JOIN THE TRANSAFRICA FORUM & AFRICA ACTION in PROTEST
SUDAN EMBASSY
2210 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE NW
WASHINGTON , DC 20008
TransAfrica Forum President Bill Fletcher and Africa Action Executive Director Salih Booker are going to be arrested on the steps of the Embassy as a way to voice their opposition to the ongoing genocide in Darfur.
Over a million people have been displaced, 30,000 people killed and young girls and women have been raped and brutalized.
USAID predicts that even if the killings stopped today, over 350,000 Sudanese will die in the next months from disease and starvation.
The current administration has stopped short of classifying these atrocities as genocide to avoid having to comply with the doctrine of the Geneva Convention which mandates that the international community intervene.
