Human Rights Watch: New Afghan Defense Minister Should Face Investigation, Sanctions

Excerpts:

• Credible evidence of serious human rights abuses and war crimes linked to Khalid have followed him throughout his government career. Reports first came to light during Khalid’s tenure as governor of Kandahar – a time when thousands of Canadian troops were based in the province. An official internal Canadian document described the allegations of human rights abuses attributable to Khalid as “numerous and consistent.” Canadian diplomat Richard Colvin testified to a Canadian parliamentary commission in 2009 that Khalid perpetrated enforced disappearances and held people in private prisons. The testimony included evidence of Khalid’s personal involvement in the torture of detainees. Chris Alexander, a senior Canadian official working with the United Nations in Afghanistan at the time, alleged that Khalid ordered the killing of five UN workers in a roadside bombing in Kandahar in April 2007.

• There is also strong evidence directly implicating Khalid in acts of sexual violence against women and girls when he was governor of Ghazni and Kandahar. Khalid allegedly threatened his victims, saying “they would be killed and their families destroyed if they told anyone what had happened.”

• Ghani’s opportunistic and callous move in appointing Khalid appears aimed to score short-term gains in the upcoming presidential election. Khalid had enjoyed the protection of former President Hamid Karzai; in 2009 a US official described Khalid as a “bag man” for the role he played buying votes for Karzai’s 2009 re-election effort.

War lord composed government has war Lords which have committed war crimes. What a shocking revelations.

the afghan military and government is filled such characters which makes dealing with them all the more harder since a war lord is in the business of war whether state level or simply village level and they will always promote an atmosphere or conflict and myopic view of hammering solutions...

Such appointments is why we should double our security on the western border. Fence building should be completed as soon as possible with security units raised to guard it. Visa policies and merger of FATA were great positives...

We see how their governor's lack diplomatic conduct when they storm our consulates and refuse to provide security to our embassies.. Remember the very arrogant tone of the governor who justifies his actions of breaking diplomatic conduct
