  • Articles Al-Qaida and the Pakistani Harakat Movement: Reflections and Questions About the Pre-2001 Period by Don Rassler
    PERSPECTIVES ON TERRORISM Volume 11, Issue 6 Articles Al-Qaida and the Pakistani Harakat Movement: Reflections and Questions about the pre-2001 Period by Don Rassler Abstract There has been a modest amount of progress made over the last two decades in piecing together the developments that led to creation of al-Qaida and how the group has evolved over the last 30 years. Yet, there are still many dimensions of al-Qaida that remain understudied, and likely as a result, poorly understood. One major gap are the dynamics and relationships that have underpinned al-Qaida’s multi-decade presence in Pakistan. The lack of developed and foundational work done on the al-Qaida-Pakistan linkage is quite surprising given how long al- Qaida has been active in the country, the mix of geographic areas - from Pakistan’s tribal areas to its main cities - in which it has operated and found shelter, and the key roles Pakistani al-Qaida operatives have played in the group over the last two decades. To push the ball forward and advance understanding of this critical issue, this article examines what is known, and has been suggested, about al-Qaida’s relations with a cluster of Deobandi militant groups consisting of Harakat ul-Mujahidin, Harakat ul-Jihad Islami, Harakat ul-Ansar, and Jaish-e-Muhammad, which have been collectively described as Pakistan’s Harakat movement, prior to 9/11. It finds that each of these groups and their leaders provided key elements of support to al-Qaida in a number of direct and indirect ways.

  • Mr. Ahmed Rashid Journalist Current Afghanistan-Pakistan Affairs
    JIIA Forum Summary of Lecture Friday, April 2, 2010 “Aso” Hall, The Tokai University Club, 35th Floor, Kasumigaseki Bldg Mr. Ahmed Rashid Journalist Current Afghanistan-Pakistan Affairs Introduction I would like to take this opportunity today to speak on three topics: the situation in Afghanistan, developments in Pakistan, and Japan’s policy toward Afghanistan. I will also include some policy suggestions with each of these. 1．The current situation in Afghanistan Recent years have seen a striking expansion of Taliban power in Afghanistan, and independent authoritative bodies that might well be termed “shadow governments” have been formed in 30 of the country’s 34 states. In fact, the situation differs greatly from that of the 1990s in that the Taliban have incited actions by Islamic fundamentalist groups across the region and that similar terrorist acts are being committed even in Central Asia and India. However, this expansion of Taliban power relies more on oppression, fear and terror than on popular support, reflecting the Karzai government’s limited capacity to implement policy as well as reduced aid from overseas. In other words, adequately thwarting the resurgence of the Taliban depends on Western strategy. Today’s situation could be seen as the cumulative result of strategic blunders, including the cut in aid and the slowdown in economic reconstruction in the wake of the war in Iraq, the greater effort focused by the Bush administration on bringing down Al Qaeda than the Taliban, the provision of safe havens to the Taliban by Pakistan, and the adverse impact of hasty implementation of the peace process on domestic and international confidence.

    U4 Helpdesk Answer 2018:7 Anti -corruption strategies for authoritarian states Author(s): Roberto Martinez B. Kukutschka Reviewer(s): Nieves Zuniga Date: 20 May 2018 Although democracies – particularly weak ones – are not necessarily better than authoritarian states at controlling corruption, most success stories happen in democratic environments. Autocracies that manage to control petty and bureaucratic corruption, often leave in place the corruption that benefits the rulers.

  • Maldives: Extremism and Terrorism
    Maldives: Extremism and Terrorism On May 6, 2021, an improvised explosive device (IED) detonated outside of the Malé home of former President Mohamed Nasheed. Nasheed and four others, including a British national, were injured in the attack. On May 7, Maldivian police reported that Islamic extremists were responsible for the attack. The police suspect four individuals were behind the attack, having arrested three of the four suspects by May 9. Nasheed, the first democratically elected president of the Maldives and who is current the speaker of Parliament, has been an outspoken critic of religious extremism. Investigators have not yet determined which group was responsible for the attack. (Sources: Associated Press, Associated Press, Al Jazeera) On April 20, 2020, ISIS published a letter in their third issue of Voice of Hind magazine calling on Maldivians to join the jihad and to carry out extremist acts in the Maldives and India. The letter was in response to an ISIS-claimed attack on the Mahibadhoo harbor a few days prior. (Sources: Small Wars Journal, Middle East Media Research Institute) On April 17, 2020, five bombs detonated at Mahibadhoo harbor, destroying a sea ambulance, four speedboats, and two dinghies. ISIS quickly claimed responsibility for the attack via its weekly Arabic-language newsletter, al-Naba, claiming the boats belonged to the “apostate Maldivian Government and its loyalists.” The attack was the first to be carried out by ISIS in the Maldives. Earlier this year on February 4, a group of ISIS- inspired assailants stabbed and injured three foreign nationals near the Hulhumale Redbull Park Fustal Ground in North Male Atoll.
