VIDC: Afghanistan: Six months after the disaster. Interview with Horia Mosadiq

Описание: "I believe that the Taliban are trying to use the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan as a tool to put pressure on the international community to recognise them, but I don't think that should be the case. I think that the international community should put conditionality on such aid and go through the roots of the UN and NGOs instead of the government.” Interview with Horia Mosadiq, Afghan human rights activist, London
