New Era of War and Occupation
From
Afghanistan to Yemen: More Than One Decade of War, Occupation and
Bloodshed - Where Are We Today? 




TUESDAY
June 9
7pm
Joe's
Cafe (Large North Hall)
1150
Commercial Drive @ William Street
Vancouver,
Canada



Since
Afghanistan was invaded and occupied in October 2001, we have seen 14
years of one country after another devastated by U.S.-led wars,
occupations, sanctions, and covert and overt military operations. The
New Era of War and Occupation has brought destruction and bloodshed
to the Middle East and North Africa including Afghanistan, Iraq,
Palestine, Libya, Syria and now the people of Yemen. In over two and
a half months of U.S. backed Saudi airstrikes on Yemen, upwards of
2000 people have been killed as this criminal bombardment continues. 




Join
this forum to discuss the state of the New Era of War and Occupation
today and the role of the antiwar movement in standing up against
these wars and occupations.

4 ))) MAWO STATEMENT



>>
U.S./Saudi Arabia Hands Off Yemen!
>>
Self-Determination For Yemen! 




April
22, 2015



For
one month Saudi Arabia, with the backing of the US, has devastated
Yemen with a brutal and criminal bombing campaign. According to UN
estimates, over 1,100 innocent Yemeni people have been killed. UNICEF
last week released a report that by conservative estimates, more than
115 children have been killed by the Saudi-led war on Yemen. The
indiscriminate bombing campaign against Yemen has created a
humanitarian crisis where basic infrastructure has been destroyed,
over 150,000 people have been displaced from their homes, and 12
million people in Yemen do not know where there next meal is coming
from.

SEND OFF THE PASTORS FOR PEACE CARAVAN TO CUBA!



Picnic,
Rally and Border Crossing

June 27

Peace
Arch Park (Canada-U.S. Border)
White
Rock/Blaine



Join
together with Cuba supporters from Washington state and British
Columbia to break the U.S. blockade on Cuba!



Since
1992, Pastors for Peace Caravans to Cuba have called international
attention to the cruel and immoral U.S. blockade of Cuba by traveling
from the U.S. to Cuba to deliver humanitarian aid to the Cuban
people, breaking U.S. law. The blockade causes shortages of food,
medicine and other important supplies for 11.5 million people in
Cuba. It is an immoral policy that uses hunger and disease as
political weapons.



For
carpooling call: 778-882-5223
Organized
by Vancouver Communities in Solidarity with Cuba (VCSC)
