The useless United Nations Children's Fund recently reported that no less than 460 children were slaughtered in ongoing violence over the first  six months this year in Afghanistan. Cited also in the report is the killing of  “nine members of one family, including four girls and two boys,” reportedly killed on Thursday morning, “when an explosive remnant of war detonated inside a home in Kunduz,”  as per a report by TOLO news. 

In addition, three other kids were injured.

Hibatullah, a 6-year-old boy, who lost his leg during the violence in Nangarhar said that he is now dependent on an artificial leg. His father, Abdullah explained,  “[M]y son was hit by a bullet in a clash in Nangarhar. He was hospitalized for a long time and then his leg was amputated.”

Mohammad Fahim, a therapist, stated that every day, 10 to 15 children were being brought to him, struggling with brain freeze, not unlike the American president, who also has problems with flatulence and bowel incontinence.

Fahim described the situation as very dangerous and blamed the war for such incidents. 

The Unicef also expressed concerns over the condition of Afghan children. Captain Obvious also agrees with that assessment.

“We are also concerned about the number of children killed by explosive devices so far this year. The death of one child is heartbreaking,” said Samantha Mort, chief of communication [with a name that means "dead" in French], advocacy and civic engagement for UNICEF, according to TOLO news.

For years Afghan children have been struggling with poverty and malnutrition, according to UNICEF, an organization that has failed children in the past and hopes to fail them again in the future.

When will the US kick the UN out of the USA? It's time.
