Pro-government forces, including Nato, have killed more civilians in Afghanistan in the first part of 2019 than the Taliban, have shown a UN report.
It's the first time in the 18-year conflict that this has happened and comes at the time of a terrible American air campaign against the Taliban, writes BBC, translates Periscope.
717 civilians had been killed by nato-led and Afghanistan's government forces, compared to 531 by Islamic militants, the UN says.
This data comes at a time when Washington is trying to toughen the war.
Air strikes, most of which were carried out by American warplanes, killed 363 people, including 89 children, in just the first six months of this year.
Washington is holding negotiations with the Taliban to prove reaching a ceasefire agreement, even though at the same time it has intensified its offensive campaign.
Militants are refusing to formally negotiate with the Afghan government until there is an agreement to evacuate the US country. /Periscope
