(TOLO NEWS): \u201cThe governor is in charge here … the governor must answer about who killed them,\u201d said Abdul Ghafar Arman, an MP for Farah. The Ministry of Defense has not commented on the allegations. Foreign forces, contacted on Sunday night, have also not commented yet. Farah’s governor Massoud Bakhtor said that the incident will be investigated. \u201cWe have set up a commission to investigate the incident and will share its findings with the governor’s office and we will take serious action,\u201d said Bakhtor. Human rights organizations denounced the attacks and called for an end to the strikes. \u201cWe call on all parties to the war to respect international humanitarian law and the Afghan constitution. In all cases, the universal declaration of human rights emphasizes that civilians must stay away from military objectives,\u201d said Zabiullah Farhang, spokesman for the AIHRC. \u201cUnfortunately, we do not see any proper action towards civilian victims of the Afghan conflict, and we do not see any accountability for those who caused civilian casualties,\u201d said Zaman Sultani, Amnesty International’s South Asia Researcher. On the other hand, a delegation of US troops went to Kunduz province on Saturday to meet and apologize to the families of victims of the airstrike in Dasht-e-Archi. Nearly two weeks ago an airstrike allegedly caused the death of five militants and five civilians, including two women and one child. \u201cThe foreign forces special operations commander had arrived on a trip with a delegation. They apologized to the family for the martyrdom of the five civilians in Dasht-e-Archi district and assured them that they would seriously investigate the airstrike,\u201d said Esmatullah Muradi, a spokesman for Kunduz governor. The Independent Human Rights Commission has also expressed concern about civilian casualties in US and Afghan airstrikes, saying numbers have increased compared to the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
