Viewing cable 09MASERU105, LESOTHO: POSITIVE ABOUT OBAMA, NO CONCERNS ABOUT POLICY

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 29482 
 
Poloff delivered the points in reftel to the Director of the 
Europe and Americas desk at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and 
International Relations.  Currently, the GOL has no comment 
about the Afghanistan-Pakistan strategic review.  When asked if 
there has been any reaction to Obama's speeches and other policy 
changes such as Guantanamo, she said that there has not been 
much discussion about his policies.  She did mention the 
positive feelings that the GOL has about Obama's election, but 
nothing specific to policy changes.  As with other demarches 
delivered concurrently, she mentioned that she would consult 
with her colleagues and get back to us if there is anything 
further.
