Beat for Peace

Sudan is back creeping up the news agenda with national elections this April, and in January 2011 a referendum in Southern Sudan on independence (aka breakaway).

All potential for violence and a return to civil war. Unfortunately!

Therefor drummers from Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Snow Patrol and the Police have taken part in a film and project called "Beat for Peace" to try to prevent bloodshed in Sudan.

The "Beat for Peace" project, part of the broader Sudan365 campaign, features these famous British drummers alongside fellow stickmen from Sudan itself and other countries (Japan, Australia,...).

Let's hope the hawks of war hear the drums for peace.
