The representative office of United Nations in Afghanistan (UNAMA) has once again tried to portray the occupational forces in Afghanistan as the maintainers of security!! and Mujahideen as the cause of the conflict and insecurity however the ground realities, as seen by the people of the world are quite contrary.
In its annual report, UNAMA has written that in the year 2011, 3021 Afghan civilians were killed of which seventy seven percent (77%) were caused by Mujahideen, resulting mainly from changes in their military tactics whereas out of the remaining 23%, 410 civilian deaths were caused by the invaders and their puppets and the further 279 were not attributed to any particular party. The most surprising part of the report was that in 2011, only 63 civilian deaths were said to have been caused by the night raids of the invaders!!
The United Nations has been repeatedly trying for the past decade to cover the inhumane actions of the actual perpetrators of the ongoing Afghan war (occupational forces) and to give legality, in one form or another, to all their crimes while they (occupational forces) hold memberships in this very same establishment and blatantly step on all of its rules and regulations in front of the world!! but it still receives the nod of approval. If the UNAMA report is analyzed properly, it becomes clear that it is more about furthering a political agenda rather than human rights. What is even worse is that this report deliberately encourages the invaders to carry on playing with the honor, dignity, wealth and life of the ordinary Afghans.
Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan calls on the United Nations to cease from sacrificing its prestige for America. Admit to the realities! Note that not much difference can be observed between you and the White House on many issues related to Afghanistan so much so that some of your policies directly follow those of the White House. So in these circumstances, it becomes natural for people to think of the United Nations as the supporters of foreign policies of America instead of it being an independent organ!
Another puzzling point of the report is that active figures of the Kabul administration that play key roles as the protectors and backers of the invaders who are targeted and killed by Mujahideen like provincial and district governors, police chiefs and others are classed as civilians while eyes have been intentionally turned away from those defenseless civilians who are martyred along with their families in the night raids and other barbaric operations of the invaders.
According to an investigative report of OS and TL foundations published in 2011: foreign troops carry out between 12 and 20 raids every night which has caused civilians human and material losses many times more than those figures stated by the United Nations. We would like to present a sample of the casualties caused by the invaders in night raids during 2011 to the chief of UNAMA as documented evidence and remind him that these are the figures published or confirmed by independent news agencies, western outlets and the Kabul administration. We also emphasize that the actual figures of civilian casualties caused in these types of operations are many times higher.
On February 20th, news was published in which the governor of Kunar province (Fazlullah Wahidi) was quoted as saying that in Adra Gul, Sokie and Eigal areas of Ghaziabad district, 64 civilians were killed which includes twenty women and twenty nine children during bombardment by American forces, according to a report compiled later by an investigation team.

An investigative unit was sent by the administration of Kabul in December to inspect the civilians casualties caused in the operations of foreign troops in Kapisa, Kandahar and Paktia provinces. The unit was headed by Muhammad Tahir Safi who addressed the media on the 24th December after concluding his investigation; all the casualties in Kandahar, Kapisa and Paktia caused by bombardment of foreign troops were civilians.

Now the verdict will be handed over to the independent news agencies, human right groups, independent countries and peace desiring citizens; is it true as UNAMA states that the occupying forces are responsible for the deaths of only 63 civilians during night raids throughout the whole year or are that many killed during a single night.
