Rejected petition Urge Afghanistan’s APPG to discuss an end to the war in Afghanistan

The government should encourage Afghanistan’s APPG to discuss the deployment of more troops to end the war.

More details

Currently, Britain has 1,100 troops stationed in Afghanistan acting to uphold peace and security in the region. Taliban attacks remain a constant reality in Afghanistan, as seen most recently in a car explosion killing Tolo News anchor, Yama Siawash and the shooting in Kabul University. In light of the continuous conflict that has plagued Afghanistan, we call for the British government to deploy more troops to immediately end the war.
