Yesterday was Thanksgiving. I missed being in Pittsburgh. But we carried on the traditions here in Khartoum. Had 20
fellow Embassy folks, Americans from all over the US. We all wanted
to be somewhere else, with family and friends, but here we were. I
said a few words of thanks, for all the loved ones and people back
home who give us the reason for being here to serve and for each
other. I hugged everyone who came. We all had good food and a good
time. Tradition carrying on.
US State Department cables from places I have served plus items from my time as a UN peacekeeper. To increase public awareness of how diplomacy and peacekeeping are (were) actually done. All cables cleared by USG FOIA procedure. Cables are mostly those sent under my name from my posts but also others in which I was directly involved. UN documents and other items will also include occasional notes and background. Most recent in series on top with cables under the new series of UN documents.
