Press Release
The Increase in Civilian Casualties is the Direct Outcome of Occupation and Colonialism
(Translated)

UNAMA, the mission of United Nations (UN) for Afghanistan, has announced that in last five years the number of civilian casualties have maximized that in 2014, it increased 19% over last year. In total 17,252 killed and 29,536 wounded Afghan civilians have been recorded by the UNAMA from 2009 until now. On the other hand, this report stated that Taliban are responsible for 75% of these casualties because this extremist group has intensified their attacks on international forces and Afghan national forces alike.

While the basic factor of these casualties is the direct outcome of the American and NATO war machine in Afghanistan. Because they are continuing the war against oppressed people of Afghanistan through different forces; for instance, American and Afghan Special Forces, contract based security forces - Blackwater, Michael simple networks, local police and national uprising forces as well as bombing through war planes and drones.

Whereas in thirteen years of crusade war in Afghanistan, America and NATO have encountered a shameful military defeat. Therefore, to lead the war with a low cost after heavy losses and damages, America and NATO have decided to make the war local and between Afghans by decreasing their forces in Afghanistan. In order to continue the war they left the battlefields to Afghan forces. Additionally, as per Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA) between Kabul - Washington, American and NATO forces will have a didactic role and they will stay in their bases.

Lastly, it's necessary for the Afghan Military and politics leadership not to become the tools of occupation and colonialism for the westerners and their mercenaries, and to stop killing your own brothers. In order to secure their Islamophobic and colonialist aims they want to kill Muslims using Muslims. To radically change the situation the only way out is to establish Khilafah "Caliphate" Rashidah upon the method of the Prophethood and unify our forces against the enemies.
