Over 100,000 people have died and millions are the brink of famine. The British Government is complicit in this war; over \u00a35 billion worth of arms have been sold to the Saudi coalition since the start of the war and RAF personnel have maintained Saudi planes and directed the bombings. Stop the War Coalition, alongside organisations around the world, has called a global day of action against the war on Yemen on 25th January 2021. Students have played a major role in fighting against British involvement in the war, organising protests across the country over the summer, and will have a vital role in building the day of action. Join us to discuss how we can take action on the 25th January and end the war on Yemen.<br \/>\n&#8212; Speakers (tbc):<br \/>\nLucy Nichols, Stop the War<br \/>\nMalak Mayet, Campaign Against the Arms Trade<br \/>\nAdhiyan Jeevathol, London Students for Yemen<br \/>\nLamar Campbell, Young Labour International Representative<br \/>\nHasan Patel, Young Labour Under 18&#8217;s Representative<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/tZUpdu6vqT8sE9Y2sa8B_gnHQNmy5pL-bcx_?link_id=10&#038;can_id=2cba0f31fed223e57ffed01491864a77&#038;source=email-this-week-shows-what-were-all-about-2&#038;email_referrer=email_1005910&#038;email_subject=an-action-packed-end-to-the-year\">Register here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>December 3-5<br \/>\nDevelopment, Environment and Peace Nexus (DEEPEN): Peace Making in Borderlands<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>United Nations Research Institute for Social Development<br \/>\n&#8212; Violence and conflict in borderlands are inseparable from environmental degradation and hinder social development.
