Friday incidents cancel EU visit to Darfur

 The European Union Commission in Sudan has cancelled a visit to its ambassadors to Darfur, following Friday’s demonstrations in front of many foreign embassies to protest the anti-Islam film, a source at the EU in Khartoum told AFP.

The source said on condition of anonymity that "it was decided at the moment to cancel the visit of the EU ambassadors which was scheduled Thursday and Friday because of the demonstrations that broke out last Friday and the storming of the German embassy in Khartoum."

"We have information about other demonstrations that would be organized next Friday in Khartoum in front of a number of embassies, so the EU ambassadors will not be traveling to Darfur." He added

The visit was supposed to take place next Thursday and Friday to assess the situation in the region, which has been witnessing unrest since 2003 and patrolled by the largest peacekeeping mission in the world, and the EU contributes to in its financing.
