1. In response to reftel, Embassy Khartoum regrets to advise that
proposed October 5-10 travel to El Geneina in reftel is not
permissible due to security conditions.

2. Embassy Khartoum notes that the September 30 end of the mandate
of the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS), the ongoing military
engagement in North Darfur State, decreasing humanitarian access,
and concerns about Chad-Sudan border crossings by third country
nationals render proposed travel inadvisable.
