From Stop the War Coalition

Syrian children who have suffered so much from violence and war in their young lives, send a message: ‘UK please do not bomb our country’.

On 28 November 2015, Mairead Maguire visited a school in Homs, where children have suffered from violence and war.
On 2nd December, 2015 the United Kingdom Parliament voted to bomb Syria and the world watched as British planes, equipped with the latest bombs aptly named ‘Brimstone’ are dropped on Syrian targets and country.
On 28/ll/2015 during my visit to Homs and at a school in the heart of Old Homs, Syrian children who have suffered so much from violence and war in their young lives, send a message: ‘UK please do not bomb our country, we love Syria’.
Having returned from my third visit to Syria, the message from the Syrian people is, they do not want outside military interference in their country, they want through peace and reconciliation to stop all violence and build a just and peaceful Syria, and they are already doing this themselves.

Syrian children send a message: ‘UK please do not bomb our country, we love Syria’.
