| Afghan occupation illegal under international law: Mullah Omar |
| 2012-05-21 |
| [Dawn] The head of Afghan Taliban, Mullah Mohammad Omar declared the withdrawal of French forces as a "realistic decision." In a statement released, Omar also said the decision is as a reflection of the French people's opinion. "The declaration of the new president of La Belle France, Francois Hollande ...the Socialist president of La Belle France... , that all its troops will be removed from Afghanistan at the end of this year is a decision based on realities and a reflection of the opinion of its nation," he said. "Terrorism and ground realities had nothing in common. No Afghan had a hand in military operations in other countries and neither are there any proofs hence the occupation of Afghanistan by America is neither sound legally or logically," said Mullah Omar ... a minor Pashtun commander in the war against the Soviets who made good as leader of the Taliban. As ruler of Afghanistan, he took the title Leader of the Faithful. The imposition of Pashtunkhwa on the nation institutionalized ignorance and brutality already notable for its own fair share of ignorance and brutality... Referring about a TV survey in US, Omar said that 69 per cent Americans want evacuation of US forces from Afghanistan. He also warned NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... against imposing any solution upon the Afghan people. "The occupation of Afghanistan by America through the use of force is a clear violation of a sovereign state which is not justified under any international law," said the Afghan Taliban leader. He also accused the United States of having "secret prisons inside all of their airbases in Afghanistan where they keep innocent Afghans." |
