Threats of War: Britain’s New Global Role

There will be sessions on Britain’s role in the Middle East; Biden and the conflict with China; Final frontiers: the arms trade, space war and AI; Racism and Islamophobia; War and climate change and more.

Yemen Can’t Wait online rally

The Saudi-led war on Yemen is about to enter its sixth destructive year. According to a recent UN report, the war has already claimed 233,000 lives. It is estimated that 80% of the Yemeni population need humanitarian assistance – some 24 million people.

And who is the main Western backer of the war? Boris Johnson and his Tory government. Even after Joe Biden announced an end to US support for the war the British government shamefully continues to sell bombs and aircraft to the Saudi regime who have created the worst humanitarian crisis on earth.

Join us in two weeks time as we call on the British government to stop prolonging the carnage in Yemen by ending all arms sales and military support for the Saudi-led coalition immediately.
