  • Making Sense of Daesh in Afghanistan: a Social Movement Perspective
    \ WORKING PAPER 6\ 2017 Making sense of Daesh in Afghanistan: A social movement perspective Katja Mielke \ BICC Nick Miszak \ TLO Joint publication by \ WORKING PAPER 6 \ 2017 MAKING SENSE OF DAESH IN AFGHANISTAN: A SOCIAL MOVEMENT PERSPECTIVE \ K. MIELKE & N. MISZAK SUMMARY So-called Islamic State (IS or Daesh) in Iraq and Syria is widely interpreted as a terrorist phenomenon. The proclamation in late January 2015 of a Wilayat Kho- rasan, which includes Afghanistan and Pakistan, as an IS branch is commonly interpreted as a manifestation of Daesh's global ambition to erect an Islamic caliphate. Its expansion implies hierarchical order, command structures and financial flows as well as a transnational mobility of fighters, arms and recruits between Syria and Iraq, on the one hand, and Afghanistan–Pakistan, on the other. In this Working Paper, we take a (new) social movement perspective to investigate the processes and underlying dynamics of Daesh’s emergence in different parts of the country. By employing social movement concepts, such as opportunity structures, coalition-building, resource mobilization and framing, we disentangle the different types of resource mobilization and long-term conflicts that have merged into the phenomenon of Daesh in Afghanistan. In dialogue with other approaches to terrorism studies as well as peace, civil war and security studies, our analysis focuses on relations and interactions among various actors in the Afghan-Pakistan region and their translocal networks. The insight builds on a ten-month fieldwork-based research project conducted in four regions—east, west, north-east and north Afghanistan—during 2016. We find that Daesh in Afghanistan is a context-specific phenomenon that manifests differently in the various regions across the country and is embedded in a long- term transformation of the religious, cultural and political landscape in the cross-border region of Afghanistan–Pakistan.

Since the military brought the first detainees to Guantánamo in January 2002, the Pentagon has consistently refused to comprehensively identify those it holds. While it has, at various times, released information about individuals who have been detained at Guantánamo, it has always maintained ambiguity about the population of the facility at any given moment, declining even to specify precisely the number of detainees held at the base. We have sought to identify the detainee population using a variety of records, mostly from habeas corpus litigation, and we have sorted the current population into subgroups using both the government’s allegations against detainees and detainee statements about their own affiliations and conduct.

  • Ni Romain, Ni Arabe, Moundar Bar Hareth, Roi Des Tayyés. Quand L'arabie Était Chrétienne
    Ni Romain, ni Arabe, Moundar bar Hareth, roi des Tayyés. Quand l'Arabie était chrétienne Mémoire Nicolas Asselin Maîtrise en études anciennes - avec mémoire Maître ès arts (M.A.) Québec, Canada © Nicolas Asselin, 2020 Ni Romain, ni Arabe, Moundar bar Hareth, roi des Tayyés. Quand l’Arabie était chrétienne Mémoire Nicolas Asselin Sous la direction de : Paul-Hubert Poirier, directeur de recherche Résumé Ce mémoire porte sur celui que nous avons cru être le dernier roi des Arabes chrétiens du territoire romain, Moundar bar Hareth. En cours de route, nous avons redécouvert le dernier roi des Tayyés romains, un peuple oublié, dont l’histoire est essentielle pour bien comprendre les débuts de l’islam. À partir des œuvres des chroniqueurs syriaques, plus particulièrement de l’histoire de Jean d’Amida, nous avons remonté la piste afin de comprendre l’importance du dernier monarque de la famille de Gabala. Via cet examen des sources, nous analyserons également le corpus grec et arabe pour saisir les aléas de ce peuple d’Arabie, entraînant au passage, la redécouverte d’une polémique intra-chrétienne très ancienne, l’ismaélisme. L’ensemble de cette recherche se veut une étude originale et novatrice des événements entourant la fin de l’alliance traditionnelle entre les Romains et les Tayyés, une histoire singulière pavée de trahisons et d’une crise religieuse insoupçonnée. Ni Romain, ni Arabe, Moundar bar Hareth est figure incontournable du 6e siècle de notre ère. Le présent travail se propose d’analyser le règne du grand roi, plus particulièrement de son aspect religieux, et se divise en quatre parties, les deux premières portant sur les appellations anciennes et la redécouverte du peuple Tayyé.

  • Requesting a Challenge Inspection Against Syria Under the Chemical Weapons Convention: Venturing Into Uncharted Territory
    STUDENT NOTE Requesting a Challenge Inspection Against Syria Under the Chemical Weapons Convention: Venturing into Uncharted Territory Jonathan E. Greengarden* INTRODUCTION On the evening of April 7, 2018, Syrian government helicopters circled above Douma, one of the last remaining rebel-held territories in Syria. 1 One of the heli- copters dropped a gas-cylinder bomb atop the balcony of a residential building,2 killing approximately 43 people and leaving more than 500 injured. 3 Upon impact, the bomb unleashed a haze of chlorine gas, permeating the entire building with the pungent smell of bleach, killing entire families in a matter of minutes, some of whom were only infants. 4 Once inhaled, chlorine mainly affects the re- spiratory tracts, causing air sacs in the lungs to secrete ¯uids, and ultimately causes the victim to drown in the resulting ¯uids, 5 leaving them foaming at the mouth and gasping for air.6 Due to the rampant bombing campaigns by the Assad regime, many of the remaining civilians in Syria have dug shelters beneath their homes for protection. Since chlorine turns into a gas once it is released, it becomes heavier than air and sinks to low-levels, 7 essentially turning these under- ground bunkers into death traps. Unfortunately, the chemical attack on April 7 was just one of the many devastating chemical attacks that have been ordered by 8 the Syrian government under the order of President Bashar al-Assad. * Jonathan E. Greengarden is a J.D. Candidate at Georgetown University Law Center, Class of 2020. He would like to express his deepest thanks to Professor David Koplow for his invaluable input, helpful guidance, and thoughtful comments on earlier drafts.

Summary • The Islamic State’s Khorasan province (IS-K) is led by a core of former Tehrik-e-Taliban Paki- stan commanders from Orakzai and Khyber Agencies of Pakistan; the majority of mid-level commanders are former Taliban from Nangarhar, with the rank and file a mixture of local Afghans, Pakistanis, and foreign jihadists mostly from Central Asia. • IS-K receives funding from the Islamic State’s Central Command and is in contact with lead- ership in Iraq and Syria, but the setup and day-to-day operations of the Khorasan province have been less closely controlled than other Islamic State branches such as that in Libya. • IS-K emerged in two separate locations in Afghanistan in 2014—the far eastern reaches of Nangarhar province along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, and Kajaki district of southern Helmand province.
