Further details -
We will examine the clear and unforgivable crimes of
UK/ US policy with regards to Iraq and then try to
develop ideas and strategies for practical solidarity
and aid for people in Iraq right now.
Many people in the UK have stopped mobilising around
the mantra of “Troops Out”. This could be a result of
a general disillusionment with marches and protests
which to this date have failed to change British
foreign policy. The occupation continues, the troops
are still not home. However there are other ways we
can work to help Iraqi people rebuild their lives and
resist the corporate take over of their country.
In the past, Iraqi people have fought hard to make
sure they see some of the benefits of the country's
oil industry. Since 1958 the oil industry has been
publicly owned. Right now the there are trade unions
in Iraq working to prevent the US-UK occupiers from
effectively selling off Iraq’s key resource to foreign
private companies. Ewa Jasiewicz from Iraq Occupation
Focus will let us know more about what's happening.
Our key speaker of the night however, is an Iraqi
Humanitarian Aid worker who has first hand experience
of exactly how the invasion of Iraq has effected the
Medical services and has destroyed essential basic
services. Her insights can amount to a clear call for
us to work with Iraqi people and Organisations to
rebuild services independently.
We can't turn back the clock and stop the invasion of
Iraq. But we can make a difference. We hope this night
will inspire you to re-ignite your revolt as well as
re-boot your energy to try to stop the “oil thieves”
and help the innocent victims of their conflict.
