Targeted killings of civilians are taking place at a deeply disturbing rate in Afghanistan, UNAMA stated Wednesday afternoon in a series of tweets.
The United Nations mission in Afghanistan said it “mourns the loss of so many outstanding citizens, condemns those responsible and urges authorities to bring them to account.”
The mission emphasized that in the past four days “Afghanistan has seen the killing of an MP, a well known journalist, a group of medics and head of a leading election watchdog.”
“Such dreadful attacks are rarely claimed and frequently focus on those working for an open society,” UNAMA stated.
