On Monday August 21,  Trump announced that the US is escalating their war drive will send 4000 more troops to Afghanistan, in addition to the at least 8,400 already there. Today, after 16 years of US/NATO—led war and occupation, the people of Afghanistan face destruction, instability, poverty, unemployment and a society plagued by a foreign imperialist occupation.

In Yemen, what has become dubbed as the “forgotten war” is continuing with Saudi-led, US-backed airstrikes, and a land, air and sea blockade preventing critical food, water, sanitary and medical supplies from entering the country. This has set the stage for the world's worst recorded cholera outbreak. Since April 2017, over 540,000 people in Yemen have been infected with cholera, and an estimated 2000 have died from the disease.

Meanwhile in Syria, US military intervention is becoming increasingly deadly for the Syrian people. US airstrikes in the Syrian city of Raqqa have killed many civilians, with estimates as high as 100 civilians killed by US airstrikes in the last 48 hours.

In Afghanistan, in Syria, in Yemen, and across the Middle East and North Africa the blood of millions innocent people is on the hands of US imperialism. It is up to peace -loving people to come together against war and occupation!
