(b) and (d). 
 
(C) Senegal's Ministry of Freign Affairs has confirmed 
that the planned Sudn summit (reftel and previous) has 
been indefiniely postponed.  Upon his return from 
Ndjamena, Pesident Abdoulaye Wade stressed that he had 
triedto convince Sudanese President Omar El-Bashir that 
the latter should agree to re-hatting the African Union 
Mission in Sudan (AMIS) force.  Wade said Senegal is 
prepared to increase its AMIS contribution from 622 to 
1,000 soldiers and gendarmes.  El-Bashir reportedly replied 
that he cannot accept a UN peacekeeping operation because 
the United States has sanctions in place against Sudan. 
Wade also reiterated an offer that he first made in 
Khartoum on August 4 to attempt to mediate between the U.S. 
and Sudan.
