Nick Masons joins campaign against Sudan violence

Posted January 11, 2010 by Floydian Slip

Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason has joined Beat for Peace, a movement calling for renewed diplomatic efforts to prevent violence in the African nation of Sudan.

Mason appears in a video of drummers (below) across the globe lending their support to the cause.

Stewart Copeland (The Police), Phil Selway (Radiohead), Jonny Quinn (Snow Patrol) and many others also appear in the video.

The civil war between North and South Sudan was Africa’s longest-running civil war, killing more than 2 million people. With violence on the increase in southern Sudan, activists are trying to prevent the return of mass human rights violations to that area.

More information about Sudan and Beat for Peace is available at the Beat for Peace Web site.
