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:  VICE PRESIDENT MACHAR SAYS UGANDA AGREES TO 
GoSS MEDIATION WITH LRA 
 
 
1.  (SBU) United Nations High Commission for Refugees 
(UNHCR) Operations Manager for South Sudan Bhairaja 
Panday told CG on May 16 that he had received a telephone 
call from GoSS Vice President Riek Machar informing him 
that the Government of Uganda (GOU) had declared itself 
open to a role for the Government of Southern Sudan 
(GoSS) in mediating between Kampala and the Lord's 
Resistance Army (LRA).  Panday said that an ebullient 
Machar informed him GoSS President Salva Kiir brought 
back this message from President Museveni after Kiir 
delivered the message from the LRA leadership that they 
were ready to talk.  Due to the September 16 GoSS holiday 
in honor of the founding of the SPLM, we have been unable 
to corroborate this message with other sources in the 
GoSS. 
 
2.  (SBU) Panday added that Machar said that the LRA had 
agreed to halt all attacks against targets in Sudan.  He 
noted that this would permit UNHCR to resume the 
operations in Yei that stopped following an attack on 
UNHCR premises there in which two UNHCR staff members 
were killed.
