From October 2 – 8, 2017, Thirty-four actions across the country marked the 16th anniversary of U.S. war on Afghanistan, the longest foreign war in U.S. history. Sixteen years after the invasion of Afghanistan, the U.S, puppet government and U.S. forces only control about 60% percent of the country, and no area of the country is safe from attack. Under the Obama administration, the Afghan war was escalated as Obama increased U.S. troop strength to 100,000. At the same time, there were 40,000 troops from other NATO countries in Afghanistan as well as 88,000 U.S. paid mercenaries (or “contractors” as the U.S. media likes to call them). Despite this buildup of occupation forces, the U.S. was not able to pacify Afghanistan, one of the poorest countries in the world. The lesson of this war is that whenever an occupation force tries to impose its will on another country, there will always be resistance.

With the failure of the Obama administration’s escalation of the Afghanistan War, troops were again reduced. As the Trump administration took office, they bombed Afghanistan with the largest non-nuclear bomb ever used, they have promised a new escalation in the number of troops on the ground, and they have dramatically increased the bombing.

Therefore, the U.S. antiwar movement came together around the 16th anniversary of the war and called for action.

Bring all the troops home now!

Money for jobs and education, not war and occupation!

End all racist wars at home and abroad!
