U.S. Consulate

On Tuesday December 1st, US President Obama announced his decision to send 30,000 more US troops to Afghanistan, escalating the already brutal war drive against the Afghan people. The government of Canada is compliant and approving of this decision, which is in line with their own criminal occupation of Afghanistan. For Afghan people this decision means more deaths of their people and more destruction and devastation of their country. 
 
Join MAWO to protest Canada’s occupation of Afghanistan and Obama’s recent decision to send more troops to Afghanistan, in front of the US Consulate in Vancouver.
