From my journal of March 2:
"Had
a pleasant and productive lunch with the Foreign Minister at his Blue
Nile-side residence. With British ambassador and Dutch charge.
Lasted three hours. We refined the formula for the meeting in Chad.
When I got back, learned that USAID is still doing some free-lancing,
except since they are in charge, they think it's me doing the
free-lancing. But we appear to be on track. In the end, may have to
bow out and let them take the seats and – they think – the glory.
The way we do foreign policy has degraded mightily in the years I
have been in the business."
