SUBJECT: DAKAR: EMERGENCY ACTION COMMITTEE (EAC) MEETING

1. (U) The DCM convened the EAC on September 13, 2006,
to review mission security posture due to an increase in
violence in the Casamance area and petty theft in Dakar.
The EAC deemed the current security posture appropriate
in Dakar. In light of recent banditry and rebel activity
in the Casamance, the EAC recommended limiting
nonessential travel north of Ziguinchor in the Ziguinchor
region.

2. (SBU) The EAC agreed that a warden message pertaining
to these topics should be issued. Additionally, RSO will
issue a Security Notice underlining the need for
increased vigilance while in Dakar.

3. (U) Dakar's EAC will continue to monitor the local
situation, maintain liaison with host-government police
and security officials, and reconvene as appropriate.
