      Vredesactie closes down the Ministry of Defence.

        Belgium is at war. The country is involved in several military operations worldwide.

        The Belgian minister of Defence has dragged us into the war in Afghanistan and wants to engage the army more actively in military operations worldwide.That's why the peace movement Vredesactie has closed down the Ministry of Defence today. The activists are demanding that the Belgian government puts an end to the military presence in Afghanistan.
