  • Human Conflict and Animal Welfare Lecture Notes
    Module 28 Human Conflict and Animal Welfare Lecture Notes Slide 1: This lecture was first developed for World Animal Protection by Dr David Main (University of Bristol) in 2003. It was revised by World Animal Protection scientific advisors in 2012 using updates provided by Dr Caroline Hewson. Slide 2: This module will introduce you to the ways in which collective human conflict affects animals. By human conflict, we mean fighting or war in a very broad sense, not domestic violence or aggression between private individuals. We will start by clarifying terminology because there are different kinds of human conflict. We will then focus on how animals may be affected by conflict. That is: • the ways in which animals are affected when conflict occurs in the region where they live • the ways in which animals are used actively in a conflict or the planning for conflict. We will conclude with examples of how we can help to improve animal welfare in areas where there is conflict. Slide 3: Starting with terminology: the Department of Peace and Conflict Research at Uppsala University in Sweden provides the online UCDP Conflict Encyclopedia. The following definitions are taken from there. Conflict has several characteristics, shown on the slide: • there is disagreement between at least two parties • the demands of each side cannot be met by the same resources at the same time. Typically, the resource is territory which contains a commodity needed for economic survival and growth, e.g. grazing for livestock; oil; minerals; water • the parties use armed force to solve their disagreement • this causes at least 25 battle-related human deaths in one year.

  • The Road to Afghanistan
    Introduction Hundreds of books—memoirs, histories, fiction, poetry, chronicles of military units, and journalistic essays—have been written about the Soviet war in Afghanistan. If the topic has not yet been entirely exhausted, it certainly has been very well documented. But what led up to the invasion? How was the decision to bring troops into Afghanistan made? What was the basis for the decision? Who opposed the intervention and who had the final word? And what kind of mystical country is this that lures, with an almost maniacal insistence, the most powerful world states into its snares? In the nineteenth and early twentieth century it was the British, in the 1980s it was the Soviet Union, and now America and its allies continue the legacy. Impoverished and incredibly backward Afghanistan, strange as it may seem, is not just a normal country. Due to its strategically important location in the center of Asia, the mountainous country has long been in the sights of more than its immediate neighbors. But woe to anyone who arrives there with weapon in hand, hoping for an easy gain—the barefoot and illiterate Afghans consistently bury the hopes of the strange foreign soldiers who arrive along with battalions of tanks and strategic bombers. To understand Afghanistan is to see into your own future. To comprehend what happened there, what happens there continually, is to avoid great tragedy. One of the critical moments in the modern history of Afghanistan is the period from April 27, 1978, when the “April Revolution” took place in Kabul and the leftist People’s Democratic Party seized control of the country, until December 27, 1979, when Soviet special forces, obeying their “international duty,” eliminated the ruling leader and installed 1 another leader of the same party in his place.

Herat area, 2018, members of the Taliban belonging to the Mullah Niazi group inside the Mullah’s stronghold. After 20 years, the country’s old regime is back In Afghanistan the year 2021 marks the 20th anniversary of the 2001 war which was supposed to topple the Taliban regime. These last two decades coincide with the childhood and adolescence of the country’s younger generation. For the past 30 years, since the last Soviet soldier left Afghanistan after a decade of occupation, the country has known only conflict, terror and instability. The population has endured a long civil war, an oppressive regime, another invasion in 2001, and has heard an endless number of announcements about reconstruction plans, troop surges, exit strategies, peace conferences and political deals which would finally bring peace to their exhausted land. The latest of these deals was reached in Qatar in 2020, between the U.S. and the same people – the Taliban – which the Coalition forces fought 20 years ago. And now that the U.S. has pulled its last troops out of the country, the Taliban are finallly back to full power, fulfilling the prophecy that one of their leaders, the deceased Mullah Omar, once made to the Americans: “You have all the watches, but we have all the time”. Not much has changed since that last Soviet soldier left in 1989. And with the Taliban regime at the helm of the country, it is not yet clear whether, and how, anything will change in the near future.

  • Chronology of Events in Afghanistan, December 2003*
    Chronology of Events in Afghanistan, December 2003* December 1 Afghans begin registering for first elections. (Reuters) The United Nations has begun registering the first of an estimated 10.5 million Afghans expected to vote in their country's first free elections in 2004. The registration process began in the city of Kandahar on November 30 and was extended to seven other cities, including Kabul on December 1, said Catarina Fabiansson, spokeswoman for the U.N. election office in Afghanistan. All Afghans aged over 18 by June 20, 2004, are qualified to register to elect a national president in the elections, which are due to be held in June 2004. There will be separate registration sites for men and women. Fabiansson said most of those to register initially will be the 19,000 district representatives who have the job of electing a Loya Jirga, or Grand Assembly, due to meet from December 10 to approve a new constitution. Ordinary people would have the chance to register in the towns of Bamiyan and Herat, and general registration would be extended to other cities in December. Fabiansson said the project would be extended to the provinces, then to villages and was expected to be completed by early 2004. Former regional Taliban official arrested in Jalalabad. (Associated Press / AP) A man who served as a regional police commander in Afghanistan during the Taliban regime was arrested for alleged involvement in attacks against Afghan forces, an official said. Maulvi Sahib-ul Haq was arrested in Jalalabad, the capital of the province of Nangarhar, by Afghan security forces, said Ziauddin, an Afghan intelligence official.

  • The Boxers of Kabul: Women, Boxing and Islam
    The Boxers of Kabul: Women, Boxing and Islam Hillary Kipnis and Dr Jayne Caudwell University of Brighton Introduction In this chapter we focus on women who box, in particular Muslim women who box. Within Sport Studies and the Sociology of Sport there is limited discussion of this topic; Mitra (2009) offers one of few accounts. In the literature, there exist broader discussions surrounding women, Islam and sport and/or physical activity (cf. Benn et al., 2010; Hargreaves, 2001; Kay, 2006; Walseth and Fasting, 2003), as well as analyses related to the histories of women boxers (Hargreaves, 1997; van Ingen, 2013), women’s boxing bodies (Halbert, 1997; Mennesson, 2000), boxing uniforms (van Ingen and Kovacs, 2012), boxing and the Olympics (Lindner, 2012), and women boxers in film (Boyle et al., 2006; Caudwell, 2008; Fojas, 2009). Many of these contributions take a feminist perspective to the sport of boxing. The 2012 London Olympics provides a watershed moment, globally, for women’s entitlement to box. Until very recently, numerous national and international governing bodies of boxing ruled against providing the opportunity for women and girls to box. In 1988, the Swedish Amateur Boxing Association was one of the first to withdraw bans and sanctions against women and girls. The UK was slow to follow and the case of Jane Couch MBE, a decade later, illustrates the depth of sexism involved. On 15th August, 1998, Couch successfully reversed— via an industrial tribunal—the British Boxing Board of Control ruling that refused her a boxing license on the grounds that premenstrual syndrome made women ‘unsuitable’.

  • Marjan's Tooth
    Marjan’s Tooth by Tom Maremaa You are a Sufi when your heart is as soft and warm as wool. ~ A traditional Sufi saying 1. Reaching Our Destination At Last The plane landed hard and we bounced up and down on the short runway, peeling rubber, engines roaring in reverse, until we finally came to a complete, screaming halt. My head lunged forward, then recoiled. Everybody bolted awake from the dead of night. We had reached our destination, as planned. I stood up, stretching my arms and legs, then grabbed my duffel bag from the overhead rack and threw it over my shoulder. Leaving the plane on the way out, I saluted and thanked the captain for bringing us here safely; he smiled and wished us luck because, as he said, we were “sure to need it.” When my feet touched the ground on the tarmac at Bagram I cannot begin to describe the feeling I had. It was as if God had spoken to me directly, whispering in the cold mountain air: “Son of Marjan, I welcome you.” The feeling took hold and overcame my body, causing me to tremble and shake in my boots. I had come home, at last. To the land of my ancestors. This is where my father, a warrior in the armies of the Northern Alliance, had conceived me, before his death at the hands of the Taliban; where my mother, a United Nations aide worker in her prime, had fled to Germany and given birth to me. She had named me Marjan, after my father and in honor of the great lion in the Kabul zoo who had suffered brutally because of the Taliban's pathological hatred and neglect of all animals.

    New life at Kabul zoo for lion who lived on a rooftop 19 March 2014, by Sardar Ahmad Afghanistan's national survival after living through coups, invasions, civil war and the hardline Taliban era before dying in 2002. The first Marjan, born in 1976, was blinded by a grenade thrown by a vengeful soldier whose brother had been killed after entering his cage. The new Marjan made headlines around the world when AFP found him last year, living on the roof of a compound in the upmarket Taimani district of the capital. Marjan the lion looks out from his cage at the Kabul Zoo in Afghanistan on March 18, 2014 Kabul zoo unveiled its new star attraction—Marjan the lion, who lived on a rooftop in the city until rescued by animal welfare officials last year when close to death. A businessman in the war-torn Afghan capital had bought the male lion cub as a status symbol for $20,000 and kept his pet on a roof terrace. But the fast-growing animal was seriously ill when Kabul municipal officials tracked him down last October. "We found him in a very dire condition. He was almost dead. He couldn't move, he couldn't even raise his head," veterinarian Abdul Qadir Bahawi told AFP on Tuesday. "We were not sure that he would survive. But our efforts paid off, and he is much better. Now he Marjan the lion looks out from his cage at the Kabul Zoo loves to play with us.

  • THAT SHEEP MAY SAFELY GRAZE Rebuilding Animal Health Care in War-Torn Afghanistan David M
    THAT SHEEP MAY SAFELY GRAZE Rebuilding Animal Health Care in War-Torn Afghanistan David M. Sherman The very mention of Afghanistan conjures images of war, international power politics, the opium trade, and widespread corruption. Yet the untold story of Afghanistan’s seemingly endless misfortune is the disruptive impact that prolonged conflict has had on ordinary rural Afghans, their culture, and the timeless relationship they share with their land and animals. In rural Afghanistan, when animals die, livelihoods are lost, families and communities suffer, and people may perish. That Sheep May Safely Graze details a determined effort, in the midst of war, to bring essential veterinary services to an agrarian society that depends day in and day out on the well-being and productivity of its animals, but which, because of decades of war and the disintegration of civil society, had no reliable access to even the most basic animal health care. The book describes how, in the face of many obstacles, a dedicated group of Afghan and expatriate veterinarians working for a small nongovernmental organization (NGO) in Kabul was able to create a national network of over 400 veterinary field units staffed by over 600 veterinary paraprofessionals. These paravets were selected by their own communities and then trained and outfitted by the NGO so that nearly every district in the country that needed basic veterinary services now has reliable access to such services. Most notably, over a decade after its inception and with Afghanistan still in free fall, this private sector, district-based animal health program remains vitally active. The community-based veterinary paraprofessionals continue to provide quality services New Directions in the to farmers and herders, protecting their animals from the ravages of disease and Human-Animal Bond improving their livelihoods, despite the political upheavals and instability that continue to plague the country.

  • Hosseini's Advocacy in the Kite Runner Binod Sapkota Lecturer
    https://doi.org/ 10.3126/batuk.v7i1.35347 THE BATUK : A Peer Reviewed Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies 65 Vol. 7, Issue No.1, January 2021, Page: 65-73 ISSN 2392-4802 Voicing the Voiceless: Hosseini's Advocacy in The Kite Runner Binod Sapkota Lecturer, Tribhuvan University Email: [email protected] Abstract In the novel The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini explores the contemporary history in the background of Afghanistan. The text paints an eye-opening picture of what Afghanistan was and what it has become, and vividly describes how the combination of war can devastate a country and people. In this light, this paper, using a New Historicist gaze,demonstrates that Hosseini's purpose in the novel is to account for how the decadence of war has rendered people powerless amidst of violence. Specifically, I argue that Hosseini by showing the predicament of the people of minority and the innocent advocates for their voice. The paper concludes that the wars of any forms become more damaging to the people of margin. Keywords: history, new historicism, margin, power, hegemony, minority In the recent history, the world noticed Afghanistan once the Soviet army overthrew Hafizullah Amin, who had pronounced himself as the leader of the Communist party “khalq” (people) and as the president of Afghanistan after eliminating his predecessor Noor Mohammad Tarakee, who had come to power throughout Soviet-backed coup more than a year earlier in 1977 (Barfield 97). Amin’s horrifying reign in the last months of 1978 was short-lived. It took the Soviets only five months to replace him with the exiled Babrak Karmal, who was the leader of the other Communist party “parcham” (the flag).
