April 4, 2024. Peace activists gathered at Deptford Town Hall, condemning NATO on its 75th anniversary for its gruesome record of war, violence, and colonialism.
A public meeting organised by Lewisham and Greenwich CND and Lewisham Stop the War heard from Myriam Kane (Black Liberation Alliance); Sami Ramadani (Iraqi-born lecturer in sociology); Fiona Sim (Black Liberation Alliance); and alex Gordon (Stop the War Coalition).
The US drive for global domination is at the heart of NATO. In the last 75 years, NATO has expanded both its sphere of influence and the scope of its activity, destabilising international relationships as it does so. The war in Ukraine, which NATO expansion did much to provoke, has led to substantially increased NATO activity in Europe, alongside an increased presence in the Asia-Pacific region and across other parts of the world.
“NATO’s brutal military alliance has become the most perfidious instrument of repression known in the history of humankind.”
