A French aid worker named Eric Damfreville is being held hostage by the Taliban. Another French aid worker only identified as Salma is also being held hostage.

These hostages have families and friends. Please do not forget them. The media has. They have names. We are the only news outlet in the world that has named Eric Damfreville. I have no idea why.

Damfreville is a humanitarian, a child welfare activist, an educator, and a blogger. He was in rural Afghanistan educating and helping children recover from 20 years of war. Do not forget him.

His name is Eric Damfreville. His name is Eric Damfreville.

With the Taliban beheading hostage Adjmal Nakshbandi, and threatening the same to an Afghan hostage identified as Dr. Khalilullah, it is important to recognize the barbarity of the enemy we fight and never to forget the innocent who they deliberately murder.
