Central Massachusetts residents went to the Sudanese Embassy in Washington, DC, this Thursday, for a 24-hour fast and day-long vigil to call attention to the ongoing genocide in the Sudanese region of Darfur.
The participants were Al Guilmette, Ken Hannaford-Ricardi, David Maher, and Scott Schaeffer-Duffy. All four men have participated in previous Darfur-related vigils, and have been arrested for civil disobedience at the Embassy. Scott visited Darfur with a Catholic Worker Peace Team in December 2004.
