SUDAN365: A BEAT FOR PEACE

A global day of action on Sudan will take place on January 9, 2010, marking the fifth anniversary of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement between North and South Sudan and one year out from the referendum that will determine whether the Southern region of Sudan will separate from the North.

With many highly contentious issues still to be resolved, with growing violence in the South and unresolved conflict in Darfur, there is a real risk of a return to widespread conflict that could destabilize the entire region and place civilians in grave danger.

On January 9th, groups from across the world will join together and call on their leaders to take urgent diplomatic action to prevent a return to violence in Sudan.

Events are being held in Mali, Togo, Benin, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Kenya, London, Edinburgh, Italy, Norway, New Zealand, Cairo and other places to be confirmed.
