How Did The Taliban Respond?
A senior Taliban Anas Haqqani wrote on Twitter, “Mr. Harry! The ones you killed were not chess pieces, they were humans; they had families who were waiting for their return. Among the killers of Afghans, not many have the decency to reveal their conscience and confess to their war crimes.”
He said that he expects nothing from the International Criminal Court (ICC) because they are deaf and blind to the Prince. He hopes that people will take into account such atrocities and that the history of humanity will always remember this.
The spokesperson for the Taliban-led Afghan foreign affairs ministry, Abdul Qahar Balkhi also responded, “The western occupation of Afghanistan is truly an odious moment in human history. Comments by Prince Harry is a microcosm of the trauma experienced by Afghans at the hands of occupation forces who murdered innocents without any accountability.”
