Northern Ireland Youth Oppose Oil War

On the Streets

Thousands of youth and trade unionists took to the streets of Derry, Belfast, Omagh, Enniskillen and Newry today to fight against the oil war.

The mobilisation today was all the more remarkable because it followed a decision by ICTU to delay official protests until Friday. Despite this disruption to the plans of the anti war movement young people from schools, universities, work places and collages gathered in towns to oppose the war.
It is a credit to the strength of the movement that it was able to go ahead with the demos. Well done everyone who worked so hard to sent a message to Blair should be.
