Afghanistan: Taliban warned against targeting former security forces
BBC News ^ | December 5, 2021

Posted on 12/05/2021 3:00:58 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

The US and a host of allied countries have called on the Taliban to end the targeted killings of former members of Afghan security forces.

In a joint statement, the 22 nations demanded that the Islamist regime respect its pledge not to harm former government or security personnel.

"We are deeply concerned by reports of summary killings and enforced disappearances", the statement says.

It follows a damning report on killings and abductions by the Islamist regime.

Released by the Human Rights Watch earlier this week, the report documented more than 100 executions and abductions of former Afghan government officials since the Taliban took control of the country almost four months ago.

It also documented the murder of 47 members of the Afghan security forces who surrendered to, or were captured by, the Taliban between 15 August and 31 October.

The short joint statement was issued by the US and signed by the UK, European Union and a further 19 countries. It outlined their deep concerns over the report's findings and called on all cases of extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances to be fully investigated.

Progressives stamp feet and threaten to send a strong letter.

meanwhile men and women loyal to the West and the US efforts inAfghanistan are being hunted down and slaughtered.Humg from power poles in the street in some cases.

The Taliban undersyands only one thing....force.

And these progressive weenies refuse to use it.

There deep concerns are not very deep.

Best get used to it. It’s not going to change anytime soon.

We would launch air-strikes from Bagram airbase.

Wait, um, we gave that up. Never mind.
