UNITY between anti-war campaigners is crucial to fighting increased militarisation, Welsh peace groups were told at a Cardiff conference on Saturday.

Stop The War Cymru convener Dominic MacAskill said the key theme from the day was the common work between peace groups and progressive organisations and that unity must be taken forward into campaigning work within communities across Wales.

Co-chairman David McKnight told the conference it was “a privilege to be a part of the movement at such a critical and dangerous moment.”
