Response of spokesman of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
about civilian casualties’ survey
Ramadan 04, 1431 A.H, Sunday, August 15, 2010
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the
Most Merciful.
The topic “civilian casualties” being raised in the world mass media over and
over again is a highly sensitive issue of the country’s ongoing crisis which is
currently being used as a subjective medium of propaganda by the Western media
rather than observance and fulfillment of the human rights.
Despite the fact that that the civilian deaths by the US and its allies’ blind
bombardments and fire reached a record high, yet several different official and
unofficial organizations in the word are reporting the issue in a partial,
one-sided and incorrect way, stunningly exempting the persistent offenders,
those who have really been behind the civilian deaths in Afghanistan. Following
such biased and subjective press release by other so-called human rights
organization of the UN, the United Nation Assistance in Afghanistan (UNAMA)
released a report on August 10, 2010, blaming the Mujahideen for most of the
civilian casualties.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, regarding such press releases based on
one-sidedness and dogmatism instead of neutrality and justification by related
organizations and mainstream media outlets which not only encourage the ISAF
forces to keep harassing the masses and causing further civilian deaths but also
exacerbate and intensify the tragedy rather than minimizing the effect and
slowing down the civilian casualties, outlines the strategic facts and
clarification indicated as follows:
A committee, consisting of special representatives of Islamic Conference, UN’s
human rights organizations as well as representatives from ISAF forces and
Islamic of Emirate of Afghanistan, should be formed to assess the very issue and
conduct investigations into the civilian casualties across the country.
The stated committee should by given a free hand to survey the affected areas as
well as people in order to collect the precise information and the facts and
figures and disseminate its findings worldwide.
Failure to pay attention to the said proposal outlined by Islamic Emirate may be
the same as denial of the human rights of the Afghans by UN and violation of the
fact that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, which
may leads up to the conclusion that the Afghans can not enjoy their equal and
free rights, therefore, the frequently-repeated and raised issue concerning the
civilian casualties by so-called human right organization and others can only
serve as a propaganda tool encouraging and daring the killers to push the
war-stricken and oppressed Afghan masses far deeply into the fire set by ISAF
forces . If the UN and other related organization really want to carry out the
job, they are to come up with an optimistic and positive decision concerning the
suggestion of the Islamic Emirate.
