* From my journal for April 7: Met
with the foreign minister and tried to find a way forward vis-à-vis
the Chad talks. Maybe found one. Accepted his offer to have someone
from the Embassy travel with him to Darfur. Meanwhile, the talks in
Kenya maybe/maybe not have a breakthrough. Went to dinner on the
Nile despite the heat. The warm breeze carried the smell of animal
waste. Some kind of bug was out flying around the lights. But it
actually wasn’t that bad. And sometimes a slightly cool, fresh
breeze came along (helped by huge fans going at a respectful
distance). Took the opportunity to try a waterpipe. Not bad. The
slightly past full moon rose in the east over the Nile.
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.
