Pro-democracy demonstrators plan to protest outside the US Embassy in Ezulwini Sept. 24. The activists will gather at 9:00 to continue calls for democratic reforms.

Large crowds and associated security measures could prompt localized movement disruptions, including access restrictions to the embassy. Security forces may move to disperse protesters, especially if the latter become unruly; clashes are possible.
