About Caoimhe Butterly
Caoimhe Butterly has been working in the Middle East for several years. She
will give an eyewitness account of life in Lebanon in the aftermath of
Israel's war, the current plight of Palestinian refugees, and the situation
in Nahr El-Bared refugee camp.

Lebanon is entering a period of political instability - a dangerous vacuum
with no President and no political solution/compromise in sight. At the same
time, Palestinians living in a variety of refugee camps in Lebanon look
anxiously at Annapolis and Nablus and wonder about their short and long term
future, while those living and exiled recently from Nahr El-Bared return
cautiously to the mayhem left behind by the Lebanese Army and the
insurgents.

This event is part of a 14 part speaking tour of Ireland organised by the
IPSC, Anti-war Ireland, the Irish Anti-War Movement, the Galway Alliance
Against the War, the Derry Anti-War Alliance and the Raytheon 9, Amnesty and
a number of individuals who are supporting the tour.
