  • Geohydrologic Summary of the Balkhab Copper Area of Interest
    Chapter 4C. Geohydrologic Summary of the Balkhab Copper Area of Interest By Thomas J. Mack and Michael P. Chornack 4C.1 Introduction This chapter describes the geohydrology of the Balkhab volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) copper area of interest (AOI) in northern Afghanistan identified by Peters and others (2007). The AOI is located in the Balkhab district of the Sari Pul Province, the Kishindih district of Balkh Province, and the Dara-i-Suf district of Sam Angan Province in northern Afghanistan (fig. 4C–1a,b), and is centered about 130 km (kilometers) southwest of the city of Mazari Sharif and about 130 km northwest of the village of Bamyan. The Balkhab prospect subarea covers 321 km2 (square kilometers) of the 1,858-km2 AOI. Water is needed not only to process mineral resources in Afghanistan, but also to supply existing communities and the associated community growth that may accompany a developing mining economy. Information on the climate, vegetation, topography, and demographics of the AOI is summarized to provide information on the seasonal availability of, and seasonal demands for, water. The geohydrology of the AOI is described through the use of maps of streams and irrigated areas, generalized geohydrology and topography, and well locations. The results of lineament analyses are presented to identify areas where the rock may be more fractured than in other areas, which may be an indicator of high relative water yield and storage in bedrock aquifers. The results of field reconnaissance work conducted in the AOI by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) minerals teams in November 2009 are described.

  • Country Profiles
    Global Coalition EDUCATION UNDER ATTACK 2020 GCPEA to Protect Education from Attack COUNTRY PROFILES AFGHANISTAN Attacks on education accelerated in Afghanistan during the reporting period. In 2018, a dramatic rise in attacks on schools occurred, almost half of which were associated with the use of educational facilities for voter registration and polling; polling-related attacks also occurred throughout the 2019 presidential elections process. Threats and attacks against students and education personnel also increased, particularly in areas of the country controlled by non-state armed groups. Context The 2017-2019 reporting period saw increased fighting between theAfghan government, international forces, and non- state armed groups, including the Taliban and the “Islamic State of Khorasan Province” (ISKP) in Afghanistan. In 2019, multiple peace talks between the United States and the Taliban took place in Qatar amidst ongoing fighting, however no peace deal was reached during the reporting period.238 Fighting between armed parties, along with targeted attacks by the Taliban and “ISKP”, caused substantial numbers of civilian casualties.239 In 2019, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) recorded 3,403 civilian deaths and 6,989 civilian injuries – the lowest level of civilian casualties recorded since 2013.240 However, significant periods of violence occurred during the year; between July and September 2019, UNAMA recorded the highest number of civilian casualties in a single quarter since 2009.241 Violence particularly impacted young people in 2019, when the UN reported that children comprised 30 percent of all civilian causalities and 78 percent of all casualties from explosive remnants of war (ERW) and landmines.242 Rising insecurity appeared to have a negative effect on school attendance.

  • The Dissipation of Political Capital Among Afghanistan's Hazaras
    Working Paper no. 51 THE DISSIPATION OF POLITICAL CAPITAL AMONG AFGHANISTAN’S HAZARAS : 2001-2009 Niamatullah Ibrahimi Crisis States Research Centre June 2009 Crisis States Working Papers Series No.2 ISSN 1749-1797 (print) ISSN 1749-1800 (online) Copyright © N. Ibrahimi, 2009 24 Crisis States Research Centre The Dissipation of Political Capital among Afghanistan’s Hazaras: 2001-2009 Niamatullah Ibrahimi Crisis States Research Centre Introduction Since its establishment in 1989 Hizb-e Wahdat-e Islami Afghanistan (The Islamic Unity Party of Afghanistan) has been an important political and military player in Afghanistan. Like most contemporary major political parties in Afghanistan, Hizb-e Wahdat is rooted in the turbulent period of the anti-Soviet resistance movements in Afghanistan in the 1980s. It was formed to bring together nine separate and mostly inimical military and ideological groups into a single entity. During the period of the civil war in the early 1990s, it emerged as one of the major actors in Kabul and some other parts of the country. Political Islamism was the ideology of most of its key leaders but it gradually tilted towards its Hazara ethnic support base and became the key vehicle of the community’s political demands and aspirations. Its ideological background and ethnic support base has continuously shaped its character and political agenda. Through the jihad and the civil war, Wahdat accumulated significant political capital among Afghanistan’s Hazaras, which arguably could have been spent in the establishment of long-lasting political institutions in Afghanistan. By 2009, however, Wahdat was so fragmented and divided that the political weight it carried in the country bore little resemblance to what it had once been.

These elections were the first to be fully led and organised by the Afghanistan Independent Election Commission (IEC) and the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) took the lead in providing security for the elections. It was also the first time that arrangements were made for prisoners and hospitalised citizens, to cast their votes. The steady increase of security-related incidents by Anti-Government Elements (AGEs) was a dominant factor in the preparation and holding of the elections. Despite commendable efforts from the ANSF, insecurity had a bearing on the decision of Afghans to participate in the elections Polling day recorded the highest number of attacks and other forms of intimidation for some 15 years.

  • Daily Situation Report 10 November 2010 Safety and Security Issues Relevant to Sssi Personnel and Clients
    Strategic SSI - Afghanistan DAILY SITUATION REPORT 10 NOVEMBER 2010 SAFETY AND SECURITY ISSUES RELEVANT TO SSSI PERSONNEL AND CLIENTS STANDING THREAT ASSESSMENT (KABUL): Threat reports continue to indicate that insurgents aspire to conduct coordinated attacks in Kabul City, as such the threat remains extant. Recent threat reporting has also indicated likely reconnaissance of areas and businesses frequented by members of the international community. Although no significant attacks were carried out in Kabul during the recent parliamentary election, or indeed after the event, the recent reduction in physical security in the city may provide insurgents with exploitable opportunities to carry out attacks. Suicide and complex attacks remain the preferred choice for insurgents in order to gain maximum casualties figures and the associated high degree of media attention. It remains possible that insurgents will still seek to undermine the democratic process by conducting high profile attacks when the final results are announced. It remains prudent for international agencies in the Kabul area to maintain a high degree of security vigilance. Sporadic IDF attacks in the city centre are to be expected. Any attacks are likely to consist of between one and four 107 mm rockets launched towards the city centre. Incidents of intimidation, executions by insurgents and targeting of government officials are increasing throughout the country. It seems to be a form of revenge by insurgents as they have lost more than 300 insurgent commanders over the past

    Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Capital Region Independent Development Authority FACTS & FIGURES crida.gov.af [email protected] crida.afg crida_afg crida.afg crida.afg Messages H.E. President of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Cities should be livable not only in terms of their physical structure but also socially and culturally. We must remove outdated bureaucratic hurdles and red tape, and formulate the right policies for urban planning and housing. Urban affairs have been the focus of our attention during the past years, and we now have the opportunity of practical implementation. Development of affordable housing will not be exclusive to the civilian sector, affordable housing will be extended to the personnel of all Army Corps. Referring to the fact that cities and villages underpin the nation, work on strengthening ties between cities and villages has been initiated, and ties between cities and villages feature in our planning for strengthening a national marketplace. CEO of Capital Region Independent Development Authority The absence of sound urban environment in the Capital of the country has caused this city with huge challenges, where considering its insignificant concentrated commercial and service centers, the population increases, along with the graph of problems also moves upward. Therefore, to address the issue, the solution should be mainstreamed in the capital region including Kabul, Parwan, Kapisa, Maidan Wardak and Logar Provinces. Capital Region Independent Development Authority (CRIDA) is established with the vision to lay down strong platform to address the current issues through rehabilitating the originality of capital zone, by developing a dynamic, self-sustained, self-reliant city, equipped with standardized infrastructure, public facilities, commercial, social and cultural centers.
