Front View - The former embassy was located on Ali Abdel Latif Street, a semi-open public street near the downtown area of Khartoum and the University of Khartoum. While vehicular traffic had been restricted and controlled at both ends of the street by a local guard force, pedestrians could move freely to access commercial and retail establishments adjacent to and across the street from the Chancery. The leased building lacked many of the building systems of modern Class A office space, had few of the now standard security freatures and did not meet the functional needs of 21st century diplomacy.
