Taliban congratulates to its forces on ‘defeat’ of Canadians in Afghanistan | Toronto Star:
"The Taliban’s information arm issued a statement Thursday to followers in Kandahar congratulating its fighters in the rural districts of Panjwaii, Zharey, Dand, Maiwand and Shah Wali Kot claiming that Canada has been defeated and has now fled the country.
“Your sacrifices have brought us freedom. The beacons of your blood have lit the way to independence. Celebrate the victory and freedom from the Canadians,” said the statement, written in Pashtu, but translated for The Canadian Press.
It said that the Canadians followed Holland, Denmark, Australian, Poland, and Spain in “retreat and failure.” Those nations have also begun withdrawing their forces from the International Security Assistance Force mission run by NATO."
