We Want Peace - Emmanuel Jal - We Want Peace

We Want Peace (WWP) has a simple goal: To raise awareness on the fundamental principles of justice, equality, unification and conflict prevention, through the power of music, worldwide. Spearheaded by the internationally renowned recording artist, actor, author and activist, Emmanuel Jal, the WWP campaign has gone from strength to strength since launching in December 2010. Kicking off the campaign, and in dedication to Southern Sudan's historic referendum, Emmanuel released what has become the world wide music hit: 'We Want Peace'. The uptempo feel good classic brings a sense of appreciation and entertainment to the importance of peace and security.

Featuring strings by non other than Peter Gabriel, the song, like the campaign, dedicates itself to the realization that peace, is possible. To date, South Sudan's referendum has been a peaceful success, with 98% of its population voting for separation. The national flag of independence is expected to be raised on 9 July 2011; saying that, the issue of Darfur, the Nuba Mountains and the Abyei borders remains a disturbing situation for many in the region. WWP Supporters include a variety of high profile individuals and organisations, including Alicia Keys, Peter Gabriel, Richard Branson, George Clooney, Kofi Annan, former US President Jimmy Carter, Annie Lennox, MC Hammer, Yasir Arman of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM), Kenya's Prime Minister Raila Odinga, the Enough Project, Humanity United and many more. As we enter 2011, Emmanuel Jal's We Want Peace campaign looks set to be bigger than ever, with soon to be announced tour dates, speaking engagements and an exciting new music development focused on Tribalism.
