Although there have been some spikes due to Islamic State
offensives or government campaigns the number of dead and wounded have been
going down since the peak during the summer of 2014.
The number of dead and wounded have recently been almost
even with even more deaths in March 2014 then injured. That points to the press
not adequately covering the entire country, but more importantly the government
not reporting casualties. Wounded are usually two to four times higher than
deaths.
The average number of attacks per day has actually been
going down since the start of 2014. That shows that despite occasional
offensives and counter attacks IS’s capabilities are actually declining.
