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.

REF: STATE 16168 
 
(SBU)  MFA DAS-equivalent for East and Central Africa Helene 
Le Gal said that she and her colleagues would study U.S. 
proposals for reforming the International Contact Group on 
Somalia.  We noted that reftel downplayed the differences 
between formal members of the Group and "observers" (which 
include France), suggesting that the views and participation 
of countries in both categories could be accommodated.  Le 
Gal said she would provide feedback once she was able to 
consider the matter further.
