    End of year report (2018) about Mujahideen progress and territory control: The Year of Collapse of Trump’s Strategy 2018 was a year that began with intense bombardments, military operations and propaganda by the American invaders but all praise belongs to Allah, it ended with the neutralization of another enemy strategy. The Mujahideen defended valiantly, used their chests as shields against enemy onslaughts and in the end due to divine assistance, the invaders were forced to review their war strategy. This report is based on precise data collected from concerned areas and verified by primary sources, leaving no room for suspicious or inaccurate information. In the year 2018, a total of 10638 attacks were carried out by Mujahideen against invaders and their hirelings from which 31 were martyr operations which resulted in the death of 249 US and other invading troops and injuries to 153 along with death toll of 22594 inflicted on Kabul administration troops, intelligence operatives, commandos, police and Arbakis with a further 14063 sustaining injuries.

    Voices from the borderlands 2020 Illicit drugs, development and peacebuilding About Voices from the borderlands 2020 Voices from the borderlands 2020 is the flagship publication of Drugs & (dis)order, a four-year research project generating new evidence on how to transform illicit drug economies into peace economies. It aims to bring to light some of the experiences and perspectives we have been hearing in our fieldwork across seven drug- and conflict-affected borderlands of Afghanistan, Colombia and Myanmar. It is intended for a broad audience of researchers, practitioners and policymakers working on issues related to drugs, development and peacebuilding. The testimonies in this report offer valuable insights into how illicit drugs – and drug policies – impact the dynamics of violence and peace, poverty and development, and insecurity and resilience. Acknowledgements Voices from the borderlands 2020 has been prepared by members of the Drugs & (dis)order team, led by Jonathan Goodhand, Patrick Meehan, Frances Thomson, Maziyar Ghiabi and Louise Ball (SOAS University of London).

Only the NR recorded a decrease, and the WR, ER, CR and CHR recorded consistent levels of activity. The types of incidents recorded returned to normal patterns, with armed clashes and IEDs accounting for two thirds of all reports. Incidents initiated by security forces, particularly air strikes, arrests and cache finds, remained high. No suicide attacks occurred during the week, though one potential suicide bomber was arrested in Kabul Province and in a separate incident also in Kabul five suicide vests were seized. Insurgents continued targeting of the civilian population; though in slightly lower numbers than last week. No incidents directly affected UN staff members; an additional six incidents affected the aid community. In the NR, armed men attempted to abduct a doctor, but failed when a nearby police patrol intervened. A civilian truck driver transporting UN materials was abducted in the WR. Also in the WR, a police officer attempted to assault an NGO staff member, others nearby intervened and the policeman was arrested. In the ER, three trucks transporting medical equipment were stolen; two have since been returned after intervention by local elders however the location of the third remains unknown. An IED detonated in a clinic in Khost, wounding three civilians including two children. In Logar, AGE entered an NGO run clinic, stole some medicine and equipment and set one room on fire.
