Senators Accused Security Officials of Failure in Preventing Civilian Causalities
A number of Afghan senators have declared that the lack of a strong political will for suppressing the armed oppositions has led the enemies to step up attacks in many parts of the country.
Senators accused security officials of failure in providing security and preventing civilian causalities.
They emphasized that practical solutions should be find out for eliminating these challenges.
“We all should stand in a unique rank within the current existence conspiracies against the country. Unfortunately, there is no political will for uprooting the Taliban group,” said Senator Muhammad Alam Izad Yar.
Senator Jumauddin Geyanwall said, “A political solution should be found for the security challenges. Currently, nearly 15 provinces are under threat and its main perpetrators are the security officials.”
Meanwhile, chairman of the Senate House emphasized that the conspiracies by the intelligence of the region were organized with their servants in the country and we have to stand against them.
“The government should take serious measures against these strange servants and the Afghan people should stand alongside the system,” said Fazlulhadi Muslimyar, chairman of Senate.
Afghan Senators stressed that the government should persuade the world to further press Pakistan to stop supporting terrorism.
2016 is the worst year for civilians in the Afghan conflict since UNAMA started systematically documenting casualties in 2009.
Its annual report looking at the protection of civilians in 2016 found the trend towards more casualties in 2016 particularly marked for women and children.
For women, IEDs are now the second biggest killer, with increased fighting in and around populated centers and a growing number of women trying to escape the conflict or get back home.
