(IMI-Aktuell 2019/446): Neue UN-Zahlen belegen, dass 2019 erstmals mehr Zivilopfer in Afghanistan auf das Konto pro-westlicher Akteure gehen, schreibt der Guardian: „UN figures for first half of 2019 blame 717 deaths on pro-Kabul forces and 531 on militants. […] This year is the first time since civilian casualty records started over a decade ago that pro-government forces have caused more deaths than insurgents, raising serious questions about the western mission there. […] Overall the report found 403 civilians were killed by Afghan troops and 314 by their international allies in the first six months of 2019, a total of 717. The Taliban, Islamic State and other militant groups killed 531 civilians.” (jw)
