The contested finding therefore lacks a conclusive reason why there is no persecution relevant to asylum, in the absence of a discussion of the dangers that threaten the complainant due to the attempted forced recruitment, which has been found to be credible. Likewise, in connection with the examination of the requirements for the granting of the status of subsidiary protection, there is no comprehensible reason for the statement that the complainant is not at risk from the Taliban in Mazar-e Sharif and that a return there is safe and reasonable while the UNHCR guidelines basically assume that there is no internal flight alternative in Afghanistan for people who are persecuted by the Taliban

Pues bien, considerando todas las circunstancias anteriores, concluimos que la menor solicitante de protección internacional, se encuentra en situación de necesidad de dicha protección, en la forma de protección del artículo 3 de la Ley 12/2009 , pues nos consta que, dada la situación que actualmente vive Honduras y su situación personal, el menor se encuentra en peligro de riesgo grave para su vida e integridad física proveniente de la persecución a que la Mara Salvatrucha somete a su familia. Esta persecución se produce particularmente sobre la persona del menor solicitante de asilo, por actos de desobediencia realizados por miembros de su familia, además del peligro genérico que implica encontrarse en el ámbito geográfico de actuación de una mara.
