London - Band members from Pink Floyd, Radiohead and Snow Patrol have teamed up to call an end to the ongoing conflict in Sudan.

Drummers from the groups are taking part in the Beat for Peace campaign, a film which calls for an end to conflict in the African country after millions died in the civil war there, which ended in 2005.

The documentary, which is part of the wider Sudan 365 campaign, features other artists from Sudan, Australia and Japan as well.

“I wanted to be involved in this project because I think music is such a powerful way of bringing people together,” the Daily Express quoted Radiohead’s Phil Selway as saying of the drive created by Faithless drummer Jamie Catto.

“Of course, I’m biased in thinking that what’s underpinning it all is always the beat - always drummers!

“Hopefully this film will show that together people can make a huge noise and through this film I hope people’s focus will be brought back to what is happening in the Sudan over this very important next year,” he added.

A referendum is due to be held next January (11) on independence for the south of the country, but campaigners fear there could be a return to conflict this year. Source: (ANI)
