Abstract
- The actor George Clooney, his father, Nick Clooney, and Representative James P. Moran of Virginia were among more than a dozen protesters arrested Friday outside the Sudanese Embassy in Washington. The arrests were confirmed by a spokeswoman for the congressman and a spokesman for the Secret Service, which made the arrests. The protesters were demonstrating to bring attention to accusations that Sudan's president, Omar Hassan al-Bashir, is using military force to block food and humanitarian aid intended for civilians in Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile in a mountainous region on the country's shared border with South Sudan. South Sudan split from northern Sudan in July. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
