Defence Minister Morin to Prasquier: France will not give up its mission in Afghanistan

“I wish to thank you for this expression of your support which will be a comfort for the families of our soldiers, and for the wounded and their fellow soldiers involved in this difficult fight against terrorism in Afghanistan,” wrote Hervé Morin, adding that “France does not intend to give up its mission in this part of the world.” The 8th Marine Infantry Paratroop Regiment, who lost ten [NdT. If I’m not mistaken it was 8 + 2 from two other regiments] soldiers, has also written to CRIF: “The Regiment, deeply affected by this cruel fate, is reacting magnificently as it always has… with modesty, dignity and honour.”
