‘Afghaanse dodenlijsten’

Een gewelddadige erfenis en een blik op de toekomst van Afghanistan

te Nieuwspoort, Den Haag op 11 maart 2014

Geachte redactie,

Na de bloedige staatsgreep van april 1978, voerde de Democratie Volkspartij Afghanistan vooral in de jaren 1978 en 1979 een schrikbewind in Afghanistan. Dagelijks werden honderden burgers systematisch opgepakt en naar de gevangenis Pul-e-Charkhi en tientallen andere verhoor- en martelcentra van de geheime dienst gedetineerd. Na een paar dagen marteling, werden de gedetineerden in militaire polygoon van Kabul zonder enige vorm van proces geëxecuteerd. Op deze wijze verdwenen tienduizenden Afghaanse burgers spoorloos.

A group of angry Afghan villagers have got the Taliban scrambling after they mounted an unlikely rebellion against the insurgents in eastern Afghanistan -- and won.

Remarkably, the poorly-armed tribesmen, calling themselves the National Uprising Movement (NUM), have inflicted heavy casualties on the Taliban and succeeded in driving them out from scores of villages and several districts of Ghazni Province, a long-established militant stronghold.

The uprising, which has fed on the popular discontent with the Taliban’s brutal rule, has put the militants in an uncomfortable situation.
