UNAMA - Statements Attributable to Spokesman

The Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) for Afghanistan, Mr. Jean Arnault, is shocked at the brutal slaying on Monday evening (26 April) of two Afghan employees of the non-governmental organization (NGO) Coordination of Humanitarian Assistance (CHA) in the Panjwayi district of southern Kandahar.

The Special Representative strongly condemns yet another tragic and unacceptable act directed at the aid community in Afghanistan. This and other recent attacks in Kandahar urgently point towards the need to make more forces available to the provincial authorities in order to enable them to uphold the law and facilitate the expansion of reconstruction.

The SRSG expresses his deepest sympathies to the family and friends of the victims.
