Canada's Afghanistan War: Don't extend it. End it!
Dear Ceasefire.ca supporters -
This is an urgent alert to inform you of new developments in Afghanistan, and to ask for your help to avert more innocent civilian casualties. Your action is required.
This could be our most important campaign since our founding in 2003. We are
asking our 20,000 supporters to support our media and lobbying campaign to stop the attack on Kandahar.
According to reports, a major military offensive is being planned involving 23,000 American, Canadian and Afghan troops on the city of Kandahar and the nearby countryside. Heavy casualties are expected, including civilians.
The attack may be launched in July. A CBC reporter said it will unleash “a summer of bloodshed” (CBC, 10 May 2010).
I urge a peaceful solution to this conflict.
