UNAMI declares 3383 Iraqis killed – wounded in violence events of last February
2015-03-02
[IraqiNews] The former Special Reresentative of the UN's Secretary General, Nickoly Mladenov, stated that 3383 Iraqi people were killed in February.
A number that is, at best, hypothetical, pending the exhumation of any mass graves lying about that will subsequently be attributed to the period in question. Ditto for non-mass graves.
The number of civilians killed was 611 (Including 30 civilian police), and the number of civilians injured was 1,353 (including 29 civilian police). "I therefore welcome the consistent calls for unity by the President, the Prime Minister and the Speaker of Parliament. Any effort to achieve unity through reconciliation must be based on the Constitution and the full participation of political, religious and community leaders from across Iraq," the SRSG further stated.
The reconciliation negotiation goes something like this:

ISIS Representative: Surrender or die, infidels!

Gov't Minister for Negotiation and Reconciliation: You'll understand that we can't possibly do that, though we're certainly willing to discuss things while we train for the next step.

Kurdish Colonel (female): Seriously, guys?! *BANG BANG* Hah -- two to the center of mass, as always! Hopefully their next negotiator will be more sensible.
