Summary

In this email, Jeffrey Epstein mentions a Djiboutian associate to Sultan Bin Sulayem:

"our djibouti friend was a lot of fun, he canceled the girls he had coming, im not sure why?"

Strategic Significance

  1. Social Entrenchment: This email shows that Djiboutian associates were not just business contacts but were integrated into Epstein's social world, including his "procurement" activities.
  2. Timing: Dated September 3, 2011, this precedes the high-level meeting with the President of Djibouti (Sept 24, 2011) by three weeks. It indicates that the groundwork for the Djiboutian relationship was being laid through social/sexual leverage.
  3. The Identity of the "Friend": While unnamed, the context suggests an individual with high level access to Djiboutian power, likely a family member or top aide to President Guelleh.
