Afghans for Peace and the Toronto Coalition to Stop the War: Rally To End the NATO War of Occupation in Afghanistan

By Lucid and The Ugly Truth, We Are Change Toronto

April 9, 2011, TORONTO

Gathered outside the U.S. General Consulate, peace activists from the Toronto Coalition to Stop the War, Afghans for Peace, We Are Change Toronto and allied groups held a demonstration as part of a nation wide campaign to end the NATO wars and genocide in the middle east.

A statement by AFP

“We are now in the 10th year that Afghanistan has been occupied in an illegal war by Canadian and NATO-led forces. Civilian deaths rise every year, and over 30% of those figures are Afghan children. With the eye-opening “Kill Team” story and the release of graphic photographs and video footage of soldiers proudly posing with Afghan corpses, it has become evident that Coalition forces deliberately target and murder Afghan civilians. This is how the military industrial complex operates but these war crimes MUST STOP!

The so-called military solution in Afghanistan has FAILED. A clear majority of Afghans want the troops to leave their country. A clear majority of Canadians want to bring the troops home.
