The Rescue Nubia and Resist Kajbar Dam Committee - US Chapter organized a peaceful rally in front of the White House on September 8, 2007 between 1.00 pm - 3.00 pm at the Lafayette Park to protest the June 13, 2007 Massacre at the proposed dam site of Kajbar and to alert the US Government, United Nations and the International Community to the dangers of building dams in Nubia. The rally aimed at calling the attention to the dangers of flooding Nubian lands by proposed dams at Kajbar, Dal, Akasha and Tumbus following the signing of the Four Freedoms Agreement between Sudan and Egypt in year 2004 which allows relocation of millions of Egyptian farmers in the Sudanese Nubian lands, beside the secret sell out of the Nubian lands along the River Nile to wealthy Arabs and other investors.
The committee invited all Nubians, members of the Sudanese Marginalized Forces Forum for Peace and Development, all Sudanese political parties and civil societies, the African American organizations, human rights organizations, advocacy groups, community associations, religeous societies, and other organizations to join the rally and extend their support to the Nubians in their struggle to survive and preserve their historical and archaeological wealth from destruction.
