The surveys about casualties of Afghan war which are published by international organizations show that aim just in propaganda. About the exact casualties of war a research or survey have not been conducted yet and the organizations involved in this field are not impartial.
The surveys that were published in past years showed that they were publishing just for perverting the public and does not match the realities on the ground. For example, United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) report shows that the largest casualties to civilians are caused by Taliban. However Taliban’s attacks caused heavy civilian casualties, but UNAMA’s position on civil casualties by foreign troops is invalid and worthless and aims at condemning Taliban and hiding crimes by foreign troops, while the foreign troops targeting civilians in large numbers and were the first hand cause of the civilian casualties in past 13 years.
Therefore the different parts that were supposed to be impartial publishing figures about casualties of Afghan war are based on guesses and are not the exact numbers, but at all, during this imposed war thousands of Afghans are killed and hundreds thousands other are wounded.
Transitional justice
In communities where the justice implementation is not possible, for prosecution of that transitions in location or time take place. For example, most of the cases of crimes are referred to International Criminal Court (ICC) in Hague of Netherlands or referred to another time when the time is not possible.
The criminals of past three decades of war in Afghanistan are to be referred to a transitional justice process, while they all were in power in past 13 years.
In September 2013, The Attorney General of Netherlands released the names of 5000 Afghans who were killed between 1978 and 1979, during communist party rule, but their trial has not been conducted yet. But the surveys that are conducted by other organizations are not clear as the latest report of Amnesty International showed. This report states that international troops do not have the will of respect to law while they commit war crimes and not prosecuted.
Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) also publishes contradictory figures, and the civil society activities were limited just to projects in this field and were not effective.
Afghan casualties
The numbers which are being published by the involved parties in Afghanistan conflict (armed opposition and Afghan security forces) seem invalid and not trustable, so these are unrealistic.
As we pointed previously, the world organizations are also baseless. Lately Amnesty International (AI) published a report in which it was stated that foreign troops in past five years have killed about 1100 Afghan civilians including children and women. This report says that they considered ten incidents from 2009 to 2013.
Meanwhile UNAMA in its latest report states that in first six months of 2014, 1560 civilians have been killed and 3280 others wounded.
Statics from other organizations shows that in 2013 more than 3000 civilians have been killed and 5600 others injured, but the casualties from 2001 to 2010 were higher than the latest years of war.
About 13 thousand Afghan military forces including local police have been killed, but the real number also seems to be higher than this one.
On the other hand in past 13 years the number of killed and injured Taliban and armed opposition cannot be guessed because in most times the civilians are also killed under the title of insurgency.
But at all according to the statics of some international organizations, in past 13 years 45000 to 65000 Afghans have been killed in this war and hundreds others wounded.
Coalition casualties
According to Pentagon statistics as of 2013 around 2500 US soldiers have lost their lives and more than 19000 have been injured. It also states that there have been a total of 3500 coalition deaths in Afghanistan.
According to these figures only in 2010, 496 American troops have been killed and 5247 others wounded. 2010 was declared as dangerous year for foreign troops; but in the reality number is higher than the figures provided.
In 2010 when NATO troops casualties hit the higher numbers they brought heavy weaponry to Afghanistan and increased their assaults. Therefore the opposition and civilian casualties also increased in high numbers but since then it has become lower.
The political game being played by United States and continuation in foreign troops attacks on civilians makes it clear that they have not decided to put an end to the war in Afghanistan. Question raises that who is responsible for the oppressions and pains that were imposed on Afghans during the past one decade? Afghans also do not have answer to the question that until when they will be burning in proxy wars imposed on them and finally what will be the outcome of this war?
