New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Aghanistan's Zabīh Allah Mujāhid: "UNAMA Report About Civilian Casualties Is One-sided and According To American Assent"

UNAMA released today its biannual report about civilian casualties in Kabul. According to report, the number of civilian casualties in Afghanistan was as much as during the last 10 years.
But UNAMA this time once again its sympathy with American invaders and covered their daily crimes.
The whole Afghan nation is witnessing continues bombardment and raids on Afghan villages and cities are ongoing. National installation such as Madrasas, clinics, public compounds, gardens, markets and other civilian palaces are under continuous American attacks that cause heavy casualties to civilians.
But the UNAMA report states that Americans are responsible only for 3 percent of civilian casualties in Afghanistan.
On the other side, the Kabul regime’s troops, Arbakis and other criminals that are destroying villages and compounds wholly, have been attributed only to 17 percent of civilian casualties.
On the contrary, Mujahideen, how have already taken extra care of civilian casualties, they have been attributed to 40 percent of the civilian casualties.
Such one sided and injustice enquire report publishing itself is abandonment with civilian life and is helping the perpetrators in commenting of crimes.
Reports made by UNAMA that are manufactured in close coordination with the US Emissary, do not really want to pay their attention to the civilians, but they want to use the critical issue of civilian casualties as propaganda items against Mujahideen and ongoing jihad.
