'Is there a way forward in Afghanistan? Why life has worsened under Canada/NATO occupation.'

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

WEDNESDAY July 16th
6:30pm
In the Large North Hall of Joe's Cafe
(Williams Street at Commercial Drive)

Join MAWO for our bi-monthly Forum Classes to discuss
in depth issues facing the antiwar movement today.

Last weekend Gen. Walter Natynczyk, Canada's
new Chief of Defence Staff, visited
Afghanistan and gave a rosy spin on the occupation,
claiming rising combat between occupiers and Afghan
resistance is 'negligible'. Meanwhile, the Canadian Press
reported that the number of attacks in Afghanistan
has actually increased by 77 per cent from 2007.

The government of Canada’s politicians and
their lackeys claim progress and better living
conditions for Afghan people. However
the truth is that everyday life in Afghanistan is
condemned to war and occupation, and consequently a
continuous misery for Afghan people.

This forum-class will discuss the quagmire that
imperialist countries are facing after 6 ½ years
of occupying Afghanistan and the deterioration of
life that the occupation has brought for the
Afghan people.

We will discuss:
>> Why is the situation in Afghanistan worsening?
>> Is there any way forward in Afghanistan?
>> Why have Canada/NATO, as well as the US and UK
occupied Afghanistan?


Speaker: Ali Yerevani, political editor of the Fire This
Time Newspaper
Speaker will be followed by discussion
