Taliban's Reactions To The Recurrent
Partial Report By The United Nations's UNAMA
27 December 2012
By Al-Ikhwah Al-Mujahidun
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the
Most Merciful.
UNAMA, a branch of the United Nations, in its recent
civilian casualties report once again attributed
eighty percent (80%) of the caused casualties to the
Mujahideen, six percent (6%) to the Kabul
administration and chose to remain silent on the rest.
The report writes that in the second half on the
current year, civilian casualties increased compared
to a downward trend in the first six months. 967
civilians were reported martyred and 1590 civilians
wounded.
UNAMA has failed to even indicate towards the civilian
casualties caused by bombings, raids and direct fire
of the invading forces despite the fact that the
mentioned forces oppress, detain and martyr civilians
on a daily basis. Similarly, it has enshrouded the
atrocities committed by the Kabul regime's Army,
Police and especially Arbakis (ALP/militia) and has
only attributed six percent of civilian casualties to
them which in reality is far lower than the actual
percent.
On the other hand, UNAMA has now for a prolonged
period been accusing Mujahideen for the major share of
civilian casualties to hide the flaws of the invaders
and at the same time, for unknown reasons, it has not
positively responded to the reasonable appeals and
genuine investigation called to by Islamic Emirate
regarding prevention of civilian casualties.
The general population is our own nation; our leader
had previously taken serious steps in preventing
civilian losses and efforts are still being made so
none are caused by us; most importantly, we are
divinely responsible to answer to the people in this
regard. Using the issue of civilian casualties for
political and other purposes is what strengthens such
activities because its drives our enemies, in order to
defame Mujahideen, to commit such acts which on the
one hand cause heavy civilian losses and on the other
hand, put pressure on Mujahideen through organization
like UNAMA to achieve their sinister objectives. This
evidence is adequate to prove UNAMA's incompetence
that it has never conferred Mujahideen while
assembling its report so we can have an answer to the
allegations blindly charged against us, all this while
it is exclusively using the opposition as its sole
source of information.
The Islamic Emirate has repeatedly made clear that
mines placed by Mujahideen are all controlled by
remotes and do not detonate by pressure but only hit
its intended targets. To validate our claim, it is
enough to say that the invaders themselves admit that
sixty percent (60%) of their casualties in the past
ten years have been caused by IED's.
Attributing every explosion to Mujahideen is injustice
and clear concealment of truth because the enemy has
recently revamped efforts to try and defame Mujahideen.
They persecute people in Mujahideen attire, place
explosives on main roads and are flaming tribal
conflicts, clear examples of which are present in the
south, west and north of the country.
We urge all impartial organizations and independent
media outlets to not suffice with the fake reports and
statistics provided by the occupying forces and Kabul
regime. All events which are not accepted or rejected
by the Islamic Emirate should not be attributed to us.
From the findings of UNAMA, it seems that the source
of its data is the governors and spokesmen of the
corrupt and stooge Kabul regime because UNAMA does not
only not have workers in the districts but also in the
provincial capitals. According to our information, the
figures of civilian casualties provided by UNAMA are
in reality the sum of reports of Kabul administration
which attribute civilian casualties to the Mujahideen
on a daily basis.
We want to present examples of documented civilian
casualties caused by the invaders and Kabul
administration regarding which independent sides
should base their judgment and themselves discover how
UNAMA has neglected them in its report while keeping
in mind that these are a small sample whereas the
atrocities committed by them are far greater in
number:

The provided number of casualties is only a glimpse of
the atrocities carried out by the foreign forces and
gunmen of Kabul administration whereas the actual
number is several times higher. This report of the UN
fails to mention even a single one of these apparent
incidents which confirms the doubt of the Afghan
nation that the said organization, under the name of
impartiality, is employed by the foreign occupation
forces and works under their instructions.
