A recently published article of NewsGram titiled 'Innocent Civilians suffer the most in Lethal Combat against the Taliban' highlights the lethal attacks increasingly performed by Taliban against the Afghan Government, ruthlessly destroying the settlements of civilians along the way. It says, "Ever since September 2015, Taliban had been performing increasingly lethal attacks against the Afghan Government, ruthlessly destroying the settlements of civilians along the way. Families have been carelessly torn apart with no one to sympathize with their pain and sorrow. The battle of Kunduz, which commenced in April 2015 in an effort by the Taliban forces to take control of the city, assumed a more savage form with the onset of the Mansour leadership."

A UN report from February illustrates the fact that more than 3,500 civilians were killed in 2015, and an appalling one in four deaths were that of a child's, a big rise as compared to last year's records, making this the highest number of deaths noted.
