The anger of the founder of Emergency, "no protest from the embassy staff stopped"
uncomfortable because we denounce the killing of civilians is a dirty maneuver to move away
Road: "They want to
send us away and the government remains silent "
Gino Road
ROME - "This is a dirty and dark maneuvers. But what is most shocking is that Italy eight years has troops in Afghanistan to support a government that moves charges against Italian doctors and arrest them and there is a line of commentary, a pinch position, a request for immediate release or a note of protest from the Italian diplomacy. "Gino Strada tries to keep the anger at the accusations" absurd "move against the Italian players were arrested yesterday in the emergency hospital in Lashkar Gah, but can not. Even more, "with everything that the organization does for years for the Afghan people," the perplexed silence of the Italian government.
Road, you have managed to clarify the dynamics of the arrest?
"There are about eight hours that we know nothing of our staff and that no one can contact him. There is the usual rebound of responsibility. ISAF commanders who had previously said it had coordinated the operation now tell us that they have no power to intervene because it's all in the hands of Afghan forces and urge us to turn to them. "
Yet the phone to one of three Italian operators have arrested a British military said.
" All the more reason. If you are involved, we do talk to our doctors or to allow the International Red Cross to go to see them. "
The governor of Helmand province said that the staff of Emergency would have planned an assassination attempt against him financed by Taliban. How to comment on the accusations?
"Accusing a doctor in charge of projects of Emergency, which also has spent years of his life to save lives in Afghanistan, having been paid by the Taliban to prepare a plot to assassinate the governor is like saying that the President of the Italian Republic has been caught stealing in a toy store. "
hospital but were found explosives and weapons.
"The possibility that explosives were found could not be excluded a priori. If I wanted I could bring in any explosives Italian hospital and then call the police. Some of the Afghan staff can certainly bring them. What does it take to bribe someone? But from there to endorse the idea that somehow the Italian doctors may be the leaders of this conspiracy seems to me something that goes beyond the thinkable ".
The search was due to a tip-off. You are able to learn more?
" It is not clear anything except why. Emergency really wish to remove from the area since for years it was the only western presence and still is the only Italian. Why is it uncomfortable. Why did he say that there are massacring civilians, which has prevented civilians from reaching hospitals etc ".
So the plot is not of Italian operators to the detriment of local government, but the local government to the detriment of Emergency?
"I see no other possible interpretation in terms of logic."
