The civilian death toll in Afghanistan continues to rise, thanks to Afghan terrorist groups indiscriminately murdering their own people.
The botched withdrawal from the region by the Biden administration hasn't helped matters.
Civilian Death Toll in Afghanistan: Indiscriminate Murder
Terrorist organizations like the Taliban and ISIS do not follow the typical rules of engagement.
Because of their methods, especially homemade bombs and suicide bombers, the percentage of women and children killed has grown exponentially since 9/11.
In 2017 alone, the Taliban's homemade bombs accounted for 40% of casualties in the first six months.
In addition, the number of children killed went up 9% year over year, with 23% more women killed.
Recent numbers estimate that the Civilian death toll during the war on terror is close to 50,000.
Data from Harvard University Kennedy School's Linda Bilmes estimates that the number is 47,245 for the longest war the United States has ever participated in.
UN's head of the Afghanistan mission, Tadamichi Yamamoto, said, The human cost of this ugly war in Afghanistan – loss of life, destruction, and immense suffering – is far too high."
“The continued use of indiscriminate, disproportionate, and illegal improvised explosive devices [IEDs] is particularly appalling and must immediately stop.”

Civilian Death Toll in Afghanistan: Anti-Government Tactics
According to the UN, around two-thirds of the deaths are because of the Taliban and additional anti-government groups like the Islamic State.
In 2017, 596 civilians were killed because of IEDs. However, they determined that the worst attack was a truck bomb at Kabul on May 31, killing 150 people.
Many bombs left in fields or abandoned houses have also led to an increase in the civilian death toll, though at a slower rate.
Around 1,483 were also left injured because of those bombs. Some of the injured even had to have limbs amputated. One of the victims was a 19-year old student and cricket player.
These terrorist groups have demonstrated no consideration for innocent civilians. Their radical views have led to a decades long bloodbath.
What do you think, is there any hope of bringing democracy and freedom to these oppressed civilians? Is it America's job to do so? Did the botched Biden withdrawal contribute to these growing numbers?
Let us know in the comments below.
BIDEN IS EVIL
Evil, demented, and totally irresponsible~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not fit to be POTUS 0f anyplace.
This is what happens when the communist party takes over
Or the people pulling the Governments PUPPET’s. Strings!!
BIDEN & THE DEMOCRATS ARE TO BLAME FOR ALL THESE DEATHS! NOT ONLY IN AFGHANASTAN BUT ARROUND THE WORLD FROM THEIR PART IN FUNDING THE CHINESE WUHAN CORONA VIRILOGY LAB WITH OUR MONEYS IN 2018 $14 MILLION & PRIOR $3.7 MILLION EACH TIME! THANKS TO LYING SO CALLED DR. ANTHONY FAUCI! THEY ARE STILL CAUSING DEATHS WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES!
Can I get a resounding YES! We said, indeed!, All of this for votes. Is this who we are?
There is no problem in Afghanistan it was a highly successful withdrawal. There is no problem at the border - Biden & Harris have done a masterful job welcoming new voters - I mean citizens. There is no problem with the economy the problem is we are too greedy to give the Biden administration and Nazi Nancy more and more to throw away. Now we get down to the real issues which of course are the unvaccinated who are getting sick after contact with the fully vaccinated. Then Climate change - the temperature yesterday was 2 degrees lower that the highest ever recorded temperature which occured in 1842. I guess they had worse climate change back then.
they keep budgeting for "things" that will never go away and only grow exponentially to feed their retirement next eggs. losers ALL!! There must be a complete tear down and overhaul of this monster. somehow it must be destroyed and never allowed to reappear.
Another manufactured communist/socialist/Marxist "crisis". Total B.S.! Fear=control=POWER. Right now these elitist/weasels, who pass laws that they don't have to adhere to, are drunk on "power". You think lock downs, passports, restrictions, detentions, isolation, shutting down the social and economics of Nations due to C19 was happenstance? Do you still think that this is about C19? Do you still think this is about climate change?" Like our cognitively compromised POTUS, I have THREE words... WAKE UP!
Now watch more with Taliban running nation
Biden must be eventually executed for crimes.
For now he absolutely must be removed from office. We are beyond the point of toleration. Now it is action.
We the people can never allow an anchor baby that , isn't constitutional eligible to be sworn in as President, Biden and the ho has to go. we cant wait two years.
Why do the leaders of our nation feel compelled to attempt and make others country’s conform to our type of government? When our founding fathers came to this country, they came to get away from a repressive government & establish one where mankind could live free.
We have since elected corrupt leaders & politicians that think we should force ourselves on other nations & cause them to live as we live. How crazy is this, really just how foolish can individuals be?
If people feel overly oppressed, they should leave their country, or rebel & force their leaders to change. This is exactly what we did & did it quite effectively. Other nations have the same opportunity.
This entire ordeal in Afghanistan should never have happened and the way Joe pulled out was absolutely the most absurd call a world leader has ever made. But leave it to Joe. What was his former Bosses famous words regarding Joe? “ Leave it to Joe, he can F it up.”
BESIDES, WHY DID THE MILITARY DECIDE TO LEAVE ALL THE MILITARY EQUIPMENT THERE TO BE USED AGAINST US, JUST WONDERING FROM A FORMER ARMY DRFTEE...
The guys Biden gave billions in military equipment too. Another great achievement for Biden
BLAME BIDEN, HE IS THE GENIOUS.
No respect or value of human life, man, woman or child. Biden and his son have been behind so much of this for many years. Why wasn't he ever stopped? I want names, and I'm sure there are some.
And they hate Trump, yes he says bad words but in spite of his flaws he's a fighter and he loves this Country. He stopped so many bad things, but with the Liberals and the lying Media most people don't even know all the good things he did.
Democracy and freedom? That's a joke, right? Islam is about killing and only killing. Evey other sentence is about jihad (killing). The koran is pure evil. Islam is pure evil. Islam makes Nazi Germany look like summer camp.
We need to apply immediate pressure on their leaders to quit attacking the people of Afghanistan. There is no logical reason for the fighting to continue!
We never should have put boots on the ground to start with. That being said, once we DID, we should have FINISHED the liberation of the country as quickly as possible. But since the worthless politico's in DC wouldn't allow us to WIN ... again ... ll, THIS is the result of idiots in gov't, and our "diplomats !!! Thanks again Biden, U POS !!!
