EFL & Shame
The U.N. refugee agency began cowering pulling foreign staff out of large swaths of southern and eastern Afghanistan on Tuesday in the wake of the killing of a French worker, a decision that could affect tens of thousands of Afghan returnees.
Courage.
Some 30 foreign staff members were being withdrawn like candyasses, and refugee centers in the Afghan provinces of Nangarhar, Paktia, Khost and Kandahar were being closed, said Filippo Grandi, the chief of mission in Afghanistan with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
Bravery.
"We are taking today a painful decision to temporarily abandon anybody who actually needs us reduce staff in the eastern and southern province," said Grandi. "We will review the situation after two weeks."
