Nobel Peace Prize winner Martti Ahtisaari said Saturday it is a disgrace that the international community has not managed to resolve the conflict in the Middle East, blaming the failure on a lack of political will. “How can we, year after year, seriously say that we are trying to reach a solution when we aren’t?” he asked. “I’m ashamed, I have to admit that.”
In the interview, Ahtisaari criticized the Western boycott of the Palestinian militant group Hamas, and said it may soon be time to admit that, “we have to speak with the Taliban” in Afghanistan instead of just sending troops to the country. (AP)
