RI stance stuns Afghan immigrant<\/p>\n
MATARAM, West Nusa Tenggara: An Afghan immigrant accommodated
\nover the last few months on Sumbawa island, identified only as
\nAhmad, said he was shocked to see the stance and spirit of
\ncertain Indonesians for their insistence to wage a holy war in
\nAfghanistan.<\/p>\n
\"I myself ran away from that country, why are Indonesians
\neager to go there?\" Ahmad asked as quoted by the head of Sumbawa
\npolice precinct Adj. Sr. Comr. Setiadi on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Setiadi said that Ahmad's remarks were made after observing
\nreports from both television and print media.<\/p>\n
Why Indonesians are so enthusiastic to support Afghanistan,
\nwhile people there, including Ahmad, have been forced to leave
\nthe country as they cannot bear the brutality of the Taliban is
\nalso one of the questions he was pondering.<\/p>\n
Ahmad wanted to remind those intending to go to Afghanistan to
\nthink twice before deciding their choice, Setiadi said.<\/p>\n
Ahmad is an Afghan asylum-seeker currently being housed at a
\nhotel in Sumbawa, and waiting for further processing by the
\nUnited Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to go to a Western
\ncountry. -- Antara<\/p>",
