  • 16 September 2010
    SIOC – Afghanistan: UNITED NATIONS CONFIDENTIAL UN Department of Safety and Security, Afghanistan Security Situation Report, Week 37, 10 - 16 September 2010 JOINT WEEKLY SECURITY ANALYSIS The week recorded a further decrease in the overall number of incidents with only the WR recording an increase, while the rest of the regions recording decreased or relatively consistent incident levels. This overall decrease is assessed to be a result of Eid celebrations, which continued for the first three days of the week, as well as AGE’s focus mainly on the elections and related activities and preparation for the offensive on the Election Day. This was manifested in the dramatic increase recorded in the election- related incidents. Lack of visibility in the SR, particularly in Hilmand is another factor contributing to the low numbers recorded in the region. Kunduz remained volatile in the NER, followed by Badakhshan mainly due to increased demonstrations. In the NR violence, mainly connected to the elections, was spread in most of the provinces. In the WR, Farah was the center of focus with increased IED incidents and Kandahar in the CR with a focus of AGE activity in Kandahar City. Uruzgan Province remained susceptible to AGE activity. The decrease in the SER was visible in the whole regions except for Paktika as a result of increasing attacks against the newly deployed surge troops. Kunar Province was the center of AGE activity with over 80% of all the incidents in the region. In the CR, Logar and Wardak remained the most active districts and together accounted for 70% of all the incidents.

  • Groundwater Natural Resources and Quality Concern in Kabul Basin, Afghanistan
    Groundwater natural resources and quality concern in Kabul Basin, Afghanistan Scientific Investigation Report in Afghanistan By: M. Hassan Saffi, Hydro geologist Edited by: M.Naim Eqrar Professor of Geosciences faculty, Kabul University June 2011 Paikob-e-Naswar, Wazirabad, PO Box 208, Kabul, Afghanistan Phone: (+93) (020) 220 17 50 Mobile (+93) (0)70 28 82 32 E-mail: [email protected] Web site: www.dacaar.org i Abstract Historical groundwater level and water quality data in Kabul Basin were reviewed and compared with the data collected recently. The results suggest that the groundwater quality and water level have been improved progressively with urban development, land use, climate change, socio - economic development and frequent drought events. The main impact of these events include; 1) most of the springs and karezes have dried up; 2) decreased annual precipitation; 3) increased serious deterioration of water quality; 4) increased water logging and salinization; 5) declining of water level in excess of recharge trend; 7) increased evaporation and; 6) marshes dried up in several areas of the Basin, leaving salt crust at the surface. The above impacts have resulted in the replacement of surface water by groundwater resources to support socio-economic development. This, however, is basically not possible because of low thickness and productivity of the aquifers. We have done very little to tackle water quality deterioration and serious lowering of the groundwater level due to fragmented institutional arrangements and poor formulation of effective water policies, strategies and regulation for integrated groundwater resources management, development, protection and sustainability. Groundwater natural reserves have been depleted and water quality has deteriorated due to over-exploitation.

  • Biweekly Review of Dari/Persian and Pashto Media from Afghanistan
    INSTITUTE FOR DEFENCE STUDIES AND ANALYSES (IDSA) Biweekly Review Of Dari/Persian and Pashto Media from Afghanistan November 01-14, 2001 Translations by Mirwais Balkhi 1-Development Enclave Rao Tula Ram Marg Delhi Cantt, New Delhi-110010 BI-WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE DARI/PERSIAN AND PASHTO MEDIA FROM AFGHANISTAN November 01-14, 2011 Focus: Istanbul Conference Istanbul played host to a one-day conference on Afghanistan on 2 November 2011. The conference was attended by representatives from 26 countries as well as from international organisations like NATO, the EU and the United Nations. The declaration at the end of the conference recognised that the “promotion of a sound regional cooperation in the ‘Heart of Asia’ will create the conditions for peace and called for building a “new mindset of cooperation in the region”. According to media reports, the conference could not achieve much and some of the countries in the immediate neighbourhood— Pakistan, China, Russia and Iran— came together to oppose the American plans to maintain permanent military presence in Afghanistan beyond 2014. India supported the idea of reconciliation “on the basis of the Constitution of Afghanistan” and held that it “should be an Afghan-led, Afghan-owned and Afghan-driven process”. India also endorsed the objectives of Istanbul conference to form a new regional mechanism which would “bring regional countries together on an inclusive platform to address the common challenges facing the region, and [work] towards cooperative confidence-building measures and solutions”. However, the proposal for forming a “new regional mechanism”, which would have included India, was opposed by Pakistan, which, on the contrary, emphasised the role of existing regional organisations like the Economic Cooperation Organisation (ECO) and Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) to address security and economic issues of the region.
