15 September 2012, the government of Sudan is telling U.S. President Barack Obama to back off on his plan to send Marines.
Obama says the USMC is needed to boost security around the U.S. embassy.
Thousands of Sudanese are protesting the anti-Islam movie made by a right wing U.S. christian con artist. Both the U.K. and German embassies had been attacked. The German embassy was set on fire. Police drove back the protestors, killing five protestors who were attempting to climb the walls of the U.S. embassy.
Sudan has barricaded the U.S. embassy and claims there is no need to send in U.S. forces. Also, such a move could destabilize Sudan.
