Background
In a historic setback for the organisers of the War on Terror,
protest and public opinion helped stop a new war on Syria. But the
West continues its interventions, creating failed states in an arc
from Central Asia to West Africa.
The US is still focused on the middle east, but Obama is sending more
military to encircle China and the West is ramping up its
interventions in the African continent, creating ever more anger and
instability.
Next year the NATO conference is coming to Britain and the conference
will launch protests in response. It will also discuss the planned
withdrawal from Afghanistan which is likely to cause another crisis
for the western powers.
We need more effective anti war resistance internationally. This
conference is a chance to analyse, build links and lay plans.
