Banners and posters were put up in Alta Valsusa against the military exercise “Volpe Bianca”. Here is a contribution and some pictures:
“While war looms once again at the door of Europe; while bombs are raining down over the heads of thousands of people; while the umpteenth wrestling between opposing imperialisms is underway taking its toll in blood, the roads and mountains of Alta Valsusa, Sestriere and Val Chisone are literally occupied by NATO troops. Over these days Italian, French and US military are amusing themselves playing war games with their loads of weapons and armoured vehicles in total disrespect for those who are suffering war, are dying of it. For years “Volpe Bianca” exercises have been carried out in our mountains at this time of year, between ski racing and Alpine fanfares. The deafening silence that surrounds this macabre theatre is being broken by a simple but for us very important voice. The streets and squares of Sestriere filled up with leaflets and banners. Hairpin bends on the hill were painted with words refusing to welcome the bearers of death and destruction. Refusal and boycott of war also start here.
No peace for those who make war!
NATO murderers out of our mountains!
No more death games in Valsusa!
Some inhabitants of Valsusa”
