Quote: Security Message for U.S. Citizens: Demonstrations May 2, 2013 United States Embassy Khartoum, Sudan The U.S. Embassy alerts U.S. citizens to the possibility of demonstrations in greater Khartoum this weekend, May 3- May 4th. U.S. citizens in Sudan are strongly encouraged to avoid the neighborhoods of Umm-Dawm and the surrounding areas of North Khartoum including Bahri, Um Dawn Ban, Jerif Shariq, Al-elafon and Suba Shariq, especially Friday afternoon. The demonstrations are not known to be anti-western in nature; however, even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can at times turn confrontational and escalate into violence. You should avoid areas of demonstrations, and exercise caution if in the vicinity of any large gatherings, protests, or demonstrations. We strongly recommend that U.S. citizens traveling to or residing in Sudan enroll in the Department of State’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) at www.Travel.State.Gov. STEP enrollment gives you the latest security updates, and makes it easier for the U.S. embassy or nearest U.S. consulate to contact you in an emergency. If you don’t have Internet access, enroll directly with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. Regularly monitor the State Department's website, where you can find current Travel Warnings, including the Travel Warning for Sudan, Travel Alerts, and the Worldwide Caution. Read the Country Specific Information for Sudan. For additional information, refer to “A Safe Trip Abroad” on the State Department’s website.
