How many afghan civilians dies every day?
Afghanistan
is a country where international forces are present to form the local militia
and to prevent from any overflow against and with the Taliban. Until the forces
withdrew, they can already count civilian casualties. The all number of deaths
in Afghanistan in term of civilians’ casualties has decreased significantly for
the first four months of 2012. Some of these deaths are due to the forces and afghan clashes. The right numbers are: 579 civilians have find death and 1216 have been wounded. It also represents a decrease of 21% over last past year. It is
explained by the problem that intergovernmental forces do nothing to protect
civilians, they argue that they do but they don’t move at all. The proof of
this fact is the growing number of landmines and explosives devices that they
found on their ground. Also the slowdown in fighting between the Taliban and
the military presence (USA, Europe, UK…) has played in favor of reducing
the number of civilians’ deaths. There is a strong seasonal impact on the
number of victims because the winter was really hard this year so people don’t
get out and take less risk.
My opinion
on this issue is an ethical problem, because being a country in war is
conceivable for political reasons of for tensions inside the country. These facts have always existed in the all world and during all time. Especially in this
part of the world, because of the entire energy resource that you can find here.
But the civilians –for me- would never be included in this type of violence. These
poor people have a hard life because of the poorness of their country, their strong and hard life conditions. When I see on TV people in Afghanistan
going to keep some water and die because of a landmine, it makes me really sad.
I hope that one day in this part of the world, conflicts will stop and people
will find their classical and non-dangerous life.
