This process was made possible through a grant from UNDP ELECT. FEFA is grateful to UNDP ELECT staff for their support and coordination. This report acknowledges the hard work and commitment of 7137 FEFA observers, who served the cause of ensuring a transparent and credible electoral process through provision of regular and detailed information despite security threats. We dedicate this report to the developing civil society in our country. More importantly, we dedicate this effort to those families who lost their loved ones during the electoral process. We may not reduce their pain by doing so, but at least attempt at eternalizing the memories of the forerunners of the movement towards building a democratic Afghanistan. Message of the Chairman Considering the volatile circumstances under which these elections were conducted, the people of Afghanistan, those who despite serious threats, risked their lives and came out to vote deserve to be congratulated for this achievement. We stand in grief by those families who have lost loved ones during this process and urge our people not to give up. We emphasize the approach which treats this election not just as a technical event; it is critical to acknowledge the challenges it entailed as well as the bravery of the people of Afghanistan and vibrant campaigns amidst threats, abductions, murders and suicide bombings. The elections were flawed; the process however, was noble and opened up new opportunities for the strengthening of democracy. Executive Summary Afghanistan's second Presidential and Provincial Council Elections were held on August 20, 2009 and were administered by the Independent Election Commission of Afghanistan in six phases including the Voter Registration, Candidate Nomination, Campaign Period, Election Day, Tabulation and Result Verification, and Audit and Recount. The Free and Fair Election Foundation of Afghanistan (FEFA), observed all phases of the election process through the deployment of 7137 observers across Afghanistan, with the objective of ensuring a free, fair and transparent electoral process and promoting public participation in the election through greater awareness and information dissemination, thus help in building public confidence in the process and support the cause of democracy in Afghanistan. The 2009 election, as an exercise of democracy was conducted amidst serious security crisis. Lack of security not just hindered the smooth running of the election process from the administrative point of view, but also affected the scale and extent of activity of national and international observer organizations. To begin with, FEFA could only cover 60% of the country. Observers' inability to reach to all areas in Afghanistan was one of the factors affecting the transparency of the process as a whole. Furthermore, administrative, technical, communication and logistical problems faced by IEC and the ECC added to the questions of lack of independence of both the entities, thus paving the grounds for electoral offences, irregularities and violations to be committed by many including IEC and ECC local staff, senior government officials, members

    SIOC – Afghanistan: UNITED NATIONS CONFIDENTIAL UN Department of Safety and Security, Afghanistan Security Situation Report, Week 34, 20 – 26 August 2010 JOINT WEEKLY SECURITY ANALYSIS Countrywide security incidents continued to increase compared to the previous week with the NER, NR, SR and SER, recording higher levels of security incidents. In the ER a minor downward trend continues to be observed over the last three weeks, in the WR and CR records dropped. The dynamics along the south and south-eastern belt of the country vary again with the SR reasserting as the most volatile area. Security incidents were more widespread countrywide with the following provinces being the focus of the week: Kunduz, Baghlan in the NER; Faryab in the NR, Hirat in the WR, Kandahar and Helmand in the SR; Ghazni and Paktika in the SER and Kunar in the ER. Overall the majority of the incidents are initiated by insurgents and those related to armed conflict – armed clashes, IED attacks and stand off attacks - continue to account for the bulk of incidents. Reports of insurgents’ infiltration, re-supply and propaganda are recorded in the NR, SR, SER, ER and CR. These reports might corroborate assumptions that insurgents would profit from the Ramadan time to build up for an escalation into the election and pre-election days. The end of the week was dominated by the reporting of the violent demonstration against the IM base in Qala-i-Naw city following a shoot out at the entrance of the base. Potential for manipulation by the local Taliban and the vicinity of the UN compound to the affected area raised concerns on the security of the UN staff and resulted in the evacuation of the UN building.

  • Respons Afghanistan: Sikkerhetssituasjonen I Provinsen Uruzgan
    Respons Afghanistan: Sikkerhetssituasjonen i provinsen Uruzgan • Geografi, befolkning og konfliktkontekst • Konfliktdynamikk og konfliktnivå i provinsen • Sivile tap og skader som følge av konfliktrelatert vold • Internt fordrevne (IDPer) Innledning og kommentarer om kildegrunnlag Denne responsen er del av en serie notater og responser om sikkerhetssituasjonen i 15 ulike provinser i Afghanistan, som er under utarbeidelse av Landinfo høsten/vinteren 2016 og våren 2017 på oppdrag for Utlendingsdirektoratet (UDI). Responsen omhandler sikkerhetssituasjonen i Uruzgan-provinsen,1 og har et særlig fokus på situasjonen for sivilbefolkningen. Det er lagt spesiell vekt på siste halvdel av 2016 og første kvartal av 2017. Sikkerhetssituasjonen i Afghanistan er flytende og uoversiktlig, og kan endre seg raskt. Det er utfordrende å skaffe pålitelig informasjon og sammenlignende datamateriale over tid. Dette gjelder både for områder der det er pågående kamper og hvor tilgangen til kilder og informasjon er liten, og for områder der det generelt foreligger lite informasjon på grunn av områdets begrensede relevans i en større politisk, sikkerhets- eller samfunnsmessig kontekst. Landinfo benytter informasjon fra et bredt spekter av kilder; fra internasjonale og nasjonale organisasjoner, til myndigheter og media. Samtidig er det Landinfos erfaring at ved dybdeanalyse av enkelte provinser og spesifikke tema, kan det være vanskelig å få et så bredt kildegrunnlag som ønskelig. Av sikkerhetsmessige hensyn, er enkelte kilder anonymisert. Begrenset kildetilfang

  • Daily Situation Report 31 October 2010 Safety and Security Issues Relevant to Sssi Personnel and Clients
    Strategic SSI - Afghanistan DAILY SITUATION REPORT 31 OCTOBER 2010 SAFETY AND SECURITY ISSUES RELEVANT TO SSSI PERSONNEL AND CLIENTS STANDING THREAT ASSESSMENT (KABUL): Threat reports continue to indicate that insurgents aspire to conduct coordinated attacks in Kabul City, as such the threat remains extant. Recent threat reporting has also indicated likely reconnaissance of areas and businesses frequented by members of the international community. Although no significant attacks were carried out in Kabul during the recent parliamentary election, or indeed after the event, the recent reduction in physical security in the city may provide insurgents with exploitable opportunities to carry out attacks. Suicide and complex attacks remain the preferred choice for insurgents in order to gain maximum casualties figures and the associated high degree of media attention. It remains possible that insurgents will still seek to undermine the democratic process by conducting high profile attacks when the final results are announced at the end of October. It remains prudent for international agencies in the Kabul area to maintain a high degree of security vigilance. Sporadic IDF attacks in the city centre are to be expected. Any attacks are likely to consist of between one and four 107 mm rockets launched towards the city centre. Incidents of intimidation, executions by insurgents and targeting of government officials are increasing throughout the country. It seems to be a form of revenge by insurgents as they have lost more than 300 insurgent commanders over the past few months due to successful IM/ANSF operations.
