Argentinian President criticises Western IS policy at UN
29 September 2014 15:13 BST
Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, President of Argentina, criticised the past action of Western governments in funding terrorism at the UN.
"Where do ISIS and Al-Qaeda take their guns from? Yesterday’s freedom fighters are today’s terrorists," she told the assembly.
“The way in which we’ve been fighting terrorism has not been up to the job. Something is not working.”
She referenced US training of mujahideen in Afghanistan in the 80's and said "the only thing cannibals can’t do is eat themselves.”
“The situation in the Middle East is getting more and more complicated.”
Iranian state-TV channel PressTV accused the "media" of censoring her speech.
