Stop the War AGM calls to rebuild the peace movement in a world at war

UNTOLD billions are being pumped into arms companies while Europe struggles with soaring homelessness, poverty and climate change, Irish MEP Clare Daly told the Stop the War Coalition AGM in London at the weekend.
The aggressors who brought war to Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya — currently plunged into crisis by floods its post-invasion failed state cannot cope with — “don’t suddenly become peacemakers. It doesn’t happen like that,” she declared to applause.
Ms Daly said the constant flow of arms would not help Ukraine — “the best it can hope for if this continues to to be another Libya, or as Hillary Clinton gleefully said, ‘Russia’s Afghanistan,’ and what a nightmare for the people of Ukraine.”
