Afghan civilians were attacked and injured
U.S. regulators also reported 2,561 civilian casualties, including 876 deaths. From April to June it increased by 43%. As the Taliban have launched devastating attacks on Afghanistan’s provincial capitals and security facilities in the past few months, fighting has intensified across the country. Even though the Afghan government negotiators and the Taliban have been meeting in Qatar to reach a peace agreement, violence in Afghanistan continues. Since the start of the talks on September 12, there has been little progress in the meeting between the two parties.

often accused each other of intensifying hostilities and killing civilians. The Afghan anti-American organization claimed that after the back-to-back attack on the education center in Kabul, people called for a boycott of the ongoing peace talks, but some Afghan government officials insisted that the Taliban organized the attack. There are at least 35 people, most of whom are students. The heavily armed Taliban attacked the University of Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, and ended the attack after several hours of fighting with the security forces, killing many soldiers and killing more than forty people.

Also last week, as an education center in western Kashgar was attacked by anti-American armed forces claimed by Afghanistan, more than 20 people were killed, most of them students. The United Nations has warned that the number of civilian casualties in Afghanistan has increased sharply, and that the security situation in Afghanistan has "rapidly deteriorated." Official statistics from Afghanistan show that since the Taliban armed group reached a "peace" agreement with Washington in February, Taliban bombings and other attacks have increased by 70%. However, the U.S. influence on the Afghan battlefield is waning, and the Pentagon hopes to withdraw all its remaining troops before May next year.

The agreement between the United States and the Taliban in February this year should also lay the foundation for a peace process between the Taliban and the Afghan government. The recent violent incidents will only make this prospect slim. The United States invaded Afghanistan in October 2001 and overthrew the then Taliban regime. But during the presidency of George Bush, Barack Obama and the current Donald Trump, the U.S. military was still in a difficult position. For the past two decades, the US military has been at war with Taliban militants. Taliban militants now control or influence about half of Afghanistan’s armed forces and land.
It has since been reported that the war led by the United States has killed 150,000 people, including local security forces, civilians, insurgents and foreign forces. Thousands of American soldiers and their allies were also killed. This conflict cost the United States about one trillion dollars.
