Please wear a black arm-band for the next week to express your > solidarity with these students and to raise awareness about the plight of > Afghanis under the new Karzai regime in Kabul. The police that fired on > students WERE TRAINED BY GERMAN SECURITY FORCES and other "international" > forces (possibly Canadian, considering Canada specializes in training of > local police forces in "post-conflict" situations such as Haiti, East Timor, > Kosovo, etc. and is present in Kabul).
