Afghanistan: Background and U.S. Policy
Afghanistan: Background and U.S. Policy July 18, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45818 SUMMARY R45818 Afghanistan: Background and U.S. Policy July 18, 2019 Afghanistan has been a significant U.S. foreign policy concern since 2001, when the United States, in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, led a military Clayton Thomas campaign against Al Qaeda and the Taliban government that harbored and supported it. Analyst in Middle Eastern In the intervening 18 years, the United States has suffered approximately 2,400 military Affairs fatalities in Afghanistan, with the cost of military operations reaching nearly $750 billion. Congress has appropriated approximately $133 billion for reconstruction. In that time, an elected Afghan government has replaced the Taliban, and most measures of human development have improved, although Afghanistan’s future prospects remain mixed in light of the country’s ongoing violent conflict and political contention. Topics covered in this report include: Security dynamics. U.S. and Afghan forces, along with international partners, combat a Taliban insurgency that is, by many measures, in a stronger military position now than at any point since 2001. Many observers assess that a full-scale U.S. withdrawal would lead to the collapse of the Afghan government and perhaps even the reestablishment of Taliban control over most of the country. Taliban insurgents operate alongside, and in periodic competition with, an array of other armed groups, including regional affiliates of Al Qaeda (a longtime Taliban ally) and the Islamic State (a Taliban foe and increasing focus of U.S. policy).

IT in Afghanistan
ICT in Afghanistan (two-way communication only) Siri Birgitte Uldal Muhammad Aimal Marjan 4. February 2004 Title NST report ICT in Afghanistan (Two way communication only) ISBN Number of pages Date Authors Siri Birgitte Uldal, NST Muhammad Aimal Marjan, Ministry of Communcation / Afghan Computer Science Association Summary Two years after Taliban left Kabul, there is about 172 000 telephones in Afghanistan in a country of assumed 25 mill inhabitants. The MoC has set up a three tier model for phone coverage, where the finishing of tier one and the start of tier two are under implementation. Today Kabul, Herat, Mazar-i-Sharif, Kandahar, Jalalabad, Kunduz has some access to phones, but not enough to supply the demand. Today there are concrete plans for extension to Khost, Pulekhomri, Sheberghan, Ghazni, Faizabad, Lashkergha, Taloqan, Parwan and Baglas. Beside the MoCs terrestrial network, two GSM vendors (AWCC and Roshan) have license to operate. The GoA has a radio network that reaches out to all provinces. 10 ISPs are registered. The .af domain was revitalized about a year ago, now 138 domains are registered under .af. Public Internet cafes exists in Kabul (est. 50), Mazar-i-Sharif (est. 10), Kandahar (est. 10) and Herat (est. 10), but NGOs has set up VSATs also in other cities. The MoC has plans for a fiber ring, but while the fiber ring may take some time, VSAT technology are utilized. Kabul University is likely offering the best higher education in the country. Here bachelor degrees in Computer Science are offered. Cisco has established a training centre in the same building offering a two year education in networking.

Afghanistan: Post-Taliban Governance, Security, and U.S
Afghanistan: Post-Taliban Governance, Security, and U.S. Policy Kenneth Katzman Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs July 20, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL30588 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Afghanistan: Post-Taliban Governance, Security, and U.S. Policy Summary Upon taking office, the Obama Administration faced a deteriorating security environment in Afghanistan, including an expanding militant presence in some areas, increasing numbers of civilian and military deaths, Afghan and international disillusionment with corruption in the government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, and the infiltration of Taliban militants from safe havens in Pakistan. The Obama Administration conducted a “strategic review,” the results of which were announced on March 27, 2009, in advance of an April 3-4, 2009, NATO summit. This review built upon assessments completed in the latter days of the Bush Administration, which produced decisions to plan a build-up of U.S. forces in Afghanistan. In part because of the many different causes of instability in Afghanistan, there reportedly were differences within the Obama Administration on a new strategy. The review apparently leaned toward those in the Administration who believe that adding combat troops is less crucial than building governance, although 21,000 U.S. troops are being added during May - September 2009. The new strategy emphasizes non-military steps such as increasing the resources devoted to economic development, building Afghan governance primarily at the local level, reforming the Afghan government, expanding and reforming the Afghan security forces, and trying to improve Pakistan’s efforts to curb militant activity on its soil.

3.5 Afghanistan Telecommunications
3.5 Afghanistan Telecommunications Overview Communications in Afghanistan is under the control of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT). It has rapidly expanded in late 2001 and has embarked on wireless companies, internet, radio stations, and television channels. The Afghan Government signed a $64.5 agreement in 2006 with China's ZTE to establish a countrywide optical fibre cable network. The project began to improve telephone, internet, television and radio broadcast services throughout Afghanistan. As of 2016, about 92% of the country's population has access to communication services. There are about 18 million mobile phone users in the country. Etisalat, Roshan, Afghan Wireless, MTN, Wasel are private companies, and Salaam Telecom, a semi-government company part of Afghan Telecom, are the leading telecom companies. Afghanistan Wireless Communication Company became the first company to launch 4G services in 2017. It is predicted that over 50% of the population will have access to the internet, with over 114,192 fixed-telephone-lines mobile communications have improved because of the introduction of wireless carriers into this developing country. All GSM companies covered almost 95%. There are major cities such as Kabul, Kandahar, Herat, Mazari Sharif, Faizabad and Jalalabad connected through fiberoptic lines, including many more cities. There are no restrictions regarding the competition, but the general rate is controlled by a special government authority by the name of ATRA (Afghanistan Telecom Regulatory Authority), recently as per newly enforced law by ATRA, the 10% tax charged on all telecommunication users while adding top-up, due to security concern the SIM card registration is compulsory through the authorized document (Tazkira, Passport and Driving License).
