Classified By: Political Counselor Andrew Schofer; reasons 1.4 (b) and 
(d). 
 
¶1. (S) Summary: Director of East African Affairs (and acting 
DAS) Eunice Reddick met June 14 with Wepke Kingma, the 
Director of the Dutch MFA's Africa Department.  Also present 
on the Dutch side were Ambassador at Large for the Great 
Lakes Region, Fred Radke, and Head of East and Southern 
Africa Division, Wouter Plomp.  Kingma underscored the change 
in Dutch position on assisting the Uganda Peoples' Defense 
Force, saying the GONL is now prepared to assist the UDPF in 
eliminating the Lords Resistance Army.  Kingma and Plomp also 
stressed strong Dutch interest in providing personnel to 
staff vacancies in our Africa Contingency Operations Training 
Assistance (ACOTA) peacekeeper training programs and in 
learning more from us about military-to-military HIV/AIDS 
programs in Africa.  End summary. 
 
¶2. (S) The Dutch recently informed us that they have resolved 
their questions about LRA's human rights history and are 
willing to provide security assistance in eliminating the 
LRA.  They expressed interest in knowing more about 
assistance we have provided to date, including intelligence 
sharing.  Kingma repeated this to acting DAS Reddick June 14. 
 To date, the Dutch have not provided concrete proposals for 
the sort of assistance they might be willing to provide, 
other than vague references to "security assistance."  Based 
on conversations with AF/E, we suggested they contact the 
UPDF and begin discussions.  Comment: Further consultations 
between State, DOD, and the Dutch DATT in Washington might 
now be appropriate.  End comment. 
 
¶3. (C) Kingma may accompany Radke on a visit to Washington on 
or around June 28.  They hope to meet with AF Assistant 
Secretary Fraser and others.  Among topics they wish to cover 
 
SIPDIS 
is a Dutch proposal to raise the Northern Uganda Core Group 
to a more senior level.  While not committing to the 
proposal, Reddick encouraged the Dutch to visit for further 
discussions on the range of Northern Uganda issues. 
 
¶4. (C) The Dutch were extremely interested in hearing about 
the range of USAID assistance programs in northern Uganda and 
the possibility of further, rapid expansion.  They agree that 
the relative calm right now makes possible increased programs 
directed at a resolution of Acholi grievances and enhancement 
of development initiatives.  They still do not see a 
commitment by the Government of Uganda to resolving the long 
term issues. 
 
¶5. (U) The Dutch and we have worked closely over the past 
several months to identify positions in our ACOTA programs 
the Dutch might be able to fill.  We have an excellent window 
of opportunity - Dutch MFA and military support for ACOTA 
participation is strong now, and we should make an offer as 
soon as possible.  Washington offices in State (AF/RSA) and 
the Pentagon have identified Ghana as the most likely 
possibility. 
 
¶6. (U) The Dutch Ministries of Health and Foreign Affairs 
have both expressed strong interest in military-to-military 
HIV/AIDS programs in Africa.  They understand the importance 
of HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention to any security 
assistance program in Africa and are working on enhancing 
awareness in the Dutch Ministry of Defense.  To this end, 
five DOD HIV/AIDS specialists will arrive in The Hague June 
18 for two days of consultations on US military programs in 
Africa.
