In the early days of 2019, Afghan Media Community has lost one of its members. The vic- tim is Mr. Javed Noori, Neshat Local Radio Anchor in Farah province, who was shot died by Taliban on Saturday, January 5th 2019, when traveling with a group of thirty other passengers using public transportation. Mr. Noori worked diligently with Neshat Radio and was supposed to launch a weekly magazine in Farah as well. On another occasion, Saddam Hussain Bashash, the Ayna TV Journalist in the North- Eastern zone of the country was beaten up by police in Dasht-e-Qala District of Takhar province, and been arrested illegally for three hours as well. The reason behind his ar- restment and beaten up is that he tried to film the police’s harsh and rough behavior with the sellers beside the road. Moreover, the Neda-e-Subh Radio in Ghooriyan District of Herat province was targeted by a rocket attack. Unidentified persons had attacked on Ghooriyan Radio with a RPG rocket that destroyed some of the radio equipment but the radio transmitter was not damaged, radio broadcasts were temporarily stopped and started back. Mr. Jamshid Nekjo Azizi, proprietor of the Neda-e-Subh Radio said to Nai Media Watch that there wasn’t anyone while the rocket hit to the building but it had damaged radio assets. Furthermore, two journalists were threatened by the Taliban in Qandahar province. Abdullah Hamim, ToloNews Journalist and Javed Tanveer 1TV Journalist in South zone said to Nai Media Watch; at the very first they got the issue through their friends that Taliban want to assassinate them, whereas Qandahar Police warned them about the probable threats by terrorists; so that they could care of themselves. In addition to the aforementioned issues, some journalists of the private media outlets complain because of the practice of dual behavior of provincial authorities in Urozgan province. Moreover, on Sunday, 13th January 2019 journalists were invited by the pro- vincial officials to cover a program that was hosting governmental officials from Kabul. But it was about 30 minutes later that the deputy governor of Urozgan province an- nounced that except RTA (Radio and Television of Afghanistan) Journalist of other private media should leave the hall and they will not be allowed to cover the remaining portion of the program. Journalists of the private media were forced to leave the session and the concerned - 3 - Media Watch Report نی حمایت کنندۀ رسانههای آزاد افغانستان Nai supporting open Media in Afghanistan journalists considered it an insult and abuse to them, and they had recorded their com- plaints at Nai Media Watch as well. Additionally, Paiwaston Radio Head in Urozgan claims that he has been insulted by local security forces that belong to the Garrison branch. Fazl Ahmad Basharmal, Paiwaston Radio Head in Trincott city of Urozgan has been insulted by the local security troops due misplaced parking of his car on Monday 31st December 2018. Local soldiers humiliated Mr. Basharmal among all and forced him to clean the soldier’s car due to misplaced parking of his car. Furthermore, in addition to the targeted attacks on media outlets, this time Hamisha Bahar Radio and Television has been targeted in Nangarhar province. Unidentified per- sons have attacked on this media, as result of the attack the antenna has been damaged and it faced lots of technical loss. Moreover, on the eve of peace talks with the Taliban group, Nai as a leading advocacy organization stated its concerns regarding victimization of media and freedom of- ex pression through a press conference and also Nai considered specific sorts of recom- mendations to government and negotiating parties. - 4 - Media Watch Report نی حمایت کنندۀ رسانههای آزاد افغانستان Nai supporting open Media in Afghanistan A journalist was shot by Taliban in Farah province Javed Noori, Neshat Local Radio Anchor, was shot by Taliban when travelling with a group of 30 other passengers in public transportation. Hamidullah Hamidi, Neshat Local Radio proprietor in Farah said to Nai Media Watch that Mr. Javed Noori was killed by Taliban on Saturday on the way. Mr. Hamidi said that Javed Noori used to work with Neshat Radio in Farah and intended to launch a weekly magazine in the upcoming days in corporation with Mr. Noori. Taliban has proclaimed Mr. Noori’s assassination in a bulletin and considered him a “Foeman Agent”. At the meantime, Reuters has quoted Muhammad Shoaib Saabit, the Farah Governor’s words that Mr. Noori was not only a governmental employee but also he was busy in journalistic activities. Abdul Mujeeb Khalvatgar, Nai Managing Director condemns Mr. Noori’s assassination and asks Afghan Government to be accountable to Afghanistan journalistic Community in this regard and also asks Taliban to tell the reason behind civilians and journalists’ assassination. - 5 - Media Watch Report نی حمایت کنندۀ رسانههای آزاد افغانستان Nai supporting open Media in Afghanistan Mr. Khalvatgar emphasized that Mr. Noori is the first victim of Afghan Journalistic Com- munity in 2019. 2018 was considered the bloodiest year which ended with the assassination of 20 jour- nalists and wound up of 20 other journalists and media workers. During the last year, Nai Media Watch recorded 200 violence cases against journalists. Based on the Nai’s annual report, 20 journalists and media activists were killed in 2018 and most of them were killed in the terroristic incidents.

Nai Managing Director asks Interior Ministry to recognize those, who misbehaved and beaten up Mr. Saddam and introduce them to judicial procedures and also share the further details of the incident. Neda-e-Subh Radio was targeted by a rocket attack in Ghooriyan District of Herat province It was Wednesday, 26th January 2019, around 07:00 PM that unidentified persons had attacked on Neda-e-Subh Radio with a RPG rocket that destroyed some of the radio equipment but the radio transmitter was not damaged and radio broadcasts were tem- porarily stopped and started back. Jamshid Nekjo Azizi, Proprietor of Neda-e-Subh Ra- dio said to Nai Media Watch that there wasn’t anyone while the rocket struck to the building but it had damaged radio assets. Mr. Azizi also said; thus the incident we informed the Ghooriyan Police district and they came to observe the scene but still the security organs couldn’t have shared any update regarding the incident occurred yet although a week has been passed. - 7 - Media Watch Report نی حمایت کنندۀ رسانههای آزاد افغانستان Nai supporting open Media in Afghanistan According to Neda-e-Subh Radio official, specifically the target of the attack was Neda- e-Subh Radio, as there isn’t any other organization nearby the radio building, so that the terroristic groups may target that. The aggressors had tried and intended to hit the radio building and destroy all its assets and facilities. Mr. Azizi emphasized that before also we had been threatened by extremist groups and even have demoralized the officials at the radio. According to Mr. Azizi the Neda- e-Subh officials and employees have been threatened and warned through phone calls by unidentified people, thus the rocket attack and they have been threatened, by the continuity of their media activities, they will be targeted again.

PROCTER Afghanistan’s Fourth Estate E-mail: [email protected] Independent Media Summary • Over the last decade, Afghanistan has experienced the rise of a robust media sector. Program- ming fills the airwaves with everything from news to comedy, open debate to open audition, soap operas to police dramas to ABCs. • Journalists, however, operate in a climate of fear and insecurity, under threats of reprisal and violence, with insufficient state support for freedom of the press. • The National Unity Government’s pledge to promote good governance and fight corruption cannot succeed absent a free and independent media. • President Ghani and CEO Abdullah’s campaign pledges to support freedom of speech and press freedom must be backed up by actions, including passage of a mass media law that protects freedom of speech and the personal safety of journalists. Protecting and preserving Introduction ““an independent Afghan media In the past fourteen years, Afghanistan’s media sector has evolved at warp speed. In a country with that can keep the public informed one of the world’s lowest literacy rates, radio and television serve the population with news and without fear of reprisal or violence information otherwise obtainable only in print. Under Taliban rule (1996–2001), secular radio was is essential to the country’s silenced and television programming—which had debuted in 1964 with the government-owned Radio Television Afghanistan (RTA) but plunged into decline in the 1990s as civil conflict overtook transition to an open society.

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Afghanistan’s real GDP growth during 2013 slowed from 14 percent in 2012 to an estimated 3.6 percent. After accelerating to double digits during 2011, inflation moderated during 2012, reaching 5.9 percent year on year, though accelerated slightly in 2013 to an estimated 7.2 percent. At the end of 2013, net international reserves stood at US$6.4 billion (approximately 7 months of imports). The exchange rate depreciated by 8 percent over 2013 and has depreciated by another 3 percent since the beginning of 2014. The loan-to-deposit ratio has stagnated at about 20—25 percent of GDP since 2011, and both deposits and loans remain highly dollarized (between 70 and 80 percent), reflecting a continued lack of confidence.

It is also due to dramatic improvements in agricultural production and the end of a four-year drought in most of the country. However, Afghanistan still remains poor for now and highly dependent on foreign aid. About half the population suffer from shortages of housing, clean drinking water, electricity and employment. The Afghan government and international donors have remained committed to improving access to these basic necessities by prioritizing infrastructure development, education, housing development, jobs programs, medical care, and economic reform over the recent years. The replacement of the opium trade - which probably makes up about one-third of the country's GDP - is one of several potential spoilers for the economy over the long term.

  • STATEMENT from JOHN MATISONN CHAIRPERSON of MEDIA COMMISSION 14 September, 2005
    STATEMENT FROM JOHN MATISONN CHAIRPERSON OF MEDIA COMMISSION 14 September, 2005 The Media Commission announces that 2,889 candidates for the Wolesi Jirga and the Provincial Councils have been authorized to broadcast on radio or TV at no cost to the candidates, as of Tuesday September 13. We believe this has given an unprecedented opportunity to the people of Afghanistan to hear a wide range of opinions both geographically and substantively on radio and television. This is intended to help them become a more informed electorate in taking the necessary decisions about who to vote for on Sunday. On Wednesday September 14 we release the Media Commission Interim Report covering the period from July 19 to September 8. It gives a great deal of data about how the media covered the campaign (http://www.jemb.org/media_commission/index.html). The Interim Report consists of a monitoring report covering the pre-election period; a monitoring report covering the official Campaign Period from August 17 to 30; a set of daily reports of the rise of the number of candidates using the Sponsored Advertising Program, and a number of graphs that give information on the various stations and provinces using the program. This data is intended to be used by observers, analysts and the media as they conduct their own analyses of this campaign, as it relates to the media. It provides only preliminary conclusions. This is deliberate. Further comments will be made in the final report once the final data has been assessed. The journalism in this campaign has not violated code of conduct rules against hate speech, incitement to violence or any other serious concerns of a Media Commission, to our knowledge.
