    SUBJECT: SUDAN: CONTACT GROUP WELCOMES SE GRATION'S
    APPROACH AT MAY 29 MEETING IN LONDON

    REF: STATE 55655

    ¶1. (SBU) Summary.  Sudan Contact Group delegations welcomed
    Special Envoy to Sudan Scott Gration's approach to supporting
    the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) and the Darfur peace
    process at a May 29 meeting in London.  Assessment and
    Evaluation Commission (AEC) Chair Sir Derek Plumbly told
    Contact Group members there needs to be a renewed focus on
    South-South problems and the more difficult points of CPA
    implementation, as the census results, Abyei arbitration
    decision, elections, and referendum approach.  On Darfur, the
    Contact Group applaud the USG's efforts in helping "turn the
    corner" on the humanitarian situation and acknowledged the
    work of Joint Mediator Bassole and the Qataris on the peace
    process.  The Chadian Government's recent victory over the
    Chadian rebels demonstrated the Government's advantage over
    the rebels, but more needs to be done to improve relations
    between Chad and Sudan.  Full list of Contact Group attendees
    in para 8.  End summary.

    AEC and Its Work
    ----------------

    ¶2. (SBU) Welcoming greater USG engagement as "a breath of
    fresh air," Assessment and Evaluation Commission (AEC) Chair
    Sir Derek Plumbly told Contact Group members there needs to
    be a renewed focus on South-South problems.  He said his
    objectives are ensuring no return to conflict, proper conduct
    of the referendum and elections, and peace with or without
    the South's succession.  He described the CPA's most
    immediate challenges: getting both parties to accept the
    census results; preparing for the elections; unblocking
    delimitation and demarcation of the border; managing the
    potential fall out from the Permanent Court of Arbitration's
    (PCA) ruling on Abyei; building trust and communication
    between the parties; and, resolving issues related to passage
    of the referendum law.  Discussing the larger role of the
    AEC, Plumbly said the AEC will continue to monitor the
    situation on the ground and will feed into the international
    community's larger discussions on CPA implementation.  He
    said the AEC was complimentary to the work of the Contact
    Group and others, and the AEC welcomed a broader
    international community discussion about the AEC's support to
    CPA implementation at the June 23 CPA Forum (reftel A).

    ¶3. (SBU) EU Special Representative Torben Brylle, Dutch head
    of delegation Koen Davidse, and Norwegian head of delegation
    Hans Jacob Frydenlund all noted the seriousness of the
    financial crisis in the South, the importance of helping the
    parties break the deadlock on important legislative issues
    like the referendum law, the positive role the international
    community could play in ensuring a "soft landing" after the
    PCA's Abyei ruling, and the AEC's useful contributions in
    support of CPA implementation.  Plumbly reiterated the
    importance of the international community as "an animating
    force" on difficult CPA issues and recalled the CPA's
    "critically short timeline" for implementation.

    Update on Darfur
    ----------------

    ¶4. (SBU) On the Darfur peace process, Davidse noted Joint
    Mediator Bassole's work in conjunction with the Qataris as
    moving the Doha talks in the right direction.  He said the
    international community needed to examine more closely how to
    integrate incentives and pressure into the process.
    Applauding the USG's role in breaking the stalemate, Davidse
    said "the humanitarian situation had turned the corner."
    While there are still concerns about longer term health and
    protection issues, the situation is more or less manageable.
    On UNAMID, he called for renewed non-African engagement with
    the peacekeeping force, as it is "also a UN force, not just
    an AU one."  SE Gration noted that it was important to engage
    international NGOs in the international community's
    strategies and to continue reaching out to them as important
    players in Darfur.  The Dutch and Canadian delegations agreed
    to discuss with OCHA the possibility of a follow-up briefing
    in New York.

    ¶5. (SBU) SE Gration noted that the second round of talks in
    Doha was going to be difficult, and it is still unclear if
    they will succeed.  It may be necessary to open another venue
    for talks, one more suitable to Fur leaders, and then blend
    the two efforts together.   Gration indicated that all
    previous agreements should remain, as they provide a good
    framework for discussions.

    Chad-Sudan Relations
    --------------------

    LONDON 00001318  002 OF 003

    ¶6. (SBU) French head of delegation Thierry Caboche said the
    recent Chadian rebels' offensive against the Chadian
    Government had demonstrated that the Government had the clear
    advantage over the rebels and that Chad was no longer
    reluctant to pursue rebels into Sudanese territory.  He
    indicated that the rebels are still poised to conduct another
    attack against the Chadian Government, which irritates
    Chadian President Deby, who has made it clear that military
    options remain on the table for dealing with the rebels.
    Reviewing Chad's political situation more generally, Caboche
    said it appears Chad and Sudan will not have direct clashes.
    Libya has suggested deployment of border monitors, and Qatar
    has offered to support this effort, which Chad appears to
    accept.  On internal Chadian politics, the political process
    from the August 12, 2007 accord with the non-armed opposition
    appears to be going well, with elections on track for 2010.
    With the armed opposition, the situation is less clear, and
    Libya has recently offered to mediate.  Caboche said France's
    messages to the Chadian Government remain the same:
    supporting restraint and non-provocative actions; helping
    democratization efforts and implementation of the agreements
    reached; and, encouraging Deby to engage with Sudan.

    ICC
    ---

    ¶7. (SBU) Referencing Sudanese President Bashir's ICC
    indictment, UK Special Representative Michael O'Neill noted
    that justice issues do provide a complication, but are a
    symptom not a cause of the conflict.  He noted that former
    South African President Thabo Mbeki's work under the auspices
    of the AU appear to be a "serious effort" and may be worth
    engaging at some point.  Davidse noted that an Article 16
    resolution is a postponement not an absolution.
