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 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: GODBOLD CASE: RED CROSS REPORTS LIKELY RELEASE 
 
REF: NDJAMENA 849 
 
1. (SBU) International Red Cross Deputy Director Nikolai 
Panke contacted Charge D'Affaires on November 5 to inform her 
that he had spoken with MDJT splinter group leader Choa Dazi 
by phone.  Dazi told him that Amcit Cash Steven Godbold would 
be released in the next couple of days. Dazi called Godbold a 
"guest" (rather than a hostage.)  Panke said that Dazi had 
asked for Red Cross assistance in facilitating the transfer 
and expressed concern about the security of his men. Neither 
the location (nor the country) was specified.  Panke will be 
in touch with Government of Chad (GOC) authorities and with 
Godbold's colleagues in N'Djamena to organize the handover. 
 
2. (U) Tripoli minimize considered.
