1982年5月のこのケニアの会談の翌月、ロンドンのイスラエル大使がアブニダル派のテロリストに襲撃され、待ってましたとばかりにシャロンはレバノンに侵攻する。
1982年、アメリカはコントラ支援禁止を議会で決めていよいよアメリカの活動がアングラ化し、黒さを増すわけだが、上の写真はまさにその当時のひとコマである。下に三者の武器提供をめぐる流れがうかがえるLAタイムズの非常に興味深い記事も転載しておく。
また、スーダンには石油があることも指摘しておきたい。1981年にシェブロンが油田を発見する。1982年にパイプライン計画が動き出すのだが、SPLAが暴れ出す。シェブロン社員の誘拐事件なども起きて、結局ニメイリは、1984年にカショギに石油をめぐる全権を委譲した翌年、ついに失脚することになる。

Michael Harari, the Israeli gun-runner who helped supply John Garang's Sudanese People's Liberation Army in a covert operation involving Roger Winter of the U.S. Committee on Refugees and Dan Eiffe of Norwegian Peoples Aid, is currently wanted for arrest by the government of Norway.
Michael Harari, now 71, and a legend in the Israeli Mossad, makes the ideal fixer, with his multiple connections to the underworld of illegal diamond, drugs and commodity trading.

JERUSALEM - Former Israeli Defense Minister Ariel Sharon was involved
in an ill-starred 1982 plot to overthrow Iran's Ayatollah Ruhollah
Khomeini that also involved several people who would emerge three years
later as key figures in the Iran-Contra arms-for-hostages affair,
according to a book scheduled to be published next week.
The previously secret plan had the approval of the late CIA Director
William J. Casey, according to the book, which was written by Samuel
Segev, a former military intelligence officer.
Segev is favored by Foreign Minister Shimon Peres for the post of
consul-general in Los Angeles, but whether he is actually nominated
depends on the outcome of next week's elections in Israel.
Segev says in the book that Sharon was to supply $800 million in arms
and military instruction to the plotters. But the coup never came off
because the controversial Sharon was forced out of the Defense Ministry
by an Israeli commission of inquiry that found him indirectly
responsible for the September, 1982 massacre of Palestinians in
Beirut's Sabra and Chatilla refugee camps.
Segev's book, "The Iranian Triangle: The Untold Story of Israel's Role
in the Iran-Contra Affair," is to be published in the United States
next week by The Free Press, a division of Macmillan Inc. A
Hebrew-language version is scheduled to appear a few days later.
Segev said in an interview that the book is based on private
discussions with participants whom he is not free to name. The book
says the plot grew out of a British Broadcasting Corp. radio interview
in February, 1982, with Yaakov Nimrodi, a former Israeli military
attache in Tehran who had become a private arms dealer. Nimrodi, it
says, openly advocated that Khomeini be overthrown and that Western
interests help train the forces to do it.
Call From Shah's Son
The book then lays out the following account of what it says developed:
Based on the Nimrodi radio interview, Reza Pahlavi, son of the deposed
Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi of Iran, telephoned Nimrodi and invited him
to Rabat, Morocco, where the family was then living in exile. When
Nimrodi and fellow Israeli businessman Adolph Schwimmer arrived in
Rabat in the summer of 1982, they were greeted at the airport by Gen.
Said Razvani, then deputy chief of staff of the Iranian army, and a
representative of the Moroccan secret service. In the course of three
days o f discussions with these officials and the Shah's son, the coup
plan was born.
Nimrodi and Schwimmer later confided in another acquaintance, Saudi
Arabian businessman Adnan Khashoggi, who used his connections with the
royal family to secure assurances of Saudi financial backing, Segev's
book continues. Khashoggi also met secretly at his farm near Nairobi
with Sharon, who made an unscheduled stop there during an official trip
to Zaire.
By late September, 1982, shortly after the massacre at Sabra and
Chatilla, Razvani and another Iranian general--Segev said he was unable
to identify this officer by name--visited Sharon in Israel with a
written request to buy $2-billion worth of arms, equipment and
instruction. The weapons were to be transferred to Sudan, where
President Jaafar Numeiri had agreed, in exchange for $100 million, to
provide a training and supply base for the operation.
According to the narrative, Sharon had doubts about the coup's chances
of succeeding but was anxious to sell some of the tons of weaponry
captured by Israeli troops in Lebanon as a way to help offset the cost
of the war. Assured that the plot had Casey's approval, he agreed to
provide $800 million worth of arms.
After Sharon was deposed, his successor, Moshe Arens, the former
ambassador to Washington, was cool to the idea, as was Yitzhak Shamir,
the Likud Bloc leader who became prime minister when Menachem Begin
resigned in 1983. Neither man "thought Israel should be involved in a
new adventure," Segev says.
Nimrodi, Schwimmer and Khashoggi emerged in 1985 as brokers in the
ill-fated attempt to trade U.S. and Israeli arms for American hostages
held by pro-Iranian Muslim fundamentalists in Lebanon.
Iranian Officials Named
Segev's book names two Iranian officials as the key intermediaries in
arms-for-hostages contacts with Israeli and U.S. officials. It says
that Mohsen Kengarlu, a deputy prime minister, was the key Iranian
government contact of Manucher Ghorbanifar, the expatriate Iranian
businessman who helped broker the deal, and also the man who organized
the secret 1986 trip to Tehran by former National Security Adviser
Robert C. McFarlane.
The book includes what it says is the text of a letter delivered to
McFarlane by Israeli officials in the summer of 1985 and cites this as
evidence that they were in touch with Iranians who could deliver. The
purported letter, marked "Top Secret--Destroy After Reading," is signed
"H. K." According to Segev, the initials are those of the Ayatollah
Hassan Karoubi, a senior Iranian cleric close to Khomeini and the
brother of the deputy Speaker of the Iranian Parliament.
Segev, 62, said his purpose in writing the book "is to give the
rationale for (Israeli) involvement in Iran even after Khomeini."
