Now to spread a rumour that 1 of the 5 commanders is a double agent and let BO screw themselves. That was a common tactic against the CT's in Malaysia.

It was also used, very effectively I was told, by Israel against the PLO, and it worked as long as Arafat was alive; he was, I heard, very paranoid and, of course, the Israelis were getting good, solid inside information from someone ... their operational success proved that. One imagines that the PLO command/senior staff meetings were often a bit tense and internal information exchange, which can be crucial to success, was impeded by suspicion.

Looks like this may have been a decision made at an administrative level rather than at the diplomatic level. Not a great way to win friends and influence people. Could be a sound reason for the decision but if so being at such a high level it should have been handled through our diplomatic corps with kid gloves.

The chief of defence staff was among those who were prevented from travelling to an official event.

From a Nigerian publication.
thenationonlineng.net
There were indications yesterday that the Canadian Embassy denied the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa and top military brass visa due to a diplomatic error.
The affected officers applied for Canadian visas without Note Verbale (Diplomatic note) from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
But the Federal Government has stepped into the matter and was trying to salvage the situation last night.
A top source, who spoke in confidence with our correspondent, said: “There was a diplomatic error on the part of desk officers who handled the CDS and others’ visa applications.
“There was no Note Verbale from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs contrary to existing protocol for any trip by high-ranking government officials.
“Since, those going for the trip are top military chiefs.
“At this level, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ought to attach a Note Verbale indicating that the trip was genuine without security implications.”
Responding to a question, the source added: “The Federal Government is discussing with Canadian Embassy officials to salvage the situation.
“All I can tell you is that there is no diplomatic issue with Canada. We are only trying to get a few things right.”
I'm sure that Gen. Musa is a prince of a guy.

I was wondering what official veterans event the Nigerian CDS could be attending in Canada and then
. . . Invictus Games.
