Hence Kunduz Government authorities have requested the TAAC NR / IMF for provision area in Kunduz. of tent for IDPs and likely IDP camp. UNHCR has already requested the TAAC NR to suspend supply of tents for Kunduz now. The HRT entirely disagreed with idea of IDP Camp establishment. As this will attract thousands of other IDPs to join the camp, thus management of the camp in a sustainable manner, security as well as protection of IDPs would be the main concerns. Currently in Dashte Abdan areas at the university building there are 724 IDP families mainly from 3 ethnic group and this location is very away from social services Health, eduction and market. The Government is willing either to establish the IDP Camp in the current area or close to the Kunduz Airport. Number of families in Dashti Abdnan has reportedly increased to 823; distribution of food and core relief items foreseen for next week for 724 families; assessment for new families will start soon; The Humanitarian regional team came to the same consensus that all options should be explored to avoid the establishment of a camp: there are security concerns. Health concerns and sustainability concerns. Families should be allowed to find solutions in nearby villages and Kunduz urban areas with relatives or rented accommodations. There is no capacity also among humanitarian actors to support a mid/long term camp management; A camp setting may trigger more families to find shelter in the same location, therefore increasing the likelihood of above mentioned risks; Assistance provided by authorities and/or security enforcement agencies should remain separated from the assistance provided by humanitarian organisations to ensure the neutrality, independency and safety of the humanitarian partners. Also authorities will be informed of the risks entailed in conducting distribution of similar items by different actors for the same caseload. New displacement from Dashti Archi was also recorded: reportedly 270 families recently arrived in Kunduz and submitted petitions. OCHA explained that currently conflict is going on in Dashe Archi and outskirts of Kunduz center. Reportedly hundreds of civilians displaced within Dashte Archi district inaccessible for all 3 humanitarian partners including ARCS and ICRC. Also the DoRR Kunduz has recorded petition of 270 new IDP families from Dashte Archi who currently settle in Kunduz centre. Also the conflict in Dandi Ghori has re‐started and the DoRR has registered petition from some 400 new IDP families. In the light of above explanation the HRT members requested OCHA to officially request the Humanitarian partners to replenish their food and NFI stock so to ensure there is adequate and timely response for IDPs. OCHA also requested partners for prepositioning of food and NFI stock in Kunduz centre at least for 500 families. However some concerns were raised on warehousing and partners capacity for this purpose. Hence OCHA was requested to follow up with partners on availability of warehouse and inform humanitarian partners accordingly. MACCA raised concern over unawareness of Jawzjan PG on response to the recent IDPs in Jawzjan province. OCHA will follow up with ANDMA and DoRR so they brief the PG on this issue. Also MACCA reported that more than 600 conflict families displaced in Qushtepa district of Jawzjan province according to Jawzjan PG. OCHA also received this information from DoRR. The DoRR Jawzjan referred this caseload to ARCS for assessment and response as this area is inaccessible for the rest of humanitarian organizations. 6 Cluster / OCT Protection: OCHA to follow Update Main concerns of protection cluster includes quality of screening IDPs petitions in the IDP Screening up with partners Committees as well as revision of TOR of these committees. in Kudnuz to The IMC has recently started the Women Friendly Spaces in Mazar‐e‐Sharif, Pul‐e‐Khumri, Kunduz identify the and Taloqan city. Hence the GBV survivors received GBV response services during emergencies warehousing through women spaces and outreach in the above‐mentioned locations. capacity for both UNHCR requested the IMC to send mobile teams for Women Friendly space as the fixed spaces will food and NFI in trigger the establishment of IDP camp. Kunduz center UNHCR reported on new displacement of some 100 families from Warduj district to Baharak district and inform the of Badakhshan province. As per unconfirmed reports the houses of the IDPs have been burnt. HRT accordingly. ES‐NFI: UNHCR has got offline stock for 500 families in Maymana centre of Faryab and 500 families in NRC to follow up Faizabad, Badakhshan province. UNHCR is planning to cover the NFI needs of 154 verified IDP on shelter needs families through the existing offline stock in Maymana. of IDPs in Sar‐e‐ NFI for 724 new IDP families in Kunduz: UNICEF (480), NRC (160) and UNHCR (84) provided Pul as requested OCHA reported unavailability of NFI for 600 IDP families in Pul‐e‐Khumri – Baghlan now. As such the in the OCT humanitarian team in Baghlan agreed to have the distribution of both food and NFI after 4 April meeting. when the UNHCR NFI can be replenished by Kabul. 4 Recommended to preposition food and NFI in Kunduz and Faryab provinces at least for 500 families to ensure timely assistance for new IDPs. It was discussed that the prepositioned stock should be used only for the most vulnerable IDPs, such as IDPs who live in the open and not with relatives / friends in the place of displacement. UNHCR reported that the WG on Assessment has resumed its activities and we expect the standard assessment format soon. FSAC: The FSAC cluster will be starting the pre‐harvest assessment will start in April. The pre‐harvest assessment will be targeting a total of 70 districts across the country. 2 districts are targeted per province with exception of 4 districts in Badakhshan province. FEWS NET will be covering 11 provinces, WFP 16 provinces and FAO 7 provinces in the country. The selection of districts for this exercise is based on NRVA and IPC. WFP food delivery for 1,586 IDP families in NR NER including 724 IDP families of Kunduz will start on 03 April. OCHA requested WFP to expedite the dispatch food particularly for new IDPs in Dashte Abdan area as they are in urgent food need and the NFI distribution is pending to the arrival of food assistance. FSAC conducted training on Proposal Writing for 44 participants from various humanitarian partners. WASH: DACAAR participated in the needs assessment of IDPs in Pul‐e‐Khumri center of Baghlan province during 21‐28 Feb.

  • UN Department of Safety and Security, Afghanistan
    SIOC – Afghanistan: UNITED NATIONS CONFIDENTIAL UN Department of Safety and Security, Afghanistan Security Situation Report, Week 41 8 – 14 October 2010 JOINT WEEKLY SECURITY ANALYSIS The number of security incidents decreased slightly compared with the previous weeks, with only the NR and SER recording increases. The increase in activity in the NR, particularly the continued deterioration of the situation along the main highways in Balkh, Jawzjan and Saripul, is severely hampering program delivery in the area. The types of incidents recorded during the week shifted slightly, with decreased armed clashes, particularly noted in the SR, ER and CR, while IED incidents remained consistent with the previous reporting period. Incidents initiated by security forces, particularly air strikes, arrests and cache finds, increased. These operations resulted in the death of several mid level insurgent leaders in Kunduz and Badghis as well as the arrest of two potential suicide attackers in Paktya. Suicide attacks also increased, including the first such attack ever recorded in Ghor Province. Insurgents increased targeting of the civilian population, specifically increased intimidation incidents and assassinations. The renewal of ISAF’s mandate by the UN Security Council prompted a response by Taliban on their website condemning the decision. While no incidents directly affected UN staff members, seven incidents affected the aid community. In Gulran District of Hirat Province, four separate robberies of UN food occurred, two convoys were robbed and food items were stolen from a school and a clinic. Two national staff of an INGO were shot and wounded by unknown gunmen in Faryab, and one NGO guard was abducted in the WR.

These elections were the first to be fully led and organised by the Afghanistan Independent Election Commission (IEC) and the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) took the lead in providing security for the elections. It was also the first time that arrangements were made for prisoners and hospitalised citizens, to cast their votes. The steady increase of security-related incidents by Anti-Government Elements (AGEs) was a dominant factor in the preparation and holding of the elections. Despite commendable efforts from the ANSF, insecurity had a bearing on the decision of Afghans to participate in the elections Polling day recorded the highest number of attacks and other forms of intimidation for some 15 years.

  • Qari Hekmat's Island Overrun: Taleban Defeat 'ISKP' in Jawzjan
    Qari Hekmat’s Island Overrun: Taleban defeat ‘ISKP’ in Jawzjan Author : Obaid Ali Published: 4 August 2018 Downloaded: 5 September 2018 Download URL: https://www.afghanistan-analysts.org/qari-hekmats-island-overrun-taleban-defeat-iskp-in-jawzjan/?format=pdf The Taleban have eliminated the self-proclaimed Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) group that had been holding an enclave of territory in the isolated districts of Qush Tepa and Darzab in Jawzjan province for the last three years. It was the only ISKP-aligned group with territorial control outside the east of Afghanistan. The group failed to withstand a concerted, month-long offensive by the Taleban. In the end in an unexpected turn of events, reports AAN’s Obaid Ali (with input from Thomas Ruttig), most of their remaining fighters and leaders were rescued by the government. It has yet to say why it did this. For the past three years, Qush Tepa and Darzab districts have been strongholds for fighters claiming affiliation with ISKP (also known as Daesh in Afghanistan). Their original leader was Qari Hekmat, a disgruntled Taleban commander from Darzab who took his fighters over to ISKP in 2015 (read AAN analysis here and here). In this dispatch, we describe the group as ‘self- proclaimed ISKP’, rather than just ‘ISKP’ because we have found no solid evidence to claim 1 / 6 the group had connection with ISKP in Nangarhar province. The ISKP there is recognised by ‘Daesh central’ in Syria and Iraq as a branch. Qari Hekmat’s fighters were largely Uzbek and Tajik, with a small number of Pashtuns and some foreign (Central Asian) fighters.

  • Afghanistan Flash Flood Situation Report2 1 May 2014 (Covering 24-30 April)
    Afghanistan Flash Flood Situation Report2 1 May 2014 (covering 24-30 April) Situation Overview: Heavy rainfall between 24 and 30 April caused flash floods in ten northern, northeastern and western provinces. Initial reports obtained from provincial authorities indicate that 141 people have lost their lives and many others are still missing. In addition, the flooding has displaced more than 2,100 families and negatively impacted more than 9,000 families . The flooding also resulted in the destruction of public facilities, roads, and thousands of hectares of agricultural land and gardens. IOM, in close coordination with the Afghan National Disaster Management Authority (ANDMA) and Provincial Disaster Management Committee (PDMC) members, mobilized to the affected areas for rapid joint assessments in order to verify the emergency needs of the flood-hit communities. Based on the findings of these assessments, IOM and partners are carrying out interventions for the affected families. Northern Region: Jawzjan Province (UPDATE): An emergency PDMC meeting was convened on 25 April, and a crisis management team was established by government authorities to coordinate assessment and relief efforts. Several assessment teams, comprised of IOM, UN, I/NGO, and government representatives, were deployed to the affected areas. Initial information obtained from district authorities and from the joint assessment indicated that more than 3,700 families were severely affected, 2,100 families were displaced and 87 people reportedly killed in Khwaja Du Koh, Qush Tepa and Darzab districts. 1. Khwaja Du Koh District (UPDATE): A joint assessment team comprised of IOM, WHH, Save the Children, TearFund, PIN, Care International, ZOA, WFP, Action Aid and ANDMA mobilized to the affected area on 25 April and verified the exact number of displaced families with their needs.

  • 19 Sep 2010 Rc-North
    NATO RESTRICTED /I FOUO REL UNDSS IDC Weekly Security Narrative: Week of 13 SEP -19 SEP 2010 RC-NORTH: 1. General Assessment of RC-N AOR The number of enemy initiated events in RC-N increased significantly (75 events this week versus 41 last week) when compared to the previous reporting period. RC-N has seen a steady rise in enemy initiated activity over th e last several weeks, but this was by far the most significant increase. Of course , this can be attributed to the elections on 18 SEP but there seems little doubt that insurgent leaders are making a concerted and de liberate effort to destabilize the previously (relatively) secure northern portion of the country. Nearly half of these events (37) were direct fire events, continuing a shift from previous weeks when incidents were more often related to lEO emplacements. Indeed, lED events were infrequent this week as insurgents relied more on the use of direct attacks, ambushes and the use of the indirect fire to disrupt CF and ANSF operations, as well as the elections. Overall and as usual, Kunduz and Baghlan Provinces saw the vast majority of the attacks in RC-N. However, the Dowlatabad and Qaisar regions of Faryab Province relurned to their normally very active state, and the western region of 8alkh Province saw a significant rise in activity. There were also major events in normally stable 8adakhshan Province. While throughout the country, there was a modest rise in the level of Election Day violence over last year's presidential election, but the increase in the north was substantial, further suggesting this reg ion 's growing importance to the in surgency.
