New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Rejoinder About the Recent Report of the UNAMA Regarding the Civilian Casualties"


As usual, a report has been prepared and published by the UNAMA office in Kabul on the American demands which is totally biased. The Islamic Emirate reacts as following:
1-    The UNAMA office inside Kabul has tactically shared this report just a few hours prior to its publication. The Islamic Emirate was not given enough time for its analysis and discussion with the UNAMA. This step was taken by them just to have a reference that they had shared this report with us which is itself an attempt to mislead the people.
2-    Just like previous year, 16% increase in civilian losses has been claimed this year in which 74% responsibility has been assigned to Mujahidin without furnishing any proofs. Some of the incidents were alluded to in which people related to Kabul admin, Arbakis and workers of some other detrimental organs were plainly called as civilians. No explanation is given about the reason of these incidents which itself produces doubts about the authenticity of this report. It shows that the above mentioned report is in consonance with the Americans’ attitude and is an attempt of propaganda against Mujahidin.
3-    The interesting point is that a part of the report says that the Islamic Emirate has admitted the responsibility of 52 such incidents through its websites, spokesmen and emails; resulting in civilian casualties in which 571 ordinary people have lost their lives. These attacks are martyrdom attacks, landmines and complex assaults carried out by Mujahidin. This statement is made by UNAMA while the Islamic Emirate has not a single incident in which civilian people have been targeted in these attacks. The incidents claimed by us are all the losses of our enemy and calling them civilians is UNAMA’s own judgment which is used for making the report more acceptable for Americans. Secondly, all the news broadcasted from the address of the Islamic Emirate, are simultaneously shared with media and the loss of 571 civilians is totally baseless and an unproven news. Yes! If UNAMA considers officials of Kabul admin, police, soldiers, intelligence workers and employees of other sensitive and detrimental organs as civilians, then their own analysis is inaccurate which means nothing but a baseless propaganda.
We never consider those people as civilians who are directly involved in our country’s occupation and work with sensitive organs of the enemy. On the other side, thousands of defenseless civilian people are martyred, wounded in imprisoned by Americans in their raids and bombings; but UNAMA, while speaking on behalf of Americans, terms all these people either militants or related with them in its reports !!!
Only 9% casualties have been attributed jointly to the invaders and the Kabul admin which has no resemblance with the American brutalities on the daily basis, their raids, bombing and all the cruelties of the Arbakis and workers of other security organs who have made the life the people unbearable in each and every corner of the country. It is another evidence that this report has been filtered by the Americans and has been attributed to UNAMA.
The Islamic Emirate considers the civilians as its own people. It has undertaken this huge, hazardous and painstaking resistance just for the emancipation of its own civilian countrymen. The Islamic Emirate has established an influential committee in its organizational setup for the prevention of civilian losses which has resulted in substantial reduction of these losses as per our calculation.
As we have said earlier, UNAMA prepares its report on the directions and recommendations of the American embassy inside Kabul whose sole aim is to mislead the people’s mentality against Mujahidin. We strongly reject this unfounded report and ask UNAMA that it will not succeed in this process of propaganda. The people are observing everything with their own eyes. The precautionary measures undertaken by the Islamic Emirate for saving the civilian lives, in such a huge and unbalanced war, have been unparalleled on the international level today as well as in the past.
