KABUL: Afghanistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement has said a U.S. soldier has abducted a minor girl, whose family had been killed in the bombardment of U.S. forces in Afghanistan. The Islamic Emirate (IEA) is making effort to seek safe and early release of the girl.
According to the MoFA statement, the IEA has received information that a U.S. marine soldier Joshua Mast had abducted an Afghan girl in Virginia in the U.S. He had been keeping her as his family member. The family members of this girl had been killed in the bombardment of U.S. forces in Afghanistan. The U.S. soldier had separated this girl from her relatives. Expressing concern over the matter, the foreign ministry said that the issue would be taken up with the U.S. officials to ensure that the girl was returned to her family.
“The U.S. and its allies have taken thousands of Afghan people out of Afghanistan. They have been kept in various camps without a clear future,” MoFA said, calling on the respective countries to provide human and legal rights to the Afghan refugees as per the international laws.
