    The Politics of Disarmament and Rearmament in Afghanistan

    [PEACEW RKS [ THE POLITICS OF DISARMAMENT AND REARMAMENT IN AFGHANISTAN Deedee Derksen ABOUT THE REPORT This report examines why internationally funded programs to disarm, demobilize, and reintegrate militias since 2001 have not made Afghanistan more secure and why its society has instead become more militarized. Supported by the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) as part of its broader program of study on the intersection of political, economic, and conflict dynamics in Afghanistan, the report is based on some 250 interviews with Afghan and Western officials, tribal leaders, villagers, Afghan National Security Force and militia commanders, and insurgent commanders and fighters, conducted primarily between 2011 and 2014. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Deedee Derksen has conducted research into Afghan militias since 2006. A former correspondent for the Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant, she has since 2011 pursued a PhD on the politics of disarmament and rearmament of militias at the War Studies Department of King’s College London. She is grateful to Patricia Gossman, Anatol Lieven, Mike Martin, Joanna Nathan, Scott Smith, and several anonymous reviewers for their comments and to everyone who agreed to be interviewed or helped in other ways.

    A World In-Between the Pre-Islamic Cultures of the Hindu Kush

    Borders Itineraries on the Edges of Iran edited by Stefano Pellò A World In-between The Pre-Islamic Cultures of the Hindu Kush Augusto S. Cacopardo (Università degli Studi di Firenze, Italia) Abstract The vast mountain area stretching east of the Panjshir valley in Afghanistan to the bor- ders of Kashmir was, in pre-Islamic times, a homogenous culture area nested between the Iranian and the Indian worlds. Its inhabitants – speakers of a variety of Indo-European languages belonging mainly to the North-West-Indo-Aryan (or Dardic) and Nuristani groups – practiced related forms of polytheism differing in many traits but clearly united by a basic pastoral ideology encompassing all aspects of human life as well as the environment itself. The advance of Islam into the mountains, starting from the sixteenth century, gradually brought about the conversion of the whole area by the end of the nineteenth, with the sole exception of the Kalasha of Chitral who still practice their ancient religion to this day. Scholars who studied the area with a comparative approach focused mainly on the cultural traits connecting these cultures to India and especially to the Vedic world. Limited attention has been given to possible Iranian connections. The present article, on the basis of a recent in-depth investigation of the Kalasha ritual system, extends the comparison to other components and aspects of the Indian world, while providing at the same time some new data sug- gesting ancient Iranian influences.

  • 13A Summary of the Panjsher Valley Emerald, Iron, and Silver Area of Interest

    13A Summary of the Panjsher Valley Emerald, Iron, and Silver Area of Interest

    13A Summary of the Panjsher Valley Emerald, Iron, and Silver Area of Interest Contribution by Stephen G. Peters Abstract This chapter summarizes and interprets results from joint geologic and compilation activities conducted during 2009 to 2011 by the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Department of Defense Task Force for Business and Stability Operations, and the Afghanistan Geological Survey in the Panjsher Valley emerald, iron, and silver area of interest (AOI) and subareas. The complementary chapters 13B and 13C address hyperspectral data and geohydrologic assessments, respectively, of the Panjsher Valley emerald, iron, and silver AOI. Additionally, supporting data for this chapter are available from the Afghanistan Ministry of Mines in Kabul. The emerald deposits of the Panjsher Valley are the main site for mining gemstone-grade emerald crystals in Afghanistan. The geology of the Panjsher Valley consists of Middle Paleozoic metamorphic rocks represented by a Silurian-Lower Carboniferous marble and Lower Carboniferous and Upper Carboniferous-Lower Permian terrigenous schist. Intrusive rocks include small bodies of gabbro diorite and quartz porphyry and a large intrusion of gneissic granite of the Laghman Complex. The area has an imbricate-block structure elongated to the southwest and northeast. Multiple tectonic events are related to structures within and parallel to the regional-scale Hari Rod fault system. Emerald mineralization in the Panjsher Valley AOI is genetically related to the Laghman Granitoid Complex and is controlled by elongated tectonic zones along the contacts between the carbonate and schist. The Panjsher Valley emerald district contains the following emerald occurrences from the west to east: Khinj, Mikeni I, Mikeni II, Rewat, and Darun.
  • Map 6 Asia Orientalis Compiled by M.U

    Map 6 Asia Orientalis Compiled by M.U

    Map 6 Asia Orientalis Compiled by M.U. Erdosy, 1997 Introduction Map 6 embraces four distinct regions: central Asia and the Indus valley, which had lengthy contacts with the Greeks and Romans; and Tibet and Chinese Turkestan, which had practically none. The first two entered Western consciousness through the eastward expansion of the Achaemenid empire, which brought them into the orbit of Greek geographical knowledge, and won them prominence as the theaters of Alexander the Great’s eastern campaigns. Although colonization in the wake of Macedonian conquests was short-lived, classical influence on the arts and crafts of the area, if not its religious and political institutions, remained prominent for centuries. Moreover, even though the Parthians and Sasanians effectively severed overland links between central Asia and the Mediterranean world, the Alexander legend helped preserve geographical information for posterity (albeit frequently in a distorted form), even if little in the way of fresh data was added until Late Roman times. By contrast, areas to the north and east of the Himalayas remained in effect terra incognita until the nineteenth century, when the heart of Asia first received serious exploration by westerners, mostly as a by-product of the “Great Game.” Despite the impressive lists of toponyms and ethnonyms found in Ptolemy’s Geography and Ammianus Marcellinus, few cities and tribes can be localized with any certitude, since ancient geographers not only lacked first-hand knowledge of the area, but were also hampered by a defective image of the world, which was sure to produce serious distortions in peripheral regions. As a result, the eastern half of Map 6 is largely devoid of identifiable sites (although it contributes extensively to the list of unlocated toponyms and ethnonyms), while the western half is densely populated.

  • The Human Rights of Minorities

    The Human Rights of Minorities

    ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••AFGHANISTAN: The human rights of minorities There are no definite statistics about the size of the Afghan population or the distribution of Afghan ethnic groups. The only population survey (sponsored by the UN) was aborted in mid-1979 when the civil war broke out. The war, which has gradually taken an ethnic outlook, has caused people from various localities to flee in search of safety either to other countries or to parts of the country other than their traditional homeland. As a result, various localities have periodically seen fluctuations in the numbers of one or another minority. For example, from mid-1980s, there was a continued decrease in the number of Pushtuns in the central highlands of Hazarajat, where members of the Hazara minority sustained a degree of autonomy from the central administration. Now that the area has come under Taleban control, Pushtuns are returning to settle there. Estimates by ethnic groups themselves vary as they tend to overestimate the size of their own minority and underestimate the size of the others. The preliminary results of the incomplete 1979 survey suggests a general population of up to 15.4 million with the following ethnic composition.i Group Approx. number Location Pushtun 7 000 000 concentrated in south and south-east but settled far and wide Tajiks 3 500 000 north and north-east and Kabul region Hazaras 1 500 000 centre (Hazarajat) and in Kabul Uzbeks 1 300 000 north Aimaq 800 000 west Farsiwan/Heratis 600 000 west and south Turkmen 300 000 north Brahui 200 000 south-west Baluchi 100 000 west and north-west Nuristani 100 000 east Population of Afghanistan: main ethnic groups, 1979ii Personal experiences of aid workers, journalists and other visitors to Afghanistan suggest that in the last 20 years, there have been significant changes in the size and location of the ethnic groups in the country.
