". – In relation to this question the most important supplementary aspect here is: who is stopping us? Obviously we are being stopped in this effort by those who are causing the problems and who are responsible for the conflicts. The conflicts we are facing today are conflicts where the civil population is not detached from the conflict. On the contrary, they are more than hostages; they are victims. This means that nobody fights an honourable war and the guilt of having abducted children and made them participants in the warfare is psychologically the main reason why it is so difficult to get the truth.
The environment is difficult, politically, and in every other sense of the word. A free press does not have easy access to the places on the earth where these things happen. Next week I will be in Afghanistan to show our support for the organisations we are funding there and who have volunteers working there. The visit will also show the people of Afghanistan and the victims of the conflict that we are taking more than just a political interest. We are taking a real, tangible, humanitarian interest. By doing what we are doing we may also be pushing the limit for what is possible."@en1
