Viewing cable 07BANJUL275, THE GAMBIA: ADDITIONAL SANCTIONS ON SUDAN

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.

SUBJECT: THE GAMBIA: ADDITIONAL SANCTIONS ON SUDAN 
 
REF: STATE 73696 
 
(SBU) Ambassador made reftel demarche to Foreign Affairs 
Permanent Secretary, Bai Ousman Secka, informing him of the 
new U.S. sanctions imposed on Sudan, involving three 
individuals and 31 Sudanese government-owned or controlled 
companies, due to the lack of progress on Darfur. 
Ambassador stressed that we were confident that sanctions 
would bolster, not hinder, the international community's 
efforts to achieve progress in Darfur.  He  added that, if 
the GOS remained intransigent, we would be prepared to take 
more robust action, including increasingly stronger 
sanctions. Secka took note of Ambassador's presentation, but 
made no substantive comment.
