Anas Haqqani, a senior member of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, has criticized Prince Harry's disclosure that he killed at least 25 people during his two military deployments in Afghanistan.

“Mr. Harry! The ones you killed were not chess pieces, they were humans; they had families who were waiting for their return. Among the killers of Afghans, not many have your decency to reveal their conscience and confess to their war crimes,” Haqqani wrote on Twitter.

“The truth is what you’ve said; Our innocent people were chess pieces to your soldiers, military and political leaders. Still, you were defeated in that ‘game’ of white & black ‘square’,” Haqqani said.

Haqqani added: “I don't expect that the ICC will summon you or the human rights activists will condemn you, because they are deaf and blind for you. But hopefully, these atrocities will be remembered in the history of humanity.”

Harry revealed in his memoir “Spare” that he flew on six missions that resulted in him killing 25 Taliban members, whom he did not view as people but instead as chess pieces that had been taken off the board. He added that "It's not a number that gave me any satisfaction. But neither was it a number that made me feel ashamed.” (ILKHA)
