Afghanistan war

Today is "World Humanitarian Day." On this day, CASC has prepared a translation from Dari of an important declaration issued by a broad cross-section of Afghan democrats, below:

Fear and panic has arisen as the Taliban shows itself in Badakhshan, one of the most secure provinces in Afghanistan. While an unjust and inhuman action like the murder of these aid workers should be condemned in any part of the world, this is a particularly disgrace to the great and wise people of Badakshan, who are world-renowned for their culture and customs, and do not deserve to be associated with this ferocity.

Once more, innocents have been murdered in Kabul by Taliban suicide bombers.  Up to nine Indians, an Italian diplomat and a French film maker were killed, according to the Telegraph.

Our hearts go out to the victims and their families. We stand in solidarity with you.
