Action is needed in Libya to prevent massacres – but it must be Libyan-led with regional backing
Caabu is deeply concerned over the deteriorating situation in Libya and the horrific reports of bombings of Libyan civilians and towns by Gaddafi forces. Immediate action is required to prevent this and to assist those fighting this brutal regime.
This panel will explore the domestic and regional challenges facing Lebanon following the recent collapse of the Hariri government
Panel:

All Welcome (first come, first seated)

Dealing with the media is a crucial aspect of our work as the media plays such a huge role in shaping political debate in the UK and how Arabs are perceived by the British public.
Caabu calls on international community to take action to end violence against Libyan civilians

Caabu Director, Chris Doyle, spoke at a major rally in London's Trafalgar Square on 12 February in support of the Egyptian people.
He stressed the need to oppose those who still wanted to prevent change in Egypt.
"The Egyptian people need our support, not tomorrow but now, today, to insist that military rule is temporary, that there must be full and fair democratic elections for a free Egypt, respecting the outcome whatever the result!"
The panel will discuss the implications of the fall of Mubarak in Egypt on the Arab world and British policy to the MENA region
Panel:
Dr Maha Azzam
Associate Fellow, Chatham House
Dr Omar Ashour
Lecturer, Exeter University
Nabila Ramdani
Freelance journalist specialising in Islamic affairs and the Arab world
Baroness Sayeeda Warsi
"I’ve been on a Caabu delegation to Palestine, and I think these delegations are an essential part of my understanding of what is happening in Palestine, and in the broader Middle East. It gives parliamentarians like me an opportunity to hear from those who are living these conflicts.”
