The authorities have lost their credibility completely. They have fallen victims to severe internal disputes and seem hopeless and worried.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">&#8220;The foreign forces have failed and the situation is worsening day by day. We might face a dreadful situation after 2014, which no one could have anticipated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">&#8220;All Afghan groups should agree on the complete withdrawal of all foreign troops by 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">&#8220;Then a free and fair election should be held.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">&#8220;We will accept the government of whichever party is voted by the majority of the Afghan people.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">The leader said education was as necessary for girls as for boys, but just that they are not taught together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">He added: &#8220;Before the withdrawal of invading forces the Mujahideen would like to witness with their own eyes a scene that will teach the invaders to never think of coming this way again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">&#8220;And also the others who have bad intentions and are waiting to invade Afghanistan.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: &#8220;The suggestion that any member of the UK armed forces deployed on operations operates under the influence of alcohol is simply absurd &#8211; not least because the consumption of alcohol by UK military personnel is not permitted under any circumstances while deployed in Afghanistan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">&#8220;UK troops are deployed and remain in Afghanistan to protect our national security by removing what was a safe haven for international terrorism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">&#8220;Now, it is Afghan forces that now have lead security responsibility for around 75% of the population in the country and lead up to 80% of conventional partnered operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">&#8220;It is this sort of progress that has allowed almost 60% of UK bases in Helmand to be shut or handed over and will allow us to leave a stronger more secure Afghanistan when combat operations cease by the end of 2014.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\"><em>PA<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#0000ff;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/uk\/home-news\/prince-harry-kills-innocent-afghans-while-he-is-drunk-says-mujahideen-leader-8435314.html\"><span style=\"color:#0000ff;\">Fuente<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by ELLEN BRANAGH Prince Harry \u201ckills innocent Afghans while he is drunk\u201d, while foreign forces in Afghanistan have failed, a controversial Mujahideen leader in the..<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":38211,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,84,189],"tags":[295,197,226,345,287],"class_list":["post-16166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international","category-statements","category-us-military","tag-afghanistan","tag-imperialism","tag-imperialist-war","tag-reactionary-watch","tag-united-kingdom"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/redphoenix.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/princeharrykillsafghans.jpg?fit=1039%2C761&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16166"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16166\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
