Warden Message—Demonstrations Planned for Khartoum, Sudan
January 22, 2007
Local organizations have announced plans for a “peaceful silent protest march” on Tuesday, 23 January, in solidarity with Sudanese citizens detained in U.S. Government facilities at Guantanamo, Cuba. The march likely will take place near the University of Khartoum. The U.S. Embassy advises American citizens to exercise prudence and avoid crowds or large gatherings.
All Americans living or traveling in Sudan are encouraged to register with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate through the State Department’s travel registration website, http://travelregistration.state.gov, to obtain updated information on travel and security within Sudan. Americans without Internet access may register directly with the United States Embassy in Khartoum. By registering, American citizens make it easier for the Embassy to contact them in case of emergency. The U.S. Embassy is located at Sharia Ali Abdul Latif, Khartoum; tel. (249-183) 774-701/2/3 (outside Sudan); tel. (0183) 774-701/2/3 inside Sudan. Americans may call between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday. For after-hours emergencies, please call 249-183-774-705 and leave a message for the Consular Duty Officer.
