...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
released its latest report on civilian casualties in Afghanistan which documents up to 10,400 civilian deaths and injuries during the year 2019.
The UN Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in a statement said "The new report documents 3,403 civilians killed and 6,989 injured, with the majority of the civilian casualties inflicted by anti-government elements."
UNAMA further added "It is the sixth year in a row that the number of civilian casualties has exceeded 10,000."
"The figures outlined in the new report ‐ released jointly by UNAMA and the UN Human Rights Office ‐ represent a five per cent decrease over the previous year, mainly due to a decrease in civilian casualties caused by Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and the Levant ‐ Khorasan Province (ISIS-KP)," the report stated.
It also added "Civilian casualties caused by the other parties increased, particularly by the Taliban
...Arabic for students ...
(21 per cent increase) and the international military forces (18 per cent increase), mainly due to an increase in improvised bomb attacks and Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM! ...
