LL: Figure this: 1. In late September SecState Albright announces that senior diplomatic personnel would return to Sudan. Within 72 hours that announcement is countermanded (apparently the work of Susan Rice the new Asst Secy of State for Africa and Clinton insider). On October 28 it is reported that U.S. Ambassador to the UN will provide $130,000 to facilitate the peace talks in Nairobi. Peace talks begin and on 4 November Clinton levies sanctions on Sudan. Curious happenings! My own feeling is that something big set off a chain reaction, and I don't think it was the U.S. Congress threats to move to impose sanctions. (The gum arabic business is humbug.) Sudan now joins Iran, Burma and Cuba on the hit list, and something tells me the US reaction has something to do with Iran-Sudan relationship. 2. If one reads the Executive Order signed by Clinton on 4 Nov very closely it would appear that United States citizens and Arakis factotums James B. Taylor and David Hunter are between a rock...etc. Hunter seems in an especially difficult position as his lead role with Arakis in pipeline construction in Sudan would appear to be specifically prohibited. 3. Bottom fishers stay alert. It is possible that our time will soon be at hand.
