Sudan365.org is a recently-established political action collective comprising "thousands of activists and supporters who are drumming for a brighter future for the people of Sudan," according to the organization's official website.

"Sudan is at a critical moment in its history. On 9 January 2010, Sudanese communities and activists around the world are joining together to call on international leaders to take urgent diplomatic action to prevent an escalation of conflict in Sudan that could lead to massive human rights violations."

In order to draw attention to the cause, the drummers of Radiohead, Pink Floyd, the Police, Elbow, the Corrs and Snow Patrol, along with Egypt's Mohammed Munir, Yehia Khalil and Ghana's Mustaffa Teffey Addy have set out to "beat for peace." You can view the video results below.

According to Britain's Guardian, "The initiative was conceived by Jamie Catto, a founder of One Giant Leap and Faithless. Catto worked with Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and the Save Darfur Coalition to organise drumming events in 15 cities worldwide, including a demonstration in London opposite 10 Downing Street on Saturday.

"‘My personal connection with Sudan is my personal connection with humanity,' Catto told the BBC. ‘[Drums are] something anyone can join in with. Anyone can add a beat to show that everybody feels that making sure horrific atrocities and millions of murders don't kick off again in Sudan.'"
