我们对最近阿富汗的数起恐怖主义袭击所造成的生命损失和财产毁坏表示诚挚哀悼，这些袭击导致数百名无辜群众丧生或致残。尽管塔利班在该国越来越多的袭击和军事成果遭到了阿富汗安全部队的抵抗，但这些袭击在过去几个月内陡升，这一趋势无法仅以作战季节高峰作为解释。显然，国际社会目前援助阿富汗的努力还不够充足。
We offer our sincere condolences at the loss of lives and destruction of property in several recent terrorist attacks in Afghanistan, which killed and maimed hundreds of innocent people. While the Taliban’s increased attacks and military gains in the country have been resisted by the Afghan security forces, these attacks have only gone up in the last few months, a trend which cannot be explained as simply a peak in the fighting season. The current efforts made by the international community to assist Afghanistan have clearly not been adequate.
