Redeploy UK Forces to Afghanistan to protect the citizens against the Taliban

Closed 208 signatures

What the petition asks

Redeploy troops to key Afghan positions and use our influence to create a coalition of International forces to prevent another humanitarian disaster.
Over the 20 years of the war we have repeatedly stood with allies to protect the citizens of Afghanistan and build a nation that would be capable of defending itself against the tyranny of the Taliban - today is not that day. Help needs to be sent to prevent the massacre of a people facing death due to our misguided decision to start the war.
