South Korea has reached a deal with the Taliban: Taliban: Korean hostages to be released.
The “deal?” Complete surrender by South Korea.
SEOUL, South Korea (CNN) — South Korean negotiators in Afghanistan have reached a deal with Taliban militants holding 19 South Korean Christian aid workers for over a month, a presidential spokesman in Seoul said Tuesday.
The group of South Koreans was kidnapped in Ghazni province on July 19. Seoul welcomes the deal, but spokesman Cheon Ho-sun cautioned that many details must still be worked out and the aid workers will not be released immediately.
Under the terms of the agreement, South Korea agreed to stick by its previous decision to withdraw its 200 non-combat troops from Afghanistan, which work mostly in an engineering and medical capacity.
In addition, Seoul will halt all Christian missionary work in Afghanistan.
Thereby guaranteeing that the Taliban will continue to kidnap and murder foreigners. Why shouldn’t they? It’s obviously achieving their goals.
