Cagliari is ready to make its voice heard against wars and the military industry . On Saturday 26 October in Piazza Vittime del Moby Prince, at 10 am, citizens, associations, unions and organizations will gather for a sit-in that does not want to be just a demonstration, but a collective cry: enough wars, enough weapons . The goal is clear: to invoke a global ceasefire , starting from Gaza and Ukraine, to every corner of the world afflicted by conflict.

The rallying call is not just local. Cagliari is part of a national mobilization that will involve six other Italian cities .

Fausto Durante , regional secretary of the CGIL , underlines the urgency of peace: «We must immediately stop the ongoing conflicts , stop sending weapons to countries at war. Italy must clearly take a stand in favor of a peace process, governed by the United Nations, to guarantee development and rights to oppressed peoples, from Palestine to all conflict fronts».

The sit-in has among its main promoters a vast front of associations, parties and movements committed to social issues and the defense of human rights . From CGIL Sardegna to Legambiente, from ARCI to Emergency, participation is transversal and united by a common goal: "To throw wars, occupations, crimes against humanity out of history", as the manifesto of the mobilization states.

The demonstration does not limit itself to calling for an end to conflicts, but goes further, proposing a clear vision of a future without weapons, neither nuclear nor conventional . The message is unequivocal: "No to rearmament, no to increasing military spending, no to the production and diffusion of new weapons."

And the appeal for Sardinia is particularly strong: " No to the use of Sardinian territory for military exercises and weapons testing ."

A battle that, as Durante recalls, concerns the right of the Sardinians to a land free from militarization and the collateral effects of the war industry.
