President Michele Capasso during a press conference recalled his speech at the meeting with President Obama in 2011 when he underlined the sure failure of any military intervention or "external imposition of democracy" in the absence of a true dialogue between the different Afghan souls and cultures.
The result today is the loss of enormous resources - wasted above all for the purchase of weapons - and the useless death of many soldiers and civilians from various countries.
"Only with the UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD - concludes Capasso - it will be possible to avoid tragedies like these and restore peace, human rights and social justice all over the world"

We need to share more and more the memory to preserve and enhance our soul".
