SUBJECT: SUDAN AUGUST 9 SUMMIT IN DAKAR CANCELED 
 
REF: LIBREVILLE 00519 
 
Classified By: Ambassador Janice L. Jacobs for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d). 
 
(C) Senegal's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that 
the planned Sudan summit (reftel and previous) has been 
indefinitely postponed.  Upon his return from Ndjamena, 
President Abdoulaye Wade stressed that he had tried to 
convince Sudanese President Omar El-Bashir that the latter 
should agree to re-hatting the African Union Mission in Sudan 
(AMIS) force.  El-Bashir reportedly replied that he cannot 
accept a UN peacekeeping operation because the United States 
(and other members of the UN Security Council) has sanctions 
in place against Sudan.  Wade said he reiterated an offer 
that he first made in Khartoum on August 4 to attempt to 
mediate between the U.S. and Sudan.
