Just Don't Call It A Militia


Impunity, Militias, and the “Afghan Local Police”

This report documents serious abuses, such as killings, rape, arbitrary detention, abductions, forcible land grabs, and illegal raids by irregular armed groups in northern Kunduz province and the Afghan Local Police (ALP) force in Baghlan, Herat, and Uruzgan provinces. The Afghan government has failed to hold these forces to account, fostering future abuses and generating support for the Taliban and other opposition forces, Human Rights Watch found.

  1. So many 'reports'.
    Still no accountability.
    Wonder what would happen in Afghanistan if they had a locust attack on the poppy fields?
    Air America would be idle. :-)
