Viewing cable 08THEHAGUE596, NETHERLANDS/HORN OF AFRICA: FIVE MILLION EUROS IN

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.

Discussing cables

Emboffs delivered reftel points to Dutch MFA contacts Alle Dorhout, 
head of West Africa and Horn of Africa Affairs, and Peter Flik, head of 
Humanitarian Aid Division.  The Netherlands supports increased 
humanitarian aid in the Horn of Africa.  Dutch Development Minister 
Bert Koenders pledged an additional five million Euros on June 27 for 
Ethiopia, considered a "Development Partner" along with Kenya.  Two 
million Euros will go directly to malnourished children through UNICEF. 
 This is on top of the 4.05 million Euros the Netherlands has already 
guaranteed for Emergency Program Funding to Ethiopia.  The Dutch also 
sent a letter to the Ethiopian government asking for unrestricted acces 
for all aid organizations.  Aid to Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somali 
is 9.7% of the 202.5 million Euros the Netherlands dedicates to 
Emergency Program Funding world wide.
