WHEN: Wednesday, August 25th, 2004, 12:00pm (Noon)

WHERE: The Embassy of Sudan, 2210 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20008

As the UN Security Council deadline approaches (8/30), and as reports continue of atrocities being perpetrated in western Sudan, Africa Action and TransAfrica Forum will hold a protest at the Sudan Embassy to express outrage at the ongoing genocide in Darfur.

What is referred to as the humanitarian crisis in Darfur continues to grow, because it forms a key element of the genocidal campaign of the Sudanese government. But despite incontrovertible evidence of genocidal intent and actions on the part of the Khartoum government, the U.S. and the United Nations remain unwilling to confront this crisis and intervene to stop the violence. Their weak efforts at diplomacy allow the Khartoum government to continue to pursue genocide in Darfur with impunity, and without fear of sanction or intervention.

This protest targets the Sudanese government as the author of this genocide. It is the latest in a series of actions initiated by Africa Action, calling for an end to the genocide in Darfur.

Join us on August 25th to show the Sudanese government that we will not let them get away with mass murder!

Please join the global movement in support of 1.2 million of the Fur people who are literally staying now in the harsh desert of Darfur and Chad. A hunger strike will start tomorrow in more than 20 countries across the globe to highlight the tragedy in Darfur.



Please click on this link www.darfurgenocide.org/webcast.htm to register and become able to connect directly with the real voice of the people and listen to their stories…Via this online tool you can even engage in a direct dialogue with the people in the camps…



Please consider donating your lunch money ($5?) to any of the organizations you trust or those currently work directly with people in Darfur (check the orgs here: http://www.interaction.org/sudan/index.html or http://www.usaid.gov/locations/sub-saharan_africa/sudan/ngolist.html



Remember every dollar makes a difference: $30 (6 lunches) will help digging a pit latrine (there is a need for 3,000 ones to prevent the strong fear of Cholera outbreak on the Chadian borders); $2.5 will buy a trowel to be used by one family as part of ‘defecation set’.. there is a current need of 350,000 trowels.


Thanks for your noble solidarity…

Sudan embassy shut
The Embassy of Sudan, the site of daily protests over the massacres in the Darfur region of the African nation, closed yesterday for an indefinite period.
The closure comes as a vast coalition of demonstrators is planning nationwide protests for tomorrow. Actor Danny Glover, the latest celebrity to join the movement, is expected at the noon demonstration outside the embassy at 2210 Massachusetts Ave. NW.
The embassy Web site (www.sudanembassy.org) issued this brief announcement: "This is to inform that the embassy will be closed starting from Monday, Aug. 23, 2004, until further notice."
However, the demonstrators say they are not concerned whether the embassy is open or closed. The building is symbolic of the government that Congress last month condemned for "genocide" against black African farmers in Darfur by Arab militias initially armed by the government to fight rebels.
"We have demonstrated every day since June 29, and we will continue to demonstrate whether they are inside [the embassy] or not. They never answered the door, anyway," said protest leader and radio talk-show host Joe Madison, who is in his sixth week of a hunger strike to draw attention to the crisis in Darfur.
"What we want them to shut down is not the embassy. We want them to shut down the genocide. We want them to shut down the refugee camps. We want them to shut down the atrocities that are taking place."
Mr. Madison said the Washington-based Sudan Campaign wants President Bush to heed the congressional resolution and declare Sudan guilty of genocide.
The militias, called the Janjaweed, are blamed for killing 50,000 people and displacing 1 million. The U.N. Security Council on July 30 gave the Sudanese government 30 days to stop the bloodshed.
Meanwhile, another group, the Save Darfur Coalition, is urging communities throughout North America to stage demonstrations tomorrow.
Calling the protest a "Day of Conscience," the coalition said it wants to "raise public awareness about the horrific situation in Darfur and to demand that the international community take immediate and decisive action to stop the killing, the rape and the destruction of villages and to assure that humanitarian relief reaches all those in need."
In Washington, Mr. Glover intends to add his name to a long list of elected leaders and average citizens who have been arrested on embassy grounds for unlawful assembly, a charge that carries a $50 fine.
Mr. Madison said the list includes an 82-year-old grandmother and a 75-year-old woman who got arrested last week on her birthday.
Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders and several members of Congress also have been arrested.
Mr. Madison, who continues to host his show on WOL-AM from 6 to 10 p.m. on weekdays, has consumed only chicken broth on his hunger strike.
Leaders of the think tanks TransAfrica Forum and Africa Action also plan to be arrested tomorrow
