The Taliban also perpetrated mass rapes and executions of surrendered soldiers. Following the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in 2021, the Taliban has also executed civilians and captured insurgents during the ongoing Republican insurgency in Afghanistan. 1980–1988: Iran–Iraq War Over 100,000 civilians other than those killed in Saddam's genocide are estimated to have been killed by both sides of the war by R.J.Rummel. 1985–present: Uganda The Times reports (November 26, 2005 p. 27): Almost 20 years of fighting... has killed half a million people.
