Dear Conter readers,

This Saturday, Stop the War Scotland will hold a national teach-in on the war in Ukraine and the growing threat of conflict across Europe and around the world.

In recent days, Nato General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg has repeatedly said that the military alliance will greatly increase its presence across Europe. Tensions continue to mount between the west and China, and the impact of the war has reached the middle east, Africa and Latin America.

That is why it is so important to build anti-war organisation and have it informed by a rigorous analysis of events.

Conter editor David Jamieson will join anti-war activists and thinkers including Vijay Prashad, Lindsey German, Tariq Ali and Isobel Lindsay to discuss a range of questions confronting the movement.

We hope to see you all there.
