    SUBJECT: WHY DID MOROCCO SEND DADIS CAMARA TO BURKINA FASO?

    RABAT 00000022 001.2 OF 002

    Classified By: DCM Robert P. Jackson for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d).

    ¶1. (C) Summary: Following the Secretary,s conversation with
    Minister of Foreign Affairs Taieb Fassi Fihri, the Embassy
    was surprised to learn January 12 of the Government of
    Morocco,s (GOM,s) abrupt decision to discharge Guinean
    junta leader Dadis Camara from the Mohammed V Military
    Hospital in Rabat and send him by medical plane to
    Ouagadougou. A January 11 telephone conversation between
    King Mohammed VI and Burkinabe President Blaise Compaore,
    Security Council consideration of the report on the September
    28 massacre in Conakry, and pressure from Dadis, supporters
    to repatriate him appear to have motivated the GOM,s action.
    Believing that President Campaore may have torpedoed French,
    Moroccan and U.S. efforts to find an African country that
    would accept Dadis for resettlement, King Mohammed VI
    intended to place responsibility for continued mediation of
    the Guinea conflict squarely in Campaore,s court. The GOM
    supported U.S. requests to keep Dadis Camara from using
    contracted civilian air arranged by his supporters for return
    to Conakry, and transported him via Moroccan &medical8
    airlift to Burkina Faso without telling him that he would not
    be returning to Conakry. Finally, the GOM pledged continued
    support for U.S. and French requests to establish a new
    residence for Dadis Camara to keep him out of Guinea and for
    Guinea,s transition. End Summary.

    ¶2. (C) Embassy Rabat learned the afternoon of January 12
    that the GOM intended to facilitate the departure of Dadis
    Camara for Burkina Faso by the end of the day. According to
    Ambassador Nasser Bourita, Chief of Staff of the Moroccan
    Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Dadis Camara was
    aware of events in Guinea, had been well enough to travel for
    at least three weeks, and his return had been formally
    requested by the Guinean Ministry of Foreign Affairs through
    the Moroccan Ambassador to Guinea. Bourita stated that King
    Mohammed VI, who reportedly spoke with Burkina Faso President
    Blaise Compaore on January 11, wanted Compaore to assume
    responsibility as mediator of the Guinean conflict vice
    remaining angry that he had not been party to the Rabat
    Declaration of January 5. It was the king,s further desire
    that Dadis Camara not be in Morocco when the UN Security
    Council considered the contents of the United Nations report
    on the September massacres in Guinea. Bourita asked for U.S.
    support to keep the travel secret from the Government of
    Burkina Faso, which he stated was not advised until shortly
    before Dadis' arrival of the GOM,s intent to deliver Dadis
    Camara to Ouagadougou that day.

    ¶3. (C) Embassy Rabat demarched the Ministry of Foreign
    Affairs late January 12, requesting the GOM not permit Dadis
    Camara to utilize a rented airplane arranged by his
    supporters in Guinea for return to Guinea. The GOM honored
    that request and Dadis Camara departed Rabat for Ouagadougou
    between 1845 and 1900 GMT aboard a Moroccan &medical plane8
    in the company of two Moroccan doctors (one an
    anesthesiologist), a Moroccan nurse, a Lebanese doctor, and a
    Guinean cardiologist. Dadis reportedly thought he was going
    to Conakry and was &calm8 although the previous day, he had
    reportedly told Fassi Fihri that he wanted to return to
    Conakry to &cut off hands and heads.8 Camara landed in
    Ouagadougou before 21:45 GMT on January 12.

    ¶4. (C) The GOM expressed its intent to reach out to the
    Government of Saudi Arabia in support of the U.S. and French
    demarches urging Saudi Arabia to accept Dadis Camara for
    residency, just as King Mohammed VI had reached out to
    Gabonese President Ali Bongo, who declined to host Dadis.
    The GOM also reached out to General Sekouba Konate on both
    January 12 and 13 to reassure him that Morocco remained

    RABAT 00000022 002.2 OF 002

    supportive of his efforts to lead a transition. The GOM reportedly also urged President Campaore to host Dadis Camara  for more than five days -- as Campaore had reportedly stated  the night Dadis arrived.

    ¶5. (C) Comment: The timing of the king,s decision was  surprising, if not entirely unexpected. While not in accord with the spirit of the January 5 declaration, the GOM had  always said that it needed a legal basis to keep Dadis and  did not want him in Morocco when the Security Council  considered the report on the massacre. The GOM remains  hopeful that Dadis Camara will not return to Guinea.
    Morocco,s willingness to work with the U.S. and France to  prevent Dadis from taking contracted air back to Guinea,  bought some time. Moreover, Morocco remains interested in  participating in the international contact group meeting in  Addis Ababa in late January. End Comment.

    ¶6. (U) Conakry and Tripoli minimize considered.
