Britain: Thousands March Against War In Afghanistan
Written by Admin Monday, 22 November 2010 07:47
Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets to march against the war in Afghanistan as Nato leaders discussed bringing an end to the nine-year conflict.
Demonstrators were led by military families as they carried anti-war placards and banners against cuts to government spending.
As the march moved from Hyde Park, central London, protesters chanted: "When they say warfare, we say welfare".
The demonstration took place as the Prime Minister attended a Nato summit in Lisbon, where an agreement was reached which will see Afghan forces take over full responsibility for the country's security in 2014.
The coalition government has stated that Britain's combat role in Afghanistan will end by 2015.
Guardsman Christopher Davies, who was killed on Wednesday in Helmand, was the 100th British member of the armed forces to die this year after being deployed to Afghanistan.
Many of the protesters said the Government's commitment to end Britain's combat role over the next four years was not soon enough.
Clara Torres, 62, said: "That's far too long for them to be there. They shouldn't be there in the first place."
At Trafalgar Square the rally was addressed by a series of speakers.
Seamus Milne, a commentator for the Guardian, said: "In Lisbon today the Nato leaders will try to make it appear that they are bringing an end to this war, a war that is now in its 10th year. This talk of an exit strategy is clearly a sham." http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5ir7Ge20JSIh0IetEH6psm1Ed8uPw?docId=B3287751290261077A0

Though we do not really know who took the videos and where it originates, we have the information that it was taken after the Indonesian earthquake in Padang, Riau. If you look patiently at the video, you will see a pair of eyes that is formed in the clouds overlooking a village in Indonesia. It will really shock and scare you!
However, apparently this video was taken a few years ago in Russia. Hence the source is unknown and the location too but it is a very real video, not a graphic picture.
