Taliban leaders: free
the hostages
The Afghanistan
hostage situation involving the South Korean aid workers being held by the
Taliban, is spiraling out of control. If any more are killed, it could force aid
agencies to pull out of Afghanistan — denying millions of Afghanis the help they
need after years of war.
The Taliban
are guided by the Afghan Pashtunwali code, a principle that requires
“hospitality to all, especially guests and strangers”
– and this kidnapping is a clear violation of the code, offending
the weary people of Afghanistan on whom they depend. So it’s time
for the global community to stand with Afghanis and South Koreans, demand
that the Taliban to honour their code and release the rest of the hostages.
