In Afghanistan, nothing is ever what it seems. Including surrender.
On Nov. 24, a bright, warm Saturday, 300 Taliban soldiers who had fled the American bombardment of Kunduz, their last stronghold in the north of Afghanistan, laid down their weapons in the desert a few miles to the north of Mazar-i-Sharif. They surrendered to Northern Alliance General Abdul Rashid Dostum, who crowed that his forces had achieved a "great victory" as the POWs were herded 50 at a time onto flatbed trucks.
Even by the standards of Afghanistan's warlords, Dostum has an unsavory reputation; in earlier episodes of Afghanistan's wars, he was reputed to have killed those of his soldiers who broke the rules by tying them to the tracks of his tanks. But outside Mazar, his soldiers told their prisoners that Dostum wanted to make a gesture of reconciliation to help unite Afghanistan's warring tribes. Afghan members of the Taliban would be free to return to their homes, while foreigners would be detained before being handed over to the U.N. Dostum didn't search his prisoners; that was a mistake, one he would bitterly regret. "If we had searched them, there would have been a fight," he said Wednesday, surveying hundreds of dismembered, blackened and crushed bodies. "But perhaps it wouldn't have been as bad as this." 0085名無しさん@英語勉強中 (ワッチョイ a76c-rvE3)2021/01/26(火) 04:19:45.08ID:MvqHlUX40 誤爆した 0086名無しさん@英語勉強中 (テテンテンテン MM3e-oBjd)2021/02/04(木) 17:25:49.15ID:LHmHgvXfM q 0087名無しさん@英語勉強中 (ワッチョイW 57f3-3crp)2021/02/05(金) 22:21:23.41ID:fA77hPR30 b 0088名無しさん@英語勉強中 (ワッチョイW 575c-3crp)2021/02/06(土) 22:41:20.05ID:4tamYVyz0 v 0089名無しさん@英語勉強中 (テテンテンテン MMde-HsOz)2021/02/15(月) 14:47:49.85ID:s0vuCWhHM w 0090名無しさん@英語勉強中 (テテンテンテン MMde-HsOz)2021/02/15(月) 15:21:41.86ID:s0vuCWhHM w 0091名無しさん@英語勉強中 (ワッチョイW be29-mLjW)2021/05/08(土) 18:07:31.02ID:F09LTgHL0 こいつ三年どころか何年も英語板荒らしまくるゴミだな こんなスレあるとか余程悪質なこと長年やってきたんだろうな 0092名無しさん@英語勉強中 (スププ Sd7f-+uUc)2022/09/08(木) 01:02:00.94ID:xdF8VfbDd ウザい事この上なし 0093名無しさん@英語勉強中 (ワッチョイ e92d-Y/ct)2022/10/26(水) 18:11:23.33ID:FORsBGGs0 三年? 0094名無しさん@英語勉強中 (ワッチョイ ae35-j5lI)2024/01/02(火) 13:52:24.94ID:3/ymiFR60 日本のお正月
