Doctors Without Borders pulling out of Afghanistan
2004-07-28
Doctors Without Borders announced Wednesday that the killings of five of its staff members and the danger of further attacks has prompted the international medical relief agency to pull out of Afghanistan. The group, also known as Medecins Sans Frontieres, said it was unhappy with the investigation into the June 2 killings. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack. Police arrested ten people over the killings but the MSF said the Afghan government failed to conduct a "credible investigation." The relief organization also blamed the U.S.-led forces of using humanitarian aid for "political and military motives", but refused to elaborate. "Today's context is rendering independent humanitarian aid for the Afghan people all but impossible," the agency said in a statement. A spokesperson for the group said they would provide more details about their decision on Thursday.
Um, Medecins Sans Frontieres, that's French, right?
