Lecturers Protest Prince Henry's Remarks on Afghanistan

"The cruelties which have been committed by Prince Harry, his friends or by anyone else in Helmand or anywhere in Afghanistan is unacceptable, are cruel. These acts will be remembered by history,” said Sayed Ahmad Sayedi was quoted by the Associated Press.

The media director for the Taliban governor of Helmand, Mawlavi Mohammad Qasim, said Harry’s claims in his memoirs “exposed the real face of the Western world.”

“It is a clear indication of their cruel and horrific actions,” he saidThe residents of Helmand meanwhile called for Prince Harry to be brought to justice.

“We ask the international community to put this person (Prince Harry) on trial, and we should get compensation for our losses,” said Mullah Abdullah, who lost four family members in what he described as a U.K. airstrike in 2011 that hit his family home in the Nahr-e-Saraj area of Helmand, as he was quoted by the AP.

In his memoir, “Spare,” Harry says he killed more than two dozen "Taliban militants" while serving as an Apache helicopter copilot gunner in Afghanistan in 2012-2013.

He writes that he feels neither satisfaction nor shame about his actions, and in the heat of battle regarded enemy combatants as pieces being removed from a chessboard, “Baddies eliminated before they could kill Goodies,” the prince writes.
