Response of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan to Banki Moon Assertions About Civilian Casualties i[n Afghanistan]

Un Secretary General Bank Moon,  in his recent assertions,  has said that almost twenty per cent of civilian casualties in Afghanistan are caused by American and her Allies firing and eighty percent are caused by the Armed Opposition [presumably a reference to the following statement: “Seventy-eighty per cent of civilian casualties have been done by the anti-government forces.”]. His assertions come to the  open amidst repots of people’s demonstrations and protests in Afghanistan against  civilian casualties  perpetrated by  Americans.

Ironically, the  Head of an August World Body like UNO, who claims being neutral,  brazenly tramples down on UNO principles of neutrality  through his  remarks  in order to please the White House rulers.

We ask Bank Moon , who martyred schools students, the adolescents in Narang district of Kunar province,  nearly one week ago?

Memory  of gruesome events of civilian casualties (at the hand of the invaders) in Farah, Shin Dand, Kunduz, Dehrawood where hundreds of miserable Afghans were killed, are still fresh among  our people.

Bank Moon should once sneak a look at  the Pentagon  to see that two departments under the name of Psychological Warfare and Lies Fabrication Department are now part and parcel of the official organizational set-up of the ministry. The Psychological Warfare Department teaches troops to kill civilians in order to create shock and awe in their hearts  so they submit to  the troops without demur. Whereas the Department of Lies Fabrication instructs the soldiers  to spread lies against the enemy in media and among the people so that they  distance themselves from the enemy and nurture hatred against them.   There is the secret of victory in doing so, it maintains.

It is a matter of pondering whether Mr. Banki Moon is acting intentionally or unintentionally in favor of the above-mentioned departments. This is because he, sometimes, gives expression to words which does not suit his position and neutral status.

We want to remind Mr. Secretary General, UNO,  that according to a recent analysis of  war analysts in Pentagon,   America has lost initiatives against Taliban because Taliban leadership have instructed their followers in Afghanistan to deal gently with  the common people. “That is why, we  were not able to tip them against Taliban,” the report adds.  “However, henceforth, America should put the blame of civilian casualties on Taliban in order to make people distance themselves from Taliban and that they may  nurture hatred   in their hearts against   them. ”   So Banki Moon should  have a look at his surrounding before making such remarks – to see what is surreptitiously going on ( in his back yard). Similarly, Banki Moon and his employers should know  that the Afghan people and the Mujahideen have vast work experience of three decades war. They know all games and ploys of colonialism. None can deceive them through politically-motivated and demagogue statements.  You  should also know that partial judgment and blind support of one side and  condemnation of the other  only irreparably harms your credibility which will surely result into   playing  havoc  with your standing in the world,  particularly, in Afghanistan.
