He went to Afghanistan? In 2022? After the military had evacuated in 2021? Our government left how many American civilians in Afghanistan upon the military's exit in 2021? How many American civilians are still hiding in Afghanistan? And how many American soldiers were killed in Afghanistan upon the exit of the military?
And her husband went back to Afghanistan in 2022? AND SHE'S SURPRISED?????
You poor woman...praying
The Taliban are killing people in Afghanistan - but they are NOT systematically hunting down their former enemies as Mr. Sopko claims. Following Afghan custom, the Taliban granted amnesty to their former enemies after they took Kabul. They have, with few exceptions, been good to their word. Everyone had expected a bloodbath, but it never happened. As Sopko mentioned, UNAMA's experienced team of civilian casualty researchers, the ones who used to research civilian deaths caused by both sides during the war, continued to track killings after the Taliban took Kabul. This August, they reported their findings in “A barrier to securing peace: Human rights violations against former government officials and former armed force members in Afghanistan: 15 August 2021 - 30 June 2023”. (UNAMA published it on its site as a PDF. Look at the PDF itself, not just the UN’s press release summary of it).
The report states that: "UNAMA has documented at least 218 extrajudicial killings of former government officials and ANDSF members since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan," and "UNAMA has documented at least 14 instances of enforced disappearance of former government officials and ANDSF members". The researchers could rarely determine who killed any particular person, or when a killing by a Talib was sanctioned by the government or was a personal act of revenge. But let’s assume that the Taliban did all of the killing, on orders from above.
So 232, most of them in the months right after the collapse of the old regime, and after a long, ugly, fratricidal war in which both sides committed many horrible crimes, in a culture renowned for taking revenge.
Is that a lot? Over 1.5 million Afghans served in the Republic’s government and military over the course of the war. 232 out of 1.5 million is 0.015%. Covid, at its most lethal, killed at over ten times that rate: 0.2%. The French, with a 40 million population in 1945, killed over 10,000 collaborators.
If the Taliban are hunting down their former enemies, they are doing a damned poor job of it.
He’s my fav during these oversight hearing just an honest broker
Im sorry but why do so many people take these risks in countries like Afghanistan?
It often goes wrong then you want people to come save you, which means more risk or forfeiting something. It’s so frustrating that people never learn.
USAID did a great work to promote women rights and girls education as well improve rule of law.
