUs continue to suffer 
from "logistical constraints", including lack of food. The 
government has appointed an interim administration for Abyei.  The 
SPLM Administrator (Arop Mayak Toj) is the current 
Disarmament-Demobilization-Reintegration (DDR) Commissioner for the 
South, while his deputy is Rahama Al-Nur of the NCP.  According to 
Gressly, unfortunately Arop is not known for being a strong 
administrator. 
 
3. (SBU) Regarding returnees, Gressly predicted that current rainy 
season and its flooding could push people back into Abyei town 
because the town sits on a plateau.  Gressly stated that people will 
return despite the lack of services (schools, health clinics, etc.) 
currently available in Abyei. He added that  security concerns for 
relief agencies working in the area may be "overplayed," and that 
donors need to encourage implementing partners to return to Abyei. 
According to Gressly's assessment, effective deployment of JIPUs 
will be key to avoiding future conflict and UNMIS should provide 
protection to facilitate voluntary returns (more than the JIUs). 
 
4. (SBU) Gressly informed the SE that the UNMIS "post Abyei flare 
up" investigation was beginning.  He said UNMIS needed to have a 
better understanding of its mandate to protect civilians, and to 
determine if organizational capacity will allow UNMIS to meet this 
mandate.  The SE noted that the current UNMIS deployments have 
insufficient forces positioned in the most potentially explosive 
areas.  Gressly confirmed that UNMIS has adjusted to the needs with 
a force increase of 200.  He also stated that there needs to be a 
recognition of events leading to the recent conflict so that earlier 
intervention is possible in the future. 
 
5. (SBU) Gressly expressed concern that there are still several 
crisis points where conflict would erupt along the North/South 
border in Southern Kordofan and even Darfur.  Forces along the 
border in Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile State need to be reduced 
to peace-time levels in accordance with the CPA.  Although the SPLA 
will never fully withdraw as long as SAF forces are in the area, 
there needs to be some push on DDR efforts to bring the SPLA into 
compliance.  Since many of the SPLA troops on the border are from 
that area, the best solution is not to move them away from the 
border, but to demobilize them - however the SPLA resists this. 
They need reintegration assistance in developing livelihood skills 
or returning to farming. 
 
------------------------------------ 
ICC INDICTMENT- "GOOD BEHAVIOR TIME" 
------------------------------------ 
 
6. (SBU) Addressing the July 14 decision by the ICC to pursue an 
indictment against President Bashir, Gressly postulated that the ICC 
indictment has actually created a window of opportunity between ICC 
Chief Prosecutor Moreno-Ocampo's announcement of his request for an 
arrest warrant against President Bashir and either the issuance of 
the   warrant or passage of an Article 16 resolution by the Security 
Council.  He referred to this period as "good behavior time." 
According to Gressly, UNMIS operations have eased since the arrest 
warrant request.  He  highlighted movement on the Abyei roadmap, 
including the withdrawal of the 31st division and agreement on the 
interim administration, as evidence that the GOS is attempting to 
demonstrate more cooperation. Gressly opined that the international 
community should look for ways to extend that window of opportunity 
 
KHARTOUM 00001209  002 OF 002 
 
 
to extract further steps by the NCP towards solving Sudan's 
problems.  Additionally, he warned that if it becomes clear that 
there will be no Article 16 resolution to postpone the ICC's case, 
the situation in Darfur may become very difficult, and the GOS may 
mobilize the local Darfuri population that supports Bashir.  The 
reaction would likely be less severe in the South where supply lines 
from East Africa still exist, and the lines could extend all the way 
into Darfur.
