DESCRIPTION:January 9th is the fifth anniversary of the signing of the Comprehensive 
 Peace Agreement (CPA) between North and South Sudan.  Come hear an update, 
 see a video of celebrities and activists drumming for peace, cautioning 
 that there is one year to prevent war again in Sudan.  And drum along with 
 others.\n\nOne of the speakers is Deng Jongkuch, one of the Lost Boys of 
 Sudan living in San Jose. In 2001, after nearly fourteen years in refugee 
 camps, Deng was selected with 3,800 other boys to come to the United 
 States. \n\nThe events around the world have been organised by a coalition 
 of groups including San Francisco Bay Area Darfur Coalition, Amnesty 
 International, Save Darfur, FIDH, Refugees International, Human Rights 
 Watch, International Rescue Committee, Darfur Consortium and Arab Coalition 
 for Darfur to launch sudan365.org (www.sudan365.org)  a year of campaigning 
 for Sudan. \n\nSudan365 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 Corrs; 
 Richard Jupp, Elbow; renowned Egyptian drummer Yehia Khalil; 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 video. \n  \nActivists are calling on world leaders to 
 dramatically increase their engagement to: \n* Provide intensive and 
 coherent diplomatic support to Northern and Southern Sudanese parties on 
 unresolved issues such as wealth sharing, borders and security, and 
 legislation for the referendum; and\n* Increase international monitoring 
 and reporting on human rights violations throughout Sudan in the run up to 
 the April elections and referendum, and support measures to protect 
 civilians from potential violence related to these events.\n
