WASH Re-assessment 14-16 Sep 2020. Referred by OCHA & DoRR Assessment team/s ACTED, CTG/WFP, DACAAR, HI, ORD and local DoRR 2. Context This caseload is the continuation of caseload DA-KNZ 50 and DA-KNZ-052 originated by the same alert on 10 August. Due to the big number of displaced families and with the scope of speeding-up the assessments and assistance, the Kunduz response was divided in multiple caseloads one of which is still under assessment (D-057). Since the beginning of August 2020, the security situation across Kunduz Province worsened due to fighting between AOGs and government forces in different locations of Imam Sahib, Khanabad, Aqtash Districts and Kunduz city. As a result of the conflict, a large amount of families have been reportedly displaced on a daily basis from different locations of Kunduz province. In particular, by the 31st of August, 9150 families (circa 64,050 individuals) have been displaced mainly from Khanabad, Imam Sahib and Kunduz city outskirts. The displaced families are temporarily sheltered in their relative houses in Kunduz city and safer locations of Imam Sahib and Khanabad districts. DoRR and partners reported that at least 20% of displaced families have been returned to their homes across to Khanabad district. Following the raise of an alert through Key informants, the PDMC meeting was held on 20August 2020. Following the meeting, the Joint Assessment Team (JAT) consisting of ACTED, CTG/WFP, DACAAR, HI, ORD and local DoRR conducted the assessment between 29 August and 06 September 2020. Within this caseload, 768 families were pre-screened and 347 HHs were identified as potentially eligible to receive humanitarian assistance. After data analysis and verification, 331 HHs were found eligible for the ERM assistance. ACTED will distribute the full package (22,000 AFN) for MPCA per each household (for a total of 331 families who eligible for cash assistance). WFP will provide food in-kind for 16 HHs. SCI will provide NFIs for all 347 IDP families and DACAAR WASH assistance to all 347 IDP families. The affected families are currently living with their relatives, schools, clinics, in rental houses, makeshift shelters or tents with many unmet humanitarian needs. As of August 2020, 9,150 families (circa 64,050 individuals) were reportedly displaced mainly from Khanabad, Imam Sahib and Kunduz city outskirts. Currently, as far as the Kunduz response is concerned, further assessments are ongoing under caseload DA-KNZ-054. Number of households assessed 768 Number of households eligible under ERM assistance 347 3. Needs and recommendations IDENTIFIED NEEDS The food consumption scores is poorfor 293 Households (84%), borderline for 49 households (14%) and acceptable for 5 households (1%). The coping Food strategies of 313 HHs (90%) are high due to poverty. 85% of IDPs declared that they did not have enough food or money to buy their essential needs in the last 30 days. NFIs 341 Households (98%) are in need of cooking pots of 5L or more, 268 Households (77%) are in need of gas cylinder/solar lamp, 340 Households (98%) are in need of plastic tarpaulin, 341 Households (100%) need sleeping mats or mattress, 302 Households (87%) reported the need for clothes. Other NFI needed identified were sanitary items for women ang girls among 258 Households (74%), stainless steel cups (269 Households, 78%), and water storage containers (268 Households, 77%). Financial status All 347 Households experienced a drop in income as a result of a shock. 46 Households are in debt of 2,000AFN. 175 Households are in debt within the range of 2000 to 8000AFN. 126 HHs are in debt with more than 8000AFN. WASH Hygiene promotion sessions Hygiene kits BSF EBL Plastic chair Plastic bags for garbage collection Shelter 139 Households reported that they are living incorrect houses, 87 HHs in makeshift shelter or tent, 121Non-residential shelter (not intending for living i.e. schools, Clinic) Protection Two protection cases were identified with different vulnerabilities like disabilities and health issues. The cases were referred to relevant partners: Disability to HI and about the Health case to ORD/PSN. PLANNED RESPONSE WFP will provide two months food ration in-kind for 16 HHs who do not meet the Food ERM criteria NFIs SCI will provide NFI for all 347 HHs Shelter N/A MPCA ACTED will provide 22,000 AFN MPCA per HHs for a total of 331HHs. WASH DACAAR will cover WAH needs Protection ACTED Protection Officer referred the protection cases to ORD/PSN and HI and ACTED is responsible to follow-up these cases with the referred agencies. WASH Water: there is high turbidity issue experienced by 47 IDP families collecting water from unsafe dug wells water (14%); the remaining families have been collecting clean and safe water from hand pumps 190 IDP families or (55%), pipe water 11 IDP families or (3%) and safe dug wells used by 99 IDPs families or (29% of the total population of the caseload). Identified water points are located about 4 minutes (average walking distance) from settlement area. Following is the water quality testing result of identified water points in this caseload. Water sources Number of families Hand pump 190 Pipe water 11 Dug well 146 WQA Test Result in field level: Location / Village Type of Water #/ Total Focal Coli pH Turbidity EC-u/cm Date Points form Tooth Mazar… Unsafe dug well 12 0 7.5 10 NTU 1421 16-Sep- 2020 Kucha-e-shirkat… Safe dug wells 20 0 7.1 3 NTU 1522 16-Sep-2020 Darman… Hand Pump 15 0 7.6 0 NTU 1435 16-Sep-2020 Clinic khona… Pipe water 1 0 7.1 0 NTU 1258 16-Sep-2020 To mitigate any health issue that may emerge due to consumption of high turbidity water, DACAAR proposes 47 BSF distributions as alternative durable solution to those 47 IDP families; its maintenance and operating will also be taught to them. BSF is considered to be the best alternative durable solution. Sanitation: As per as sanitation facilities (latrines & Bathrooms), 83% (303 HHs out of the 347 HHs) visited have family latrine facilities in their households; however none of the IDPs families do not have separate latrines for men and women. The visited of the IDPs households have no hand washing facilities near or in the latrines. 44 HHs out of 347 HHs were found to use open defection, due to unavailability of latrines facilities in their houses. To prevent any airborne or waterborne disease that may occur due to open defecation, DACAAR considers the construction of emergency bath and latrine (EBL). EBL will be constructed based on (1) families' geography location, (2) ethnicity background, and (3) their willingness to share EBLs. Following table describes EBL construction plan. Condition #of Families Proposed Construction EBL 44 Conflict affected families living separately from 44 44 Sets each other separate HHs. Total 44 44 Sets EBL will be constructed in such a way that it can be used by all population groups, including children, elderly people, and pregnant women. To encourage them using the EBL on regular basis, they will also be taught through hygiene session that targets to increase awareness on hygiene issues among IDPs. In addition to this, DACAAR also proposes provision of 27 plastic chairs to 27 IDP families with paralyzed and pregnant women families’ members who cannot easily use squat latrine. The plastic chair is a mean to ensure protection mainstreaming in WASH response. Hygiene: Majority of the population have low living standard due to low knowledge on health and hygiene; and the situation is worsened by the absence of hygiene kits in the families. Many of them do not take care of themselves, because of less access to hygienic items. According to HEAT Database, majority of the surveyed IDP families are in need for water storage containers and hygiene kits. No good waste management system is in place; littering seems to become a common practice in this caseload. To address the aforementioned issues, DACAAR will provide hygiene session, hygiene kits and plastic bags for collecting of garbage in this caseload. The majority of respondents wash their hand before and after meal, there was little difference between adults and children in practicing hand washing before eating, because adult try the best to washing hand before eating, but children do not try to washing hand before eating. Recommendations: To address the above mentioned issue and also following criteria under ERM Project, DACAAR proposes following points to be considered as integrated WASH assistance in this caseload: 1. Distribution of 47 sets of BSFs to 47 IDP families who collect water from unsafe dug well. This assistance is considered as alternative durable solution and is expected that those families will no longer have any challenge in using safe water for their daily activities, especially drinking and cooking.

  • Briefing Notes KW24 2021
    Briefing Notes Group 62 – Information Centre for Asylum and Migration 14 June 2021 Afghanistan Taliban cooperate with al-Qaeda / ISKP still active in the country As reported by LongWarJournal on 07.06.21, the UN Sanctions Monitoring Team published a new report on insurgents/Islamists in Afghanistan on 01.06.21. According to the report, the Taliban still maintain good connections to al-Qaeda in the country, especially through the Haqqani network, whose members have married into al-Qaeda families, amongst other things. In addition, Sirajuddin Haqqani is a leading figure within al-Qaeda, but not of the al Qaeda core leadership (the Hattin Shura), the report says. Al-Qaeda is active in 15 Afghan provinces, despite the Taliban's claims to the contrary, and is led by its Jahbat al-Nasr wing, the report continues. Both the al- Qaeda leadership and that of al-Qaeda in the Indian subcontinent (AQIS), including the leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, are based in the border region with Pakistan. Besides, the Taliban are in control of 280 mining locations across 26 provinces (government control: 281 locations across 16 provinces; warlord control: 148 location across 12 provinces) and had gained about $450 million profit from them last year, the report continues. Despite its defeats in Kunar and Nangarhar, the ISKP also remains a threat, being still active in small cells (about 1,500-2,200 fighters) in the two provinces; other fighters (Tajiks, Uzbeks) are also active in Badakhshan, Kunduz, Balkh and Sar-e Pul, the report says. Taliban: more districts captured Reports of 09.06.21 say that the Afghan parliament has confirmed the capture of several districts by the Taliban in the last two months: Jond district in Badghis, Barka in Baghlan, Nerkh and Jalrez in Maidan Wardak, Dawlat Shah in Laghman, Qaisar in Faryab, Gizab in Uruzgan, and Sharak in Ghor.

  • Indo-Pacific
    INDO-PACIFIC Increased Attacks in Afghanistan Post US-Taliban Peace Deal OE Watch Commentary: On 2 June, the Wazir Akbar Khan Mosque in Kabul was the target of a terrorist attack, and as the accompanying excerpted articles report, the incident was the latest in a series of attacks in Afghanistan following the agreement with the US. The article from Tolo News, a privately-owned daily publication headquartered in Kabul, reports on the mosque attack, which resulted in the death of two people, including Dr. Mohammad Ayaz Niazi, “a national and regional figure” in the country’s education system. The mosque, which sits in a high-security area near the offices of several international organizations and embassies, is one of the city’s most famous places of worship. Niazi, who repeatedly took a stand against terrorist attacks, spoke out against the severity of recent terrorist attacks just a week before his death. He pointed out that within the last three months, the country’s coronavirus casualty count had reached approximately 227 deaths, yet the nation continues to suffer the same number of casualties to war on daily basis. While the Islamic State has since taken responsibility for the 2 June attack, the violence in the Afghan capital came after a recent road side bomb explosion which took the lives of seven civilians in the Khan Abad district of Kunduz province, an area which has reportedly been under control of the Taliban. This attack was later blamed on the Taliban despite the Taliban denying any involvement in this attack. The Kabul mosque attack also follows the gruesome attack on one of Kabul’s busiest hospitals, which targeted a maternity ward run by Doctors Without Borders, killing 24 people, including newborns, their mothers, and health care workers.

  • Making Sense of Daesh in Afghanistan: a Social Movement Perspective
    \ WORKING PAPER 6\ 2017 Making sense of Daesh in Afghanistan: A social movement perspective Katja Mielke \ BICC Nick Miszak \ TLO Joint publication by \ WORKING PAPER 6 \ 2017 MAKING SENSE OF DAESH IN AFGHANISTAN: A SOCIAL MOVEMENT PERSPECTIVE \ K. MIELKE & N. MISZAK SUMMARY So-called Islamic State (IS or Daesh) in Iraq and Syria is widely interpreted as a terrorist phenomenon. The proclamation in late January 2015 of a Wilayat Kho- rasan, which includes Afghanistan and Pakistan, as an IS branch is commonly interpreted as a manifestation of Daesh's global ambition to erect an Islamic caliphate. Its expansion implies hierarchical order, command structures and financial flows as well as a transnational mobility of fighters, arms and recruits between Syria and Iraq, on the one hand, and Afghanistan–Pakistan, on the other. In this Working Paper, we take a (new) social movement perspective to investigate the processes and underlying dynamics of Daesh’s emergence in different parts of the country. By employing social movement concepts, such as opportunity structures, coalition-building, resource mobilization and framing, we disentangle the different types of resource mobilization and long-term conflicts that have merged into the phenomenon of Daesh in Afghanistan. In dialogue with other approaches to terrorism studies as well as peace, civil war and security studies, our analysis focuses on relations and interactions among various actors in the Afghan-Pakistan region and their translocal networks. The insight builds on a ten-month fieldwork-based research project conducted in four regions—east, west, north-east and north Afghanistan—during 2016. We find that Daesh in Afghanistan is a context-specific phenomenon that manifests differently in the various regions across the country and is embedded in a long- term transformation of the religious, cultural and political landscape in the cross-border region of Afghanistan–Pakistan.

  • Kunduz Province — Market Monitoring Norwegian Refugee Council
    KUNDUZ PROVINCE — MARKET MONITORING NORWEGIAN REFUGEE COUNCIL mVAM AFGHANISTAN - MARKET MONITORING BULLETIN #4 11 – 15 May 2017 KEY FINDINGS Mazar City is the main supply market for Kunduz City which, in turn, supplies most of the food to the other districts in Kunduz province. The wave of conflict that occurred throughout Kunduz province in May affected the supplies from both Mazar to Kunduz City, and from Kunduz City to the rest of the province. As a result, both traders and customers reported facing difficulties accessing the district markets due to insecurity. Prices of staple foods (wheat flour and rice) were higher in all district markets of Kunduz province, compared to Mazar City; these prices had also increased locally in the past two weeks. Traders attributed the higher prices to reduced supply and higher transport costs from Mazar due to insecurity, but also to fluctuation of exchange rates between Afghan, U.S. and Pakistani currencies. Lack of work is a major concern—and an important driver of displacement towards other provinces. Daily wage rates for unskilled labour average AFN 280 (approx. USD 4) throughout the province, which is slightly higher than current rates in Mazar, and similar to rates in Kunduz province at this time of year in 2016. However, people are generally unable to find work. And while unemployment is chronically high in Kunduz it has been exacerbated by the recent wave of conflict. Labour opportunities are particularly scarce in Ali Abad, Khan Abad and Qala-e- Zal districts, where respondents said that most people could only find work for two days or less per week (compared to 3-5 days per week in the other districts).

  • 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.

    Security and Justice in a Failed State Context ~ The Effects of State Failure on Human Attitudes toward Formal Institutions concerned with Justice and Security in Kunduz, Afghanistan by Nils Johannes Witte A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of: Master of Science in Human Geography with a specialization in Conflicts, Territories and Identities Under the supervision of Dr. Jair van der Lijn Radboud University Nijmegen December 2012 2 Author’s name: Nils Johannes Witte Student number: 4050045 Supervisor: Dr. Jair van der Lijn Huizen, December 2012 Contact: [email protected] 3 Acknowledgements I hereby present my thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Science in Human Geography, with a specialisation in Conflicts, Territories and Identities. The research conducted for this thesis was done in Kunduz, Afghanistan, as part of the research for the baseline study of the evaluation of the Netherlands Integrated Police training Mission in Kunduz, Afghanistan. In June 2011, I left for the first time for Afghanistan to work for an Afghan NGO; the Cooperation for Peace and Unity. It was a one month assignment, and I was to analyse local level disputes in Kunduz province and Takhar province in Northern Afghanistan. My work was published as two [unnamed] Local Conflict Trend Analysis Papers in early 2012. When I returned to the Netherlands in July 2011, I was asked by the same Afghan NGO if I was interested in coming back to Kabul to work for them as a project manager. Together with an American colleague, Seth Peavey, I was responsible for managing the (field-)research related to the evaluation of the Netherlands Integrated Police training Mission in Kunduz, Afghanistan.

    Regional Overview: Central Asia and the Caucasus30 January-5 February 2021 acleddata.com/2021/02/11/regional-overview-central-asia-and-the-caucasus30-january-5-february-2021/ February 11, 2021 Last week, violence in Afghanistan continued between the Taliban and government forces. The Taliban was also targeted by the Islamic State (IS), while Afghan forces clashed with another militia led by an anti-Taliban insurgent. In the de facto Republic of Artsakh, remnant landmines inflicted casualties on civilians and military forces for another week. Protests took place in Armenia against recent changes in the judicial system. In Georgia, demonstrations took place calling for the opening of the Armenian border, which has been closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, restricting economic migration. In Kazakhstan, oil and gas workers continue to protest for better working conditions. In Kyrgyzstan, a new round of opposition protests followed the appointment of the new parliament. In Afghanistan,1ACLED is currently conducting a review of sourcing and reporting of the conflict in Afghanistan since 2020. Afghan forces operations and airstrikes inflicted many fatalities on the Taliban last week in a number of provinces, mainly in Kandahar. Meanwhile, the Taliban attacked a military base in Khan Abad district of Kunduz, killing members of the National Security and Defense and National Civil Order Forces. The group also conducted a suicide attack using a car bomb, inflicting tens of casualties at the Public Order Police base in Nangarhar province. Such attacks have been rare since December 2020. In a separate 1/3 development, IS claimed responsibility for a roadside bomb that killed four Taliban militants in the Chawkay district of Kunar province and another that killed one policeman in Jalalabad city of Nangarhar province.
