Saturday the 5th of June was a busy day for us. While Medhat was representing the Centre at the demonstration in Edinburgh about the Israeli government's treatment of the aid flotilla, we still ensured a fun day at Faslane on Nuclear Abolition Day and Annabel kept the Centre open.

If you agree with the Peace and Justice Centre coordinator, come along on 5th June to the next big demo at Faslane. It's to campaign for a Nuclear Weapons Convention that will ban these horrific and deadly so-called weapons outright and allow us to think about how we can build real human security instead of threatening other countries and making our a target for terrorist. More info on our Facebook page or the calendar on this website.

After the remake of Nineteen linking the war in Vietnam to the war in Afghanistan, at least from the perspective of the disastrous effect on a generation of young Americans, here is another video of an anti war song begging our US fellow global citizens to remember that we can learn from history.

After 2000 people turned out to demonstrate March, this Easter Saturday's event at Faslane is next up for nuclear disarmament campaigners. As we head toward the NPT Rreview Conference in New York in May momentum is building for the abolition of nuclear weapons. In Japan more than five million people have signed a petition calling for nuclear weapons to be banned. Let's show that the demand for disarmament is as strong as ever here in Scotland. Be at Faslane for 12 noon - see the story for details.

We will assemble at 11am  Holyrood, with  First Minister Alex Salmond MSP (SNP) at the Scottish Parliament and set off up the Royal Mile at 11.30.

25 Years ago, I recorded the song 19, the idea came about whilst watching a documentary which highlighted the plight of young men and women who fought in Vietnam.

In World War 2 the average age of the combat soldier was 26, in Vietnam he was 19 these words really made me stop and think.

The Peace & Justice Centre organised this event as part of 'We need peace in Sudan' - see sudan365.org - on the 9th January. This is the fifth anniversary of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement for Sudan, which signaled the end of the civil war. Millions were killed. Millions were displaced. Millions suffered dire human rights abuses.
