Subject: Re: Re:
In this email sequence from September 2011, Sultan Bin Sulayem (Chairman of DP World) informs Jeffrey Epstein that he is meeting with the President of Djibouti (Ismail Omar Guelleh).
This email is a foundational piece of evidence for Epstein's early influence in Djibouti. It confirms that Sultan Bin Sulayem acted as the primary conduit between Epstein and the Djiboutian head of state.
The meeting occurred around the same time Epstein began claiming to his associates that he "owned Djibouti." It also places Sultan in the role of a high-level lobbyist or fixer for Epstein, facilitating access to state leadership in exchange for or in coordination with business interests (likely related to DP World's significant port concessions in Djibouti).
