Ramadan Death Count: Afghanstan: 29/05/18

(Nangarhar) Afghan forces have killed nine people, by mistake during a raid on a house in the eastern province of Nangarhar. Eight people, including a child and a woman, were also wounded in the operation carried out by Afghan special forces in the Chaparhar district. 

(Pul-e-Alam city)  A tribal elder who awarded a ‘medal of bravery’ to US President Donald Trump, was killed on Sunday by the Taliban.  Haji Gul Nabi was so impressed with how President Trump berated Pakistan in January, that he collected at least $700 USD dollars from residents and farmers of the province recently to make the medal, which was handed over to the US embassy. Apparently the Pakistani funded Taliban couldn’t be having that could they.
