| [ToloNews] Government figures show that almost 45,000 members of Afghan National Defense and Security Forces bit the dust in the past four years under the National Unity Government. Meanwhile, ...back at the the conspirators' cleverly concealed hideout Montefiore's foot was still stuck and the hound had completely soaked his uniform with slobber... festivities have intensified in northern, northeastern and southern parts of the country as the weather is changing. In a recent incident on Monday night, at least eight members of the Afghan police were killed in an attack by the Taliban ...Arabic for students... in northern Balkh province. In a report released in February, the United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... said the organization has documented 3,804 civilian deaths, including 927 children, in 2018. In total, UNAMA documented 10,993 civilian casualties (3,804 deaths and 7,189) maimed), representing a five percent increase in overall civilian casualties and an 11 percent increase in civilian deaths compared with 2017. In this report, UNAMA attributes the majority of civilian casualties ‐ 63 percent ‐ to anti-government elements (37 percent to Taliban, 20 percent to ISIS, and 6 percent to undetermined anti-government elements). According to the report, pro-government forces caused 24 percent civilian deaths (14 percent by Afghan national security forces, six percent by international military forces, and four percent by other pro-government gangs and forces). The report says that key factors contributing to the significant increase in civilian casualties were a spike in suicide kabooms by anti-government elements, mainly ISIS, as well as increased harm to civilians from aerial and search operations by pro-government forces. The report says that 2018 witnessed the highest number of civilian casualties ever recorded from suicide attacks and aerial operations. |
