Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:

  • 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.

2. (SBU) Italy has identified 500,000 euros to support the 
Ethiopian multi-role logistics unit in Darfur, according to 
MFA East Africa Office Director Giuseppe Pastorelli. 
Pastorelli contacted poloff May 20 with a final response to 
our April 24 demarche (refs A and B) requesting support for 
the Ethiopian unit to the United Nations-African Union 
Mission in Darfur (UNAMID).  Pastorelli said the MFA had 
decided to use resources allocated to the Italian Africa 
Peace Facility, a mechanism that Italy funds and directs 
jointly with the African Union (AU).  He hoped that the funds 
could be dispersed within a few weeks, once coordination with 
the AU was complete.  Pastorelli asked poloff to stress to 
the Department that the decision to commit these funds to 
UNAMID was made primarily due to the U.S. request.
