Obama and Karzai (Afghanistan’s so-called president) say the war will end
in 2014, while stating simultaneously that American troops will remain in
some capacity until 2024. As that year approaches will they then say they
mean to remain until 2034?
Former Afghan MP Malalai Joya says that “the reality is that the US and
its Nato allies plan to dominate Afghanistan and the larger region
militarily for the next generation” in order “to control our energy and
mineral resources, and maintain military superiority over China and other
competitors.”
She also states that “no one can believe leaders like Obama who say they
are working for peace even as they continue the bombings, night raids and
drone attacks that kill civilians every week – sometimes every day – in
Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere.”
In May 2009 Nato bombing killed some 150 people in Farah province which
Joya represented as an MP from 2005. She asks how Obama and his wife”
would feel if their daughters were killed in this senseless and brutal
manner?”
TEN YEARS OF WAR IS MORE THAN ENOUGH. COME AND HEAR OUR SPEAKERS CALL FOR
AN END TO THE WAR NOW.
