(MENAFN- Afghanistan Times) After US-Taliban peace talks called dead, the Taliban group
pledged to continue fighting while the Afghan government scrambling to ensure
security. Unfortunately, the scene of brutality is much visible than ever
before. An average of 74 men, women, and children were killed every day
throughout the month of August, according to BBC finding. This casualty
happened only this month – imagine how much Afghans being killed during these
years of conflict, and how much more injured. The findings show unrelenting
violence affects almost the entire country with the civilian's doom are in
hysteria. The casualty tool is just a snapshot of the situation on the ground
in the country. However, it paints a bleak image as peace talks collapsed and
Afghans are dying in large numbers in each week. Moreover, there are fears
violence could be worsening as Afghanistan is preparing for upcoming
presidential elections slated for 28 September amid Taliban threats and
persisting challenges. Taliban openly warned Afghans to restrain from voting or
attending polling rallies. Taliban insurgents pledged to derail the election,
and carried the first deadly attack against an election rally in northern
Parwan province, in which 26 people, children and women among them, were killed
and 42 others wounded.11 injured people are in critical condition. Furthermore,
another suicide bombing occurred in Kabul, the capital city, in which many
residents were killed and wounded. It showed Taliban are extremely violent as getting
others to die for a nonsense cause. Targeting any gathering causing civilian
casualties is not a good idea. The Taliban fighters must confine their master's
order, and make them realize that no more attack in civilian-crowded areas
whether it's in polling gatherings or other event, is acceptable. At the
moment, Taliban fighters known as murderer of innocent people. They are trained
to murder masses in most brutal way such as suicide attacks. Of course, it is
not Islamic fir sure, its other cultish ideology. To mend ways, Taliban in an
immediate move should have announce not to target public areas for leverage
purposes. They need to stop past blunders. What could peace in Afghanistan look
like when Taliban yet to shun violence—a main reason behind revocation of peace
talks by President Trump. Meanwhile, Kabul and Parwan attacks claimed by
Taliban have exhibited security lapse that many innocent lives lost. Despite
security agencies announced their readiness to fully secure the upcoming
presidential elections, there is still concern in various region of the country
that security threats could impact the process. It already does after an
election rally targeted. Security situation drastically deteriorated in many
provinces, undermining election security and transparency credibility.
