British-based Muslims have announced plans to stage their version of Live 8 concert to highlight the humanitarian crisis in Sudans Darfur region.
London, Aug.21 : British-based Muslims have announced plans to stage their version of Live 8 concert to highlight the humanitarian crisis in Sudan's Darfur region.
According to The Times, they are hoping for a sell-out at London's Wembley Stadium on October 21.
Jehangir Malik, the UK national fundraising manager of Islamic Relief, said: "We are going for our own equivalent of Live 8. We are going for a concert at the end of Ramadan to celebrate Eid.
The event will be headlined by singer Sami Yusuf (formerly Cat Stevens), and while targeting Muslims, it is hoped that members of different communities will attend.
There will also be an information blitz throughout Ramadan calling for people to "rise to the challenge of helping Darfur" with messages sent to mosques and imams for Friday sermons.
