The last two decades of conflicts in Afghanistan has taken tens of thousands of lives from civilians to security force members and from international troops to the Taliban. 

In this report, TOLOnews has summed up overall casualties inflicted to all parties to the conflict as well as civilians in Afghanistan. The findings show that civilians have paid a high price for the ongoing war that started with the ouster of the Taliban regime in 2001. 

Andreas von Brandt, the European Union ambassador in Afghanistan, on Saturday urged the Taliban to take the upcoming UN-led conference on Afghanistan seriously and take the advantage of the historic opportunity if the group wants to have cooperation of the international community. 

Speaking at a gathering in Kabul, the envoy said that the Afghan peace process has never been on top of the agenda as it has been in the last few weeks.
