English to French: Report on the coordination of efforts in Afghanistan Detailed field: Military / Defense
Source text - English The new guidelines and directives have had some success in reducing the number of civilian casualties. International forces in combat situations have started to call for air support less often and, when they do, their requests are more frequently denied. According to UNAMA figures, the total number of civilian deaths attributed to pro-government forces (i.e. Afghan national security forces and international military) decreased in 2009 by almost 30% compared to the previous year. In 2010, the number of civilian deaths caused by pro-government forces again declined by over 20% compared to 2009. Thus, ISAF has been ready to give the protection of civilians a higher priority, even though these measures entailed additional risks for its troops.
Translation - French Les nouvelles consignes et directives ont réussi quelque peu à réduire le nombre de victimes civiles. Les forces internationales en situation de combat ont commencé à avoir moins recours aux renforts aériens, et lorsqu’elles le font, leurs demandes sont plus fréquemment refusées. Selon les chiffres de la MANUA, le nombre total de victimes civiles attribuées aux forces pro-gouvernementales (à savoir les forces de sécurité afghanes et la présence militaire internationale) a diminué en 2009 de près de 30%, en comparaison avec l’année précédente. En 2010, le nombre de victimes civiles dues aux forces pro-gouvernementales a de nouveau baissé de plus de 20%, en comparaison avec 2009. De la sorte, l’ISAF est prête à accorder une plus grande priorité à la protection des civils, même si ces mesures entraînent des risques supplémentaires pour ses troupes.

Source text - Italian Ben presto si manifesta in lui la passione per il disegno. Copia immagini. Suo padre non sopporta di vedere il figlio dedicarsi a quell'attività che prende sempre più spazio nella vita del giovanotto. Sua madre muore di tubercolosi all'età di trentotto anni. Lui ha nove anni. Rimane inconsolabile. Il nuovo matrimonio del padre, qualche anno dopo, rende la perdita ancora più dolorosa. Si fa più vivo il fascino per l'arte. Cresce la violenza familiare. Sono sempre più frequenti i castighi corporali su quel figlio che vuole diventare pittore. A sedici anni, fugge e lascia definitivamente la famiglia. Inizia il suo apprendimento artistico a Rio, Bahia, Sao Paulo dove espone le sue opere. Sono rapidamente radicate nella vita sociale della popolazione afro-brasiliana: balli popolari, favelas, ritratti dei ridotti al silenzio, l'inesistenza nell'oppressione e la miseria ai margini della società brasiliana.
Translation - French Très tôt, sa passion pour le dessin se manifeste. Il copie des images. Son père ne supporte pas de voir son fils se livrer à cette activité qui prend de plus en plus d'importance dans la vie du jeune garçon. Sa mère, à l'âge de trente huit ans, meurt de la tuberculose. Il a neuf ans. Il reste inconsolable. Le remariage de son père, quelques années plus tard, rend cette perte encore plus douloureuse. Son attirance vers l'art s'aiguise, la violence familiale également. Les châtiments corporels exercés sur ce fils qui veut devenir peintre, sont de plus en plus fréquents. A seize ans, il s'enfuit, quitte définitivement sa famille. Il commence son apprentissage artistique à Rio, Bahia, Sao Paulo où il expose ses oeuvres qui s'enracinent dans la vie sociale de la population afro-brésilienne : bals populaires, favellas, portraits de ceux réduits au silence, l'inexistence dans l'oppression et la misère en marge de la société brésilienne.
