LED by some of the world's most famous drummers, thousands of activists will gather Saturday (9 Jan) in 15 countries and call for urgent steps to prevent a return to widespread conflict in Sudan.
Sudan365, a year of campaigning for Sudan, has been organised by a coalition of groups including Amnesty International, the Enough Project at the Center for American Progress, Human Rights Watch, Save Darfur Coalition, FIDH, Refugees International, Darfur Consortium and Arab Coalition for Darfur.
The global effort comes with one year remaining until a referendum that will decide the future of Sudan and marks the five year anniversary of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement that ended the civil war between Northern and Southern Sudan and called for this referendum.
With many highly contentious issues still to be resolved and amidst increasing inter-ethnic violence in the South and continued attacks on civilians in Darfur, there is a real risk of a return to conflict that could destabilise the entire region and place civilians in grave danger.
Sudan365 is being supported by some of the world's most famous drummers - including Phil Selway, Radiohead; Stewart Copeland, The Police; Nick Mason, Pink Floyd; Jonny Quinn, Snow Patrol; Caroline Corr; Richard Jupp, Elbow; Middle Eastern star Mohammed Mounir and Mustapha Tettey Addy who has been drumming since the 1970s. The celebrity drummers are coming together to create a 'beat for peace' in Sudan. A film of this global beat for peace, featuring drummers from five continents, will be released to coincide with the launch of the campaign. On saturday activists will also drum along at events worldwide to call on governments to take action to prevent worsening violence and ensure civilians are protected.
