'Thank the statists': Civilian Casualties in Afghan War Topped 10,000 in 2014, U.N. Says

KABUL — Last year was the deadliest for civilians caught up in Afghanistan’s war since the United Nations began keeping records in 2009, the world body said Wednesday — a harbinger of the new dynamic of the conflict, in which insurgents and Afghan forces increasingly engage in face-to-face battles.
By almost any metric, 2014 was a grim year. Civilian casualties, including both deaths and injuries, were up 22 percent from the previous record set in 2013, and they surpassed 10,000 for the first time since the United Nations’ record-keeping began. The number of women and children injured or killed also hit new highs.
