A senior Taliban aide, Anas Haqqani expressed his anger over Harry\u2019s claims and said those who were killed were humans not chess pieces.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Harry! The ones you killed were not chess pieces, they were humans; they had families who were waiting for their return. Among the killers of Afghans, not many have your decency to reveal their conscience and confess to their war crimes,\u201d Haqqani said.<\/p>\n

Senior Taliban aide, Anas Haqqani<\/p><\/div>\n
The truth is what you\u2019ve said, Haqqani furthered, adding \u201cOur innocent people were chess pieces to your soldiers, military and political leaders. Still, you were defeated in that (game) of white and black (square).<\/p>\n
Haqqani said that he doesn\u2019t expect that the Intentional Criminal Court will summon Harry or the human rights activists will condemn his action, because they are \u201cdeaf and blind\u201d to Harry\u2019s case.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut hopefully these atrocities will be remembered in the history of humanity,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Harici, a top Taliban official anonymously said that it is not the fault of \u201cPrince Harry\u201d, killing of innocent Afghan is the nature of the UK’s government and its soldiers.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour fathers were here in Afghanistan in 1839, 1878, then in 1919 for killing and colonizing us. You have walked on the same path and have done nothing strange,\u201d the official said, referring to Harry\u2019s claim he killed 25 people.<\/p>\n
The official added that Harry\u2019s confession has revealed his real dynastic nature, which is covered under the \u201cdeceptive slogans of humanity and nonsense anti terror war.\u201d<\/p>\n
During their 20 years of presence, the foreign troops in general were responsible for the killing of thousands of innocent people, children, and women in Afghanistan, he added.<\/p>\n
Harry needs to see a psychiatrist<\/strong><\/p>\n While Mr. Harry is trying level best to show that he isn’t going through any mental illness, but still he needs to go to a psychiatrist, an Afghan expert said. \u201cKilling innocent people and calling them chess pieces is not the work of a normal human being,\u201d Obaidullah Basir said.<\/p>\n \u201cBeing happy to kill people without verification or a single check if they are terrorists or civilians, itself indicates an illness of cruelty and inhumanity,\u201d the expert said.<\/p>\n \u201cPersonnel and family dispute and other complexity could definitely affect mental health and Mr. Harry has experienced this,\u201d Dr. Matin Royeen, an Afghan-American peace educator told Harici.<\/p>\n Dr. Royeen said that Harry was very young when he lost his mother in a traffic accident and apart from this tragedy, Harry also grew up in the royal family where disputes among his parents were frequent. \u201cHarry had risen in a dysfunctional family and this has affected him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Harry has yet to find himself and he also feels abandoned by the royal family and now he wants to end its relation with the royal family forever.<\/p>\n Of course, when Harry returns to the battleground with such a mentality, he sees everyone as the enemy.<\/p>\n In the bigger picture, soldiers from any country, no matter from the US, UK, or others, view the people as an enemy in the battleground. \u201cTo justify their act, the soldiers kill people like they are trees, or chairs and on the battlefield they don\u2019t have any human emotion and they see humans as an enemy that must be eliminated,\u201d Dr. Royeen added.<\/p>\n Harry committed war crimes<\/strong><\/p>\n Taliban Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Abdul Qahar Balkhi criticized Harry for his comments and said that the western occupation of Afghanistan is truly an odious moment in human history.<\/p>\n Prince Harry in a Spartan armoured vehicle in Helmand province, southern Afghanistan, in 2008<\/p><\/div>\n Balkhi furthered that comments by Prince Harry are a microcosm of the trauma experienced by the Afghans in the past two decades at the hands of occupied forces. \u201cThese invaders have killed a number of innocent people and went out without any accountability,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Harry\u2019s confession of killing people is a \u201csmall example\u201d of humanitarian crimes committed by foreign troops in Afghanistan, said the Deputy Spokesman of Taliban, Bilal Karimi.<\/p>\n Several such incidents happened in different parts of the country and the troops of every \u201coccupied country\u201d had a history of \u201cbrutal past\u201d, according to Karimi.<\/p>\n A former British Army commander in Afghanistan, Colonel Richard Kemp, said that Harry\u2019s remarks undermine the good work he did.<\/p>\n Kemp said that Harry is indirectly suggesting the British Army trains \u201cpeople, including him,\u201d not to see the enemy as human beings, which is very far from the truth\u201d.<\/p>\n Harry has served two tours in Afghanistan. His first tour was from 2007 to 2008 and the second from 2012 to 2013 and the British troops were mostly stationed in the south of Afghanistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Taliban has denounced UK\u2019s Prince Harry for his admission of killing 25 people while on military duty in Afghanistan.
