Viewing cable 08PORTLOUIS443, MAURITIUS LIKELY TO BACK USG POSITION ON SOMALIA

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.

Discussing cables

On December 16, First Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 
Regional Integration and International Trade Martine Young Kim Fat 
called Poloff to say that Mauritius will most likely support the 
U.S. position on Somalia as it was conveyed in the previous demarche 
(reftels).  Young Kim Fat added that this position seems to align 
well with the current African Union position that a security vacuum 
in Somalia is unacceptable.
