Iraq - 20 Years On: A War That Should Never Have Happened

Campaign for a new, independent, foreign policy based on co-operation and diplomacy rather than the 'bomb first, talk later' approach of successive governments.

Stop the War Coalition

An event to mark 20 years since the start of the Iraq War.

George Fox Room, Friends House

The invasion of Iraq launched twenty years ago by George Bush and Tony Blair was a catastrophe for the Iraqi people and had a disastrous impact across the Middle East and beyond. It led to a million deaths, the displacement of millions more, the destabilisation of the region and a deep anger against the Western powers across whole areas of the globe.It also generated the biggest anti-war movement in history.Stop the War is marking the anniversary of the war with an evening of remembrance and analysis from Iraqi activists and other leading anti-war figures including Lowkey, Sami Ramadani, Raghad Al-Tikriti, Tariq Ali and Lindsey German. Plus a performance of You Don&#x27;t Know What You Don&#x27;t Know by Jan Woolf w/ Kika Markham and Alan Franks.
