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.

Sensitive but unclassified, not for Internet distribution. 
 
(SBU) Responding to reftel demarche, MFA Cabinet Advisor for 
African Affairs Ahmed Abu Zeid told us on May 27 that Egypt 
was unlikely to consider temporarily moving some of its 
engineers from UNMIS to UNAMID to speed absorption of 
additional troops into UNAMID.  Abu Zeid said that because of 
"technical" differences in the composition of Egypt's UNMIS 
and UNAMID engineering units, Egypt's UNMIS component would 
suffer and its UNAMID component would not substantially 
benefit from such a transfer.  We will follow up with the MOD 
to get more specifics on the technical difficulties that such 
a redeployment would entail.
