Confronting War Ten Years On

As millions around the world predicted around the world, the war on terror has caused catastrophe from Afghanistan and Pakistan through Iraq and the Middle East to Libya, Yemen, Somalia and beyond. The Western States have backed brutal Israeli assaults against the Palestinians in theoccupied West Bank and Gaza and is threatening further intervention in Syria, Lebanon and Iran.

Ten years after the biggest demonstrations in history in February 2003, the warnings of millions have been vindicated.

Speakers include: Tariq Ali, Tony Benn, Phyllis Bennis, Noam Chomsky (via Video Link), Jeremy Corbyn MP, Lindsey German, Owen Jones, Jemima Khan, Sami Ramadani, Salma Yaqoob and many others.

Conference sessions will cover topics including: Palestine & the Middle East, drones, the new scramble for Africa, Islamophobia and more
