antrim / anti-war / imperialism Saturday March 20, 2004 - 16:35 by Cllr Eoin O'Broin
More than 200 people marched through Belfast's Royal Avenue this afternoon on the 1st Anniversary of the US led invasion of Iraq.

Speakers from the Firebrigades Union, the Belfast Islamic Centre, the representative of the Basque Community and Sinn Féin all called for the US lead coalition troops to withdraw from Iraq immediately and allow the people of Iraq to determine their own affairs.

Speakers accused Bush, Blair and other leaders of misleading and ignoring world opinion and destabilising Iraq, the Middle East and indeed the world.

An earlier protest in West Belfast highlighting recent killings, one by a Spanish police officer, in the Basque Country, held a solidarity feeder march to join the main anti war demo.

Other groups in attendance were the SWP, the SP, the CP, Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Ógra Shinn Féin, Belfast Anarchists, as well as many non alligned individuals. ... read full story / add a comment

In the St Patrick’s Day Parade in Galway today, the Patron Saint banished the war criminal Bush from Ireland’s shores. That was the theme of the Galway Alliance Against War float. A snake with George Bush’s head was pursued through the streets of Galway by a peace loving St Patrick. And the crowd applauded in support of St Paddy.
Appropriately, in its statement for St Patrick’s Day the Galway peace group called “on St Patrick to return in June and banish from our shores the evil snake George W. Bush and all his deadly vipers that land daily in Shannon en route to kill in occupied Iraq.” ... read full story / add a comment
