German authorities arrested two Sudanese nationals on Tuesday who were protesting against the Sudan economic forum in front of the German Federal Foreign Office in Berlin.<\/p>\n

Ibrahim Omar, told Radio Dabanga the dozens of demonstrators blocked the road to the Office to prevent the Sudanese delegation from attending the economic forum.  <\/p>\n

Omar said \u201call Sudanese in Berlin joined the protest against the conference and against Khartoum\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Sudanese regime, he continued, is \u201cguilty of committing genocide and crimes against humanity in Darfur, Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile\u201d.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Radio Dabanga reported that international human rights organizations and Hawa Mohamed Saleh, a Sudanese activist, were calling on the German government to cancel the forum.<\/p>\n

Saleh said Khartoum must be isolated and that Germany should not hold a Sudan conference in its territory. She noted the human rights record of that country should prevent it from belonging to the international community and from having international support.<\/p>\n
