UN says US and Afghan forces killed 305 civilians in the first three months of 2019. This compares to 227 killed by all militant groups

Afghan National Army prepare for an operation against insurgents in Khogyani district of Nangarhar province, Afghanistan November 28, 2017.

"UNAMA urges both the Afghan national security forces and international military forces to conduct investigations into allegations of civilian casualties, to publish the results of their findings, and to provide compensation to victims as appropriate," the report states. In 2017, the US military started quickening its operational tempo after President Donald Trump loosened restrictions and made it easier for American forces to bomb Taliban positions.

Talks between Afghan leaders and Taliban canceled, in setback to U.S.-led peace processOrganizers called off the talks amid disputes over the size and composition of the Afghan government’s delegation. We need to just step out. Let them handle their own. US lead a peace process? LMAO What group would want to be involved in talks which include the US? Our government lies to it's own people and calls other countries 'shit holes'. Not exactly actions that engender trust among foes or allies.

US tells Afghan president Qatar talks best chance for peaceSec. of State Mike Pompeo calls Afghan president to express disappointment over indefinite postponement of talks with the Taliban. Was it a collect call?😎 .this whole thing was the quietest ever u turn in US policy. Its a shame but Pompeo should trust the Afghans judgement, they know first hand language culture and have the most to loose. If they need to suspend to make the Taliban reconsider something let them suspend. Gee! Did ya think this might happen? (Sarcasm).
