For Afghan Children, A Year Even More Brutal Than The Last
February 6, 20173:59 PM ET

In Afghanistan, the number of civilian casualties reached an all-time high in 2016, the United Nations reported Monday.

Nearly 11,500 civilians were killed and wounded in the country last year — including more than 3,500 children. It is an overall increase of 3 percent compared with 2015, which was the previous record-high since the U.N. began systematic documentation in 2009.

Among children, the latest numbers represent a staggering 24 percent increase in injuries and deaths.

Obama "wins" Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, and  2016 his final year in office Afghanistan has record deaths to children. Hillary promised more such "progress."

Donald Trump is a Nazi and I am a racist/fascist for having supported him.

Islam is a religion of peace.  Conservative political forum??
