Sudan Embassy Closed
"Sudan's U.S. embassy in Washington, D.C. closed Monday, according to its official Web site and a notice posted outside the embassy's door.
A sign reading, "Notice from the Embassy: This is to inform that the Embassy will be closed starting from Monday, August 23, 2004 until further notice" was posted in Arabic and English on the embassy's front door....
Since June 29, 2004, activists from the Sudan Campaign have protested the crisis in Sudan every day from noon to 1:00 p.m.
People of all ages, backgrounds and professions marched in front of the Sudanese embassy braving the D.C. summer heat...
They probably feel that they can end the demonstration by closing," Madison said. "We won't stop."
"It's not our goal to shut down the embassy. The goal is to shut down what's going on inside Sudan."
