The grief for the death of other four lives in a war never declared in the mountains of 'Afghanistan requires us a strong reflection on the meaning of Western military presence in that battered country by a thirty-year conflict.
Our military presence after nine years is now perceived as a military occupation and incidents between NATO troops and the civilian population there are now no more.
bomb load our planes is a double mistake: first because it has nothing to do with the defense of our soldiers on the ground and second because, besides being a tool to fight militarily ineffective forms of guerrilla casualties will reap civilians enlisting new recruits in the ranks of the Taliban.
withdraw the army to speak another language with other players is perhaps the only option.
weapons cost so, too with that money you can do many things at once: it can be made to work better that Italy is sliding deeper into the abyss of the crisis and work together with Afghan civil society for a civil and social reconstruction of the country.
that the military solution is not served is demonstrated by the undeniable fact that after nearly a decade the Taliban control the vast majority of Afghan territory while the government recognized by the West has remained little more than administer the capital.
Gap will work for this as in all places possible to assert the right to barbarism , so that we invest in shares peace both in Afghanistan and in Italy, because there is a thin thread that ties the violence in that context of war with barbarism that every day we discover penetrate between us.
Building a culture of peace and nonviolence is not just a slogan but a necessity and we will begin to do so starting this weekend with three days on Rights, Peace, Citizenship October 15 to 17 at Monte Sole Peace School (Marzabotto)
