This is because of politics, which reared their ugly head last year, when the Mobe cancelled their protests.

Some of the NGOs don't want to see their work tied in with anti-war activism. This isn't an oversight, it's deliberate policy.

However, the nonprofessional activists in the Mobe did want to talk about the war.

At least, that's my take on it.
