The US launches hundreds of drone strikes in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Mali etc and reports show thousands of people killed, including hundreds of children, while Israel uses drones to launch regular strikes on the besieged people of Gaza.
The Welsh Government uses millions of pounds of our taxes to facilitate the testing of drones at Parc Aberporth. The Israeli military are a frequent presence there. Do we want to be complicit in war crimes?
Drones and the concept of remote, so-called ‘risk-free’ warfare, is a perilous military escalation, making the option to resort to the use of military force much easier by the big powers
This important conference will discuss what drone warfare is & how we build the anti-drones movement in Wales
