Horrific crimes by Washington ... and the Pentagon continues to forge the number of its victims

Damascus-Sana

Horrific crimes committed by the United States throughout its history have changed its theaters in different countries around the world according to American agendas to focus in recent years in the Middle East, claiming the lives of thousands of innocent civilians amid a complete American blackout on their real number and issuing false statistics that reduce the actual death toll.

Washington, which realizes that its crimes will pass as usual without oversight or international accountability, continues to cover up the true number of victims of its crimes and refuses to admit the fall of thousands of them to make false and unrealistic estimates. The Pentagon had issued the most recent of them yesterday, as reported by Reuters and claimed 130 deaths Civilian and only 91 wounded as a result of what it called the US military operations in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and Somalia last year.

The Pentagon report shamefully ignores many statistics prepared by international organizations on the fall of thousands of victims due to Washington's military interventions and direct attacks, and while the report acknowledged that only 22 civilians were victims in Syria and Iraq, a survey conducted by the Air War Monitoring Group showed that during the first six months of 2019, attacks caused The US-led "coalition" that claims to fight the terrorist organization ISIS, has claimed more than a thousand civilians as victims in Syria.

The repeated reports issued by the Pentagon merely to review the number of victims of Washington's crimes in Syria, including its latest report, do not mention even a small part of the actual numbers of civilians who died because of its interventions, attacks, and support for terrorist organizations directly or indirectly, and they constitute the effects of destruction left by the United States and its Western alliance in The city of Raqqa and its hundreds of victims are the biggest testimony to the falsehood of Washington's statistics and its lies on counter-terrorism.

Illegal “International Coalition” warfare led by Washington and in the context of its aggression and massacres against Syrian civilians Property and homes of citizens.

The Pentagon report also did not mention the devastating results of the US invasion of Afghanistan and the numbers of civilians who are killed due to the repercussions of this invasion of chaos and spread of terrorism or air strikes by US drones.

While the report claims that 108 Afghan civilians were killed by US military operations last year, United Nations statistics indicate that at least 3,812 Afghan civilians were killed and wounded in the first half of 2019.

Amnesty International's branch in the United States responded to the Pentagon report, stressing that Washington still counts fewer actual numbers of civilian casualties, and according to Daphne Eviator, director of the organization's security department, “Based on Amnesty International’s extensive and extensive investigations in several places, The American military mentions far fewer numbers than civilians who are killed and injured by the American strikes.

And while American drones are the most used weapon for crimes committed by the United States around the world, President Donald Trump last year canceled the policy that obliges US intelligence officials to report the death of civilians in these aircraft attacks outside war zones to further darken and mislead Washington of the fact of the fall Large numbers of civilians due to its crimes.

The crimes committed by the United States continue in Syria and Iraq through the presence of occupation forces and their support for terrorists. These crimes also continue in several countries around the world as part of an organized process that successive American administrations have worked for more than a century to establish and transform into a systematic policy to achieve their goals with full control.
