Viewing cable 09AMMAN766, JORDAN DEMARCHED ON SUPPORT FOR AMISOM AND SOMALIA

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.

SUBJECT: JORDAN DEMARCHED ON SUPPORT FOR AMISOM AND SOMALIA 
SECURITY SECTOR REFORM 
 
REF: STATE 027288 
 
1. (SBU) Poloff delivered reftel demarche to Mohammad 
Tarawneh, acting Deputy Director for International 
Organization Affairs at the Foreign Ministry on March 25. 
Poloff requested the Government of Jordan (GOJ) consider 
offering support to AMISOM and Somalia security sector reform 
efforts.  Tarawneh responded that the GOJ would consider the 
request and respond in principle to the Embassy as soon as 
possible. 
 
2. (SBU) Comment:  Post will follow up with the Foreign 
Ministry for a substantive response.  That said, based on 
recent coordination of regional deployments and equipment 
transfers, financial support to AMISOM and Somalia security 
sector reform is unlikely.  It is possible that the GOJ would 
consider transferring equipment if outside funding were 
provided or secured by the USG.  Post believes that, based on 
past GOJ peacekeeping contributions, the GOJ might also 
consider participating in a UN peacekeeping mission should 
one be deployed in the future.
