Cardiff Stop the War was first launched 22 years ago, the week after 9/11. We are the oldest still-active peace group in the capital city of Wales. This is our new account. We look forward to sharing information on local, national and global peace and Palestine issues and actions
German youth out in the streets again, waving their middle fingers at return to compulsory military service & politicians shovelling more cash into the military budget. Somewhere, no doubt, a general is demanding more discipline. The kids have other plans

Wales has mountains, rivers, forests and wild country. It has no need to put itself on the map as a factory floor for war. An arms factory in Bannau Brycheiniog? Leave the guns to the generals. Give us the mountains. Give us the wild country. Give us Wales.
Plans for an explosives factory in a national park are likely to encounter significant opposition from local residents if a formal planning application is submitted ✍️@ShiptonMartin wp.me/p8Mk4U-1tQr

STOP THE EXPLOSIVES FACTORY. PROTECT BANNAU BRYCHEINIOG NATIONAL PARK. Some places are simply too precious to sacrifice. No compromise when it comes to protecting wild country. No arms factory. No explosives. Leave the Park alone.
One of Wales’ best-known landowners is seeking to establish an explosives factory in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, we have established ✍️@ShiptonMartin wp.me/p8Mk4U-1tLl
Stop the explosives factory. Protect Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. We can stop this, but not by watching from the sidelines.

Arms Fair Update.
'the Welsh Government’s own procurement record on its Sell2Wales website, gives August 24, 2026, as the estimated date for signing the sponsorship contract – more than three months after Plaid Cymru took office.'
Anti-war campaigners have raised concerns that Plaid Cymru MSs may have misled constituents who called for the Welsh Government to withdraw its sponsorship from what critics have dubbed an “arms fair” ✍️@ShiptonMartin nation.cymru/news/activists-…

University workers warn that closer links between universities, the military & arms industry could chill academic freedom and university independence, while also dictating which areas of research receive resources and support.

1/5 TUC Congress, the annual gathering of UK trade unions representing 6 million workers has voted to support the Palestinian-led Boycotts, Divestment & Sanctions movement to apply diplomatic, economic & cultural pressure to end Israel’s apartheid & crimes against Palestinians
4/5 That means investment in health, education, housing, social care, social security and climate resilience, rather than treating military expansion as the automatic answer to insecurity.

Rhun ap Iorwerth was right to criticise the UK Government for moving too slowly and that we need to see international pressure on the Israeli government. But just as the UK Government must do more, so too must the Welsh Government ✍️ Glenn Page, Amnesty International wp.me/p8Mk4U-1sWl

Cardiff Stop the War turns 25 this month
Founded a week after 9/11, we built a mass movement around 3 basic demands: Stop the War. Oppose racism & Islamophobia. Defend civil liberties
A quarter-century on, those principles are as urgent as ever. An account of our founding story
25 years ago (week after 9/11) I joined @CardiffStW to campaign against 20-year war in Afghanistan to replace Taliban with Taliban (& then Iraq). Wrote this for @voice_cymru on 20th anniversary of 9/11 about my experiences as a (then) young peace activist
