BBC: Afghanistan's Ghani says 45,000 security personnel killed since 2014
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani says more than 45,000 members of the country's security forces have been killed since he became leader in 2014.
The figure is far higher than previously thought, with Mr Ghani saying late last year that 28,000 had been killed since 2015.
"The number of international casualties is less than 72," he said on Friday. "It shows who is doing the fighting."
His comments come amid top-level talks between US and Taliban representatives.
The Taliban, the main insurgent group in Afghanistan, said on Thursday that they had held four days of face-to-face talks with US officials seeking to end 17 years of war.
It is not clear if the talks have continued into Friday, but earlier reports said negotiators were progressing towards a deal.

... and how many talibans(+civilians with talibans)?
And do you hear that deafening sound?
Why it's all the women demanding 50% of those jobs. Women are equal, they shout, so they should do 50% of those jobs too, where you are lucky to be alive the next day. They want justice they shout, enough of men only doing these jobs!!
In reality, women lobbied to get 50% of the best paying corporate jobs (board member jobs in the biggest tech companies in the world, in California nontheless).. you know, because they have a gender that demands that 50% of the jobs should be given to them.
But those other jobs, where you die, get dirty or don't have air conditioning? Why those jobs men can do, of course.. no justice or equality under the law required there..
and then, to put the cherry on top, they call us entitled. not them. right. us.
Those other jobs are made up jobs with no future except of course if you are a woman and have a strong need to be raped.
That is another discussion. Are you drunk anon?
See what i mean souls lost the glorious god reward forever.
