  • Daily Situation Report 31 October 2010 Safety and Security Issues Relevant to Sssi Personnel and Clients
    Strategic SSI - Afghanistan DAILY SITUATION REPORT 31 OCTOBER 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 at the end of October. 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 few months due to successful IM/ANSF operations.

Photo taken on 24 November 2014. "The conflict took an extreme toll on civilians in 2014. Mortars, IEDs, gunfire and other explosives destroyed human life, stole limbs and ruined lives at unprecedented levels. The thousands of Afghan children, women and men killed and injured in 2014 attest to failures to protect civilians from harm.

Conclusion Annexe 1 – Internal Displacement 1 Afghanistan Protection Cluster: Protection Overview on the Eastern and South-Eastern Regions 30 November 2011, Final Version I. Introduction The South Eastern Region (SER) and the Eastern Region (ER) are at the heart of the current military conflict between Pro-Government Forces (PGF) and Anti-Government Elements (AGEs). They have also served as strategic battlefields during the Soviet invasion due to proximity with Pakistan and the rugged terrain they encompass. Paktya, Khost and Paktika (SER) and Nangrahar, Kunar, Nuristan and Laghman (ER) border Pakistan and its volatile agencies of Khyber Pukhtoon Khwa (KPK). The Pakistani South and North Waziristan Khoram Agency, as well as the Khyber Mohmand and Bajaur Agencies that form the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), are reported ridden with insecurity and active insurgency impacting both Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Durand line is not recognized officially by the two States and the border that divides a predominantly Pashtun area is porous1. The ER is also strategic for the International Military Forces (IMF) and the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) as most of their supplies travel through the Pakistan - Afghanistan border crossing at Torkham. Control of the area surrounding the road linking Jalalabad with Kabul, is of immense strategic importance. The same route is used for essential imported economic goods for the country.
