Viewing cable 08KIGALI864, RWANDA ON MAURITANIA AND AFRICAN UNION

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 132307 
 
(SBU)  Pol/Econ Chief delivered reftel demarche to Ministry 
of Foreign Affairs Africa Director Augustin Rutikara on 
December 22.  Rutikara signaled Rwanda's continued support 
for the firm AU approach toward the military junta in 
Mauritania, saying that "no recognition" was the proper 
approach, and that hasty elections would benefit only the 
military leaders.  Sanctions were worth considering, he said, 
as the international community sought to pressure the 
military regime.
