Wolff, for reasons 1.4 b/d<br />• Summary<br />1. Luis Moreno-Ocampo argues that the ill-gotten gains of the Sudanese president need to be exposed to destroy his reputation among his countrymen. Key passage highlighted in yellow. <br />1. (C) International Criminal Court Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo told Ambassadors Rice and Wolff on March 20 that Sudanese President Bashir needed to be isolated. Ocampo suggested if Bashir's stash of money were disclosed (he put the figure at possibly $9 billion), it would change Sudanese public opinion from him being a "crusader" to that of a thief. Ocampo reported Lloyd's Bank in London might be holding or knowledgeable of the whereabouts of his money. Ocampo suggested simply exposing that Bashir had illegal accounts would be enough to turn the Sudanese against him, "as with Pinochet."<br />2. (C) Ocampo said Bashir invents conflict to create a better negotiating position, and thought Bashir was using the expulsion of the NGOs to divert attention away from his arrest warrant. Ocampo suggested the U.S. and the international community also needed to push for Bashir's arrest to isolate him. Ocampo likened Bashir's situation to "a bleeding shark being surrounded by other sharks," with no loyalty, only greed, motivating those competing for power. By promoting the possibility of Bashir's arrest, Bashir would be further marginalized within Sudan's ruling elite, Ocampo thought.<br />3. (C) Ocampo suggested it would be beneficial to reassure China that its access to oil would not be jeopardized. If China believed Bashir was becoming a destabilizing influence, Ocampo said China might be more open to his removal as long as his replacement would guarantee support for China's economic interests.<br /><br /><br />http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/us-embassy-cables-documents/198641<br /><br />Pity Marc Lynch doest read the Guardian.brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17796306949045047712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12265028.post-45556854337556197852012-03-16T09:58:39.942-07:002012-03-16T09:58:39.942-07:00LEGAL EAGLES is competent in successfully handling...LEGAL EAGLES is competent in successfully handling all legal matters.
