The report said that Afghanistan remains one of the deadliest conflicts in the world for civilians despite civilian casualty figures being 13 per cent less than first six months of 2019. “It must be noted that there has been no reduction in civilian casualties caused by the Taliban and Afghan national security forces,” the report said, and attributed the lower number of civilian casualties in the first half of 2019 to a reduction in operations by international military forces and Daesh.
