International Conference on Afghanistan in London: CODEPINK in Solidarity with London Protests

January 27th, 2010

The International Coordinating Committee (ICC) of "No to War -- No to NATO" has just issued a statement regarding the Afghanistan Conference. This conference was summoned by Brown, Sarkozy, and Merkel, and a key topic of debate will be the Obama administration's request for additional troops for Afghanistan from NATO allies such as Germany and France. The German government has said that it will only consider increasing German troops in Afghanistan following the discussions in London.

We would like to invite all of you to join the manyfold protests around the international Afghanistan conference and would like to ask you to support the enclosed statement; spread it throughout your networks, send it to the media of your county and place it on your website homepages.
