1399 Was Another Deadly Year for Afghan Civilians, Figures Show
2021-03-21
[ToloNews] The solar year 1399 was once again a challenging year for civilians in Afghanistan in which according to the human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
commission’s report, 2,909 non-combatants were killed and 5,494 others were maimed in security incidents like bombings, car kabooms and assassinations.

The figures show that of those killed, 543 were children and 323 were women.

The UN sees the Taliban responsible for 46% of civilian casualties, Daesh for 8% and pro-government forces for 24% of the casualties.
"We call on the international community and the United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
to use their leverage on both sides to reduce violence and agree on ceasefire," said Zabihullah Farhang, a front man for Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission. "The tactics that have been used such as roadside kaboomings and car kabooms have led to more civilian deaths and there were assassinations, too."

The United Nations has recorded 3,035 deaths and 5,785 maimed during the solar year 1399 (March 2020 to March 2021).

The figures by the two organizations show that most of the deaths are due to assassinations, blasts and attacks.

The UN sees the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
responsible for 46% of civilian casualties, ISIS for 8% and pro-government forces for 24% of the casualties.
