| Emergency Protest End Britain's Involvement in Military Aggression Against Libya! Monday March 21 Newcastle Monument 5pm Bring placards Oppose the military aerial bombardment on Libya by France, Britain, US and other countries. They are trying to fool the world that this is a legal and humanitarian act to "protect civilians". The resolution they have does not authorise regime change yet this is once again their stated aim and they have started to do this with airstrikes. It was a minority vote at the "Security Council" of UN with 5 countries expressing serious concerns and abstaining within the "Security Council" and many more in the UN opposing this military interference. Interference in a sovereign country in this way is an act of war and has no legality in the UN charter. The consequences of the intervention in Libya and interference in the civil conflict there will lead to huge disasters for the people of Libya and North Africa. Many hundreds of thousands have been killed in the their previous interventions in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq. These warmongers have been trying to hoodwink the people into thinking that they are so humanitarian when in fact they care not for the many people who will be killed as a result but they see their chance to satisfy the venal interests of the arms companies, of the Big oil companes in robbing the people of Libya and the people of North Africa of their oil and other precious resources and their freedom and their lives. Stand against the warmongers Cameron, Hague and the British government who have been in the forefront of calling for intervention in Libya. Stand against whole pro-war consensus at Westminster, which without even a vote in Parliament are leading the country into further aggression extended now from the Middle East into North Africa and involving Britain in yet more aggressive wars. That we have a new Blair in Cameron shows even more the need to fight for an anti-war government in Britain. |
