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.

SUBJECT: NO JAIL TIME FOR HUSSEIN AIDEED: SAFELY IN DUBAI 
 
 
On November 20, a report appeared on the Somali website 
www.markacadeey.com, claiming that Eritrean officials had 
arrested exiled Member of Parliament, and U.S. Citizen, 
Hussein Mohammad Farah Aideed.  The report alleged that the 
Eritreans had arrested Aideed because he was spying for the 
United States and for Ethiopia.  Skeptical of the report 
because Aideed was known to have departed Eritrea prior to 
Eid al Fitr, Poloff asked Jama Ali Jama and Mohammad Sheikh, 
two exiled Somali Members of Parliament present in Asmara, 
whether they could confirm Aideed's whereabouts.  Both 
dismissed the claim and assured Poloff that Aideed has been 
residing in Dubai since leaving Eritrea the first week of 
October.
