  • Legitimacy, Legacy and Demobilization in Post-Bonn Afghanistan
    The Future of the Mujahideen: Legitimacy, Legacy and Demobilization in Post-Bonn Afghanistan MICHAEL BHATIA ,s-,,~, .. IJ'ofK Contemporary Afghan politics is marked by a debate over the 'mujahideen.' This conte\;t -· involves the mythologizing, demythologizing and appropriation of the term by a wide variety of actors, from warlords, tribal combatants, the Taliban and Anti-Coalition Forces to rights activists and journalists. This struggle is a competition for legitimacy over the 'right to rule' and the 'right to conduct violence'; and it is critical to understanding the dilemmas of statebuilding in Afghanistan. Through such an examination, policy lessons are acquired concerning the role of the Afghan government and members of the inter­ national community in confronting armed groups. Each 28 April on Hasht-i Saur (or the eighth day of the Islamic month of Saur), Afghans celebrate Mujahideen Victory Day to commemorate the 1992 Soviet­ backed Najibullah regime's collapse and the entrance of mujahideen forces into Kabul. 1 In the week preceding the holiday, sections of the parade route near still-destroyed urban neighbourhoods are repaved. Red, black and green bunting is hung from shops and lampposts. During the parade, soldiers (with flowers placed in their Kalashnikov barrels) join scouts, judo clubs, football­ teams and schoolchildren. For the ceremony, the front row is reserved for party leaders, some of which held senior Cabinet posts and are now seated in the National Assembly (wolesi jirga). In 2004, Sufi Pir Sibghatullah Mojaddedi (leader of the moderate National Liberation Front) sat next to Abdul Rassoul Sayyaf (of the Ittihad-i Islami), Mohammed Qasim Fahim (of Jamiat-I Islami), Abdul Rashid Dostum (of Junbish-e Milli) and Haji Mohammad Mohaqeq and Karim Khalili (of Hizb-e Wahdat).

This incredible STARTTS resource was written and rolled out by Dr Belinda Green Ph.D., STARTTS Trainer in 2015. Since then it has been delivered to hundreds of workers, volunteers and students across the settlement, health, education, community and welfare sectors. The demand for this workshop has been high and the feedback has been outstanding. The workshop was designed to fit into the widely used cultural competence paradigm, but took it much further by incorporating trauma-informed practice based on the refugee experience into the framework. Therefore the ‘working with cultural competence with people from refugee backgrounds’ framework considers the impact that torture and other traumatic experiences in the context of persecution, political conflict, organised violence and forced displacement, have on resettlement processes, understanding a new culture and finding a sense of belonging in Australian society. It also incorporates knowledge of the socio-political and cultural contexts of the main countries of origin and ethnicities of the major groups of people coming to Australia in recent years under the Humanitarian Program.

  • Report, the Afghanistan Justice Project
    The Afghanistan Justice Project Casting Shadows: War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity: 1978-2001 Documentation and analysis of major patterns of abuse in the war in Afghanistan The Afghanistan Justice Project The Afghanistan Justice Project (AJP) was established in late 2001 as an independent research and advocacy organization whose objective is to document serious war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by all of the parties during the conflict in Afghanistan, 1978-2001. Our work has focused on some of the most egregious incidents of the different phases of the war – massacres, summary executions, systematic torture, mass rapes, and deliberate targeting of civilians in warfare. Our researchers interview a wide range of sources to determine the facts about specific incidents in order to establish an objective historical record and to press the Afghan government, and international donors and policy-makers to pursue accountability for the crimes of the past. The Afghanistan Justice Project’s staff includes Afghan and some non-Afghan researchers and legal experts. Much of the work has been done by volunteers. Almost all of the field work has been carried out in Afghanistan over a period of three years, although we have also interviewed some Afghans living outside the country. Many of the Afghans working with the project lived through some or all of the war. The Afghanistan Justice Project is independent and non-partisan, and has no official relationship to any government or intergovernmental body or other international organization. The organization’s status as a non-profit foundation is pending the completion of registration procedures in Belgium.
