Mohammad Nasim, uncle of Zamari Ahmadi, a humanitarian worker who was the victim of a US drone strike, said he could not accept an apology from the US.
“This is unacceptable to us. The US must recognize it as a war crime,” Nasim said in a statement, as reported by Anadolu Agency on Sunday (19/9/2021).
“Since the drone strike, the US has failed to contact the family and has temporarily issued an apology. Those who died cannot return, and accepting the blame is unacceptable.”
He urged the international community to hold those responsible for killing innocent people accountable under international law. Also read: Missiles Kill 10 Innocents in Kabul, Why Isn’t US Punished?
Romal Ahmadi, who lost his three children, including a nursing baby, as well as his brother in the attack, also said he could not accept the US apology.
“The US kills innocent people and they should come to me, and apologize and offer condolences,” he said.
Meanwhile, the head of US Central Command, Frank McKenzie, said it was “exploring the possibility” of making reparations payments to families of victims of the attack.
