  • Fråga-Svar Afghanistan. Resväg Mellan Kabul Och Ghazni
    2015-09-03 Fråga-svar Afghanistan. Resväg mellan Kabul och Ghazni Fråga - Går det flyg mellan Kabul och Ghazni? - Är resvägen mellan Kabul och Ghazni säker för hazarer? - Finns det några organisationer i landet som kan bistå andra med t.ex. eskort för att göra resan säker? - Hur kan underåriga ta sig fram? Svar Nedan följer en sammanställning av information från olika källor. Sammanställningen gör inte anspråk på att vara uttömmande. Refererade dokument bör alltid läsas i sitt sammanhang. Vad gäller säkra resvägar så kan läget snabbt förändras. Vad som gällde då nedanstående dokument skrevs gäller kanske inte idag! Austalia Refugee Review Tribunal (May 2015): Domen handlar om en hazar från Ghazni som under lång tid levt som flykting i Iran. Underlaget till beslutet beskriver situationen angående resvägar i Afghanistan speciellt i provinsen Ghazni. Se utdrag nedan: 33. DFAT’s 2014 Report statcontains the following in relation to road security in Afghanistan: Insecurity compounds the poor condition of Afghanistan’s limited road network, particularly those roads that pass through areas contested by insurgents. Taliban and criminal elements target the national highway and secondary roads, setting up arbitrary armed checkpoints. Sida 1 av 8 Official ANP and ANA checkpoints designed to secure the road are sometimes operated by poorly-trained officers known to use violence to extort bribes. More broadly, criminals and insurgents on roads target all ethnic groups, sometimes including kidnapping for ransom. It is often difficult to separate criminality (such as extortion) from insurgent activity. Individuals working for, supporting or associated with the Government and the international community are at high risk of violence perpetrated by insurgents on roads in Afghanistan.

  • The Causes of the First Anglo-Afghan War
    wbhr 1|2012 The Causes of the First Anglo-Afghan War JIŘÍ KÁRNÍK Afghanistan is a beautiful, but savage and hostile country. There are no resources, no huge market for selling goods and the inhabitants are poor. So the obvious question is: Why did this country become a tar- get of aggression of the biggest powers in the world? I would like to an- swer this question at least in the first case, when Great Britain invaded Afghanistan in 1839. This year is important; it started the line of con- flicts, which affected Afghanistan in the 19th and 20th century and as we can see now, American soldiers are still in Afghanistan, the conflicts have not yet ended. The history of Afghanistan as an independent country starts in the middle of the 18th century. The first and for a long time the last man, who united the biggest centres of power in Afghanistan (Kandahar, Herat and Kabul) was the commander of Afghan cavalrymen in the Persian Army, Ahmad Shah Durrani. He took advantage of the struggle of suc- cession after the death of Nāder Shāh Afshār, and until 1750, he ruled over all of Afghanistan.1 His power depended on the money he could give to not so loyal chieftains of many Afghan tribes, which he gained through aggression toward India and Persia. After his death, the power of the house of Durrani started to decrease. His heirs were not able to keep the power without raids into other countries. In addition the ruler usually had wives from all of the important tribes, so after the death of the Shah, there were always bloody fights of succession.

  • Briefing Notes KW24 2021
    Briefing Notes Group 62 – Information Centre for Asylum and Migration 14 June 2021 Afghanistan Taliban cooperate with al-Qaeda / ISKP still active in the country As reported by LongWarJournal on 07.06.21, the UN Sanctions Monitoring Team published a new report on insurgents/Islamists in Afghanistan on 01.06.21. According to the report, the Taliban still maintain good connections to al-Qaeda in the country, especially through the Haqqani network, whose members have married into al-Qaeda families, amongst other things. In addition, Sirajuddin Haqqani is a leading figure within al-Qaeda, but not of the al Qaeda core leadership (the Hattin Shura), the report says. Al-Qaeda is active in 15 Afghan provinces, despite the Taliban's claims to the contrary, and is led by its Jahbat al-Nasr wing, the report continues. Both the al- Qaeda leadership and that of al-Qaeda in the Indian subcontinent (AQIS), including the leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, are based in the border region with Pakistan. Besides, the Taliban are in control of 280 mining locations across 26 provinces (government control: 281 locations across 16 provinces; warlord control: 148 location across 12 provinces) and had gained about $450 million profit from them last year, the report continues. Despite its defeats in Kunar and Nangarhar, the ISKP also remains a threat, being still active in small cells (about 1,500-2,200 fighters) in the two provinces; other fighters (Tajiks, Uzbeks) are also active in Badakhshan, Kunduz, Balkh and Sar-e Pul, the report says. Taliban: more districts captured Reports of 09.06.21 say that the Afghan parliament has confirmed the capture of several districts by the Taliban in the last two months: Jond district in Badghis, Barka in Baghlan, Nerkh and Jalrez in Maidan Wardak, Dawlat Shah in Laghman, Qaisar in Faryab, Gizab in Uruzgan, and Sharak in Ghor.

  • Indo-Pacific
    INDO-PACIFIC Increased Attacks in Afghanistan Post US-Taliban Peace Deal OE Watch Commentary: On 2 June, the Wazir Akbar Khan Mosque in Kabul was the target of a terrorist attack, and as the accompanying excerpted articles report, the incident was the latest in a series of attacks in Afghanistan following the agreement with the US. The article from Tolo News, a privately-owned daily publication headquartered in Kabul, reports on the mosque attack, which resulted in the death of two people, including Dr. Mohammad Ayaz Niazi, “a national and regional figure” in the country’s education system. The mosque, which sits in a high-security area near the offices of several international organizations and embassies, is one of the city’s most famous places of worship. Niazi, who repeatedly took a stand against terrorist attacks, spoke out against the severity of recent terrorist attacks just a week before his death. He pointed out that within the last three months, the country’s coronavirus casualty count had reached approximately 227 deaths, yet the nation continues to suffer the same number of casualties to war on daily basis. While the Islamic State has since taken responsibility for the 2 June attack, the violence in the Afghan capital came after a recent road side bomb explosion which took the lives of seven civilians in the Khan Abad district of Kunduz province, an area which has reportedly been under control of the Taliban. This attack was later blamed on the Taliban despite the Taliban denying any involvement in this attack. The Kabul mosque attack also follows the gruesome attack on one of Kabul’s busiest hospitals, which targeted a maternity ward run by Doctors Without Borders, killing 24 people, including newborns, their mothers, and health care workers.

  • Afghanistan: DABS Kandahar
    PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS BRIEFS Afghanistan: DABS Kandahar Photo: Ahmad Shah Sahil Overview Afghanistan’s national power utility, Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS), is responsible for providing power generation, transmission, and distribution services across the coun- try. Following its incorporation in 2008, DABS struggled to provide sustainable service, particularly in the south of Afghanistan. To help address this, DABS hired IFC as the lead advisor on a performance-based public-private partnership (PPP) for one of its regional divisions. The PPP agreement was signed in August 2014. Power Generation Solutions, headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in coordina- tion with Afghanistan Holding Group, a local Afghan company, won the bid for a 4-year management support contract to improve the financial and operational performance of DABS’ Kandahar Operations Center (KOC), its regional division responsible for the provinces of Kandahar, Helmand, Uruzgan, and Zabul. The winning proposal mobilized $27.5 million in grant funding from the United States Agency for International Develop- ment (USAID) to support contractor fees and additional network investment. The project is expected to provide improved electricity services to 300,000 people and over 10,000 businesses across the four provinces. The advisory work was supported by the United States Agency for International Development. This series showcases how the World Bank Group supports the development and implementation of public-private partnerships. This support comes in the form of public sector loans, private sector finance, sector and transaction advice, guarantees, and output-based aid.

A man searches for the bodies of his relatives inside the ruins of the Médecins Sans Frontières hospital in Kunduz city.

"Citizens of Kunduz were subjected to a horrifying ordeal. The street by street fighting coupled with a breakdown of the rule of law created an environment where civilians were subjected to shooting, other forms of violence, abductions, denial of medical care and restrictions of movement out of the city.” Nicholas Haysom, United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Afghanistan, Kabul, 25 October 2015. “This event was utterly tragic, inexcusable, and possibly even criminal. International and Afghan military planners have an obligation to respect and protect civilians at all times, and medical facilities and personnel are the object of a special protection. These obligations apply no matter whose air force is involved, and irrespective of the location."
