CPA IN ADDIS 
 
 
Classified By: e.o. 12958, 1.4 (b) & (d) 
 
 ¶1. This is an action request, please see paras. 6-9. 
Responses are appreciated by Tuesday, November 27 at the 
latest. 
 
¶2.    (SBU) The United States is deeply concerned that the 
deadlock between the ruling-National Congress Party (NCP) and 
the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) over thorny 
Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) implementation issues 
could lead the parties back to war.  The SPLM temporarily 
suspended its participation in the Khartoum-based Government 
of National Unity on October 11.  During his recent visit to 
the U.S., First Vice President Salva Kiir sought U.S. 
assistance in fostering international pressure to help the 
parties put CPA implementation back on track.  The United 
States is committed to leading international efforts to spur 
forward the CPA, which is inextricably linked to any 
successful end to the conflict in Darfur. 
 
¶3.    (SBU) Secretary Rice will convene a Sudan Ministerial 
with regional partners focused on CPA implementation during 
her visit to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on December 5.  The 
objective of the Ministerial is to elevate discussion of the 
CPA and reenergize the leadership of regional actors on CPA 
implementation.  Other Sudan issues, including Darfur, will 
not be explicitly addressed. 
 
¶4.    (U) Sudan Ministerial Invitees:  Secretary Rice would 
like to invite Foreign Ministers from Djibouti, Ethiopia, 
Kenya, and Uganda to participate; Chairman Konare and/or Amb. 
Djinnit from the African Union; and new UNSRSG to Sudan 
Ashraf Qazi.  An invitation will also be provided to the 
National Congress Party (NCP) and SPLM to send a 
representative each as parties to the CPA.  As this meeting 
is for regional partners, the United States will not/not 
invite international (i.e. Western) partners to the meeting. 
 
¶5.    (SBU) Proposed Sudan Ministerial Agenda (tentative)(75 
minutes): 
 
oIntroduction and Welcome By the Secretary (5 Min.) 
 
oReport on CPA Implementation by Kenya (in their role as 
co-Chair of the Assessment and Evaluation Commission (AEC)) 
(10 Min.) 
 
oPresentations by the NCP and SPLM (5 minutes each) 
 
oDiscussion (55 Min.); 
 
"Abyei 
"Census and National Elections 
"Troop Redeployment 
"North/South Boundary 
"Assessment and Evaluation Commission (AEC) 
 
¶6.    (U) ACTION KHARTOUM:  Drawing from the background 
above, Post is  instructed to invite representatives of the 
parties to the CPA, including President Bashir and/or Vice 
President Taha, and First Vice President Kiir.  Post should 
also invite UNSRSG Qazi. 
 
¶7.    (U) ACTION NAIROBI:  Drawing from the background above 
and previous discussions with Moi (septel), Post is 
instructed to invite the Kenyan Foreign Minister to 
participate.  In addition, Post should request that the FM, 
or appropriate designate (perhaps former President Moi or 
IGAD mediator Sumbeiyo), prepare a short-brief on CPA 
implementation, and present in Kenya's capacity as co-chair 
of the Assessment and Evaluation Commission (AEC).  Kenya may 
want to draw on the recently completed AEC Factual Report on 
the Status of CPA Implementation. 
 
¶8. (U) ACTION USUN:  Post is requested to engage with 
appropriate UN counterparts to brief them on plans for this 
meeting and to advise them that Embassy Khartoum is directly 
inviting UNSRSG for Sudan Qazi. 
 
¶9.    (U)ACTION ADDIS, DJIBOUTI, AND KAMPALA: Drawing from 
the points above, Posts are instructed to invite their host 
countries Foreign Ministers to discuss regional involvement 
in CPA implementation. 
 
¶10.   ACTION USAU: Post is instructed to invite Chairman 
Konare and/or Ambassador Djinnit to the Secretary-hosted 
Sudan Ministerial to discuss AU and regional involvement in 
CPA implementation. 
 
 
¶11.  Point of contact on the Sudan Ministerial in AF/SPG is 
Pamela Fierst (202-647-4317).
