The Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) in a report said that 2019, like previous years, once again was a deadly year for Afghan civilians despite ongoing peace efforts to end the 18-year-old war, reports Tolo News on February 4. The report indicates that 86,823 civilians, including women and children, were harmed by conflict between 2009-2019 (28,979 killed, and 57,844 injured). "The high number of civilian causalities indicate all sides’ failure to comply with international humanitarian law," the report said. In 2019, fewer civilians were harmed by conflict compared to 2018, the report says. In 2018 there was a total of 11,611 civilian casualties, and during the same period in 2019 there were 10,772 civilian casualties. The report says that the majority of civilian casualties have occurred in the southwestern zone, harming 3,453 victims, which is 32 per cent of all civilian casualties in 2019. "The Taliban is responsible for 71% of all civilian casualties in 2019," the report says, adding that Daesh/ Islamic State (IS) is responsible for five per cent, while, Afghan and international forces are responsible for 14% of civilian casualties. The perpetrators for nine per cent of civilian casualties is unknown, according to the report.
