  • 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.

There are daily Threat Reports, but the received reports are mainly generic and lacking detail. It is possible that suicide attacks and indirect fire attacks can be expected in the city, but no time frames and/or specific targets were reported. Any attack in the city can be seen as a success for the insurgents, and they will make maximum use of the propaganda value of such an attack. MAJOR COUNTRY WIDE EVENTS Kidnap: Murder: 25 Jun, Uruzgan Province, Khas Uruzgan District, Bagh Char area, insurgents stopped a vehicle with local civilians on their way to Tarin Kot.

  • Natural Disaster Incidents Overview
    Reporting Period: 1 July – 30 July 2015 Submission Date: 30 July 2015 Natural Disaster Incidents Overview: Incidents Summary: Since 1 July 2015, 33 natural disaster incidents (flood, mudslide, river bank erosion, rising river water levels and landslides) were reported across 18 provinces. Initial information indicated that more than 2,800 families (17,755 individuals) were affected by these events. 1,300 houses were completely destroyed and 1,000 houses severely damaged in 130 villages of 53 districts. In addition, eight people were reportedly killed, two people sustained injuries and 1,552 families were reportedly displaced and relocated to nearby villages in Badakhshan, Balkh and Jawzjan provinces. Likewise, irrigation canals, agricultural land, roads, water intakes, small hydropower systems and orchards were also affected. Due to excess rainfall in Tajikistan and rapid snowmelt in mountainous areas, the water level of the Amu River rose significantly, forcing families living along the river to flee their homes. This has significantly raised the risk of flooding, riverbank erosion/rising water levels along the Amu River in the North and Northeast regions [Badakhshan (Shughnan, Nusai, Maimai, Shukai districts), Jawzjan (Qarqin and Kham Ab districts) and Balkh (Shortepa and Kaldar districts)]. Assessment Results: Fifty percent of the reported incidents have been jointly assessed, while assessments are ongoing or planned in fifteen districts. Assessments in six districts are pending due to insecurity. So far, assessments have confirmed 1,362 families (9,590 individuals) affected.

  • Human Rights Watch Briefing Paper Afghanistan: Return of the Warlords June 2002
    Human Rights Watch Briefing Paper Afghanistan: Return of the Warlords June 2002 I. Introduction As Afghan and United Nations officials prepare for the forthcoming loya jirga (grand national assembly), as called for in the 2001 Bonn Agreement to choose Afghanistan’s next government, ordinary Afghans are increasingly terrorized by the rule of local and regional military commanders – warlords – who are reasserting their control over large areas of Afghanistan. A mission by Human Rights Watch to southern Afghanistan in late May 2002 uncovered credible evidence of the reemergence of figures associated with the Taliban as well as the extremist Islamist movement led by former Afghan Prime Minister Gulbuddin Hekmatyar in several southern provinces.1 These warlords have been able to consolidate power because of the vacuum created when the U.S.-led military coalition and the U.N. Security Council refused to expand the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) beyond Kabul. Although U.S. forces are operating in these areas, they seem to be doing little if anything to address the insecurity experienced by ordinary Afghans. Indeed, according to persistent though unconfirmed reports received by Human Rights Watch, U.S. cooperation with certain of the local warlords seems to be aggravating the problem. Unconfirmed reports were also received of involvement in the region by Iran and Pakistan. Regardless of their ideology and the source of their support, these warlords are creating a climate of repression that once again threatens the security and well-being of the Afghan people. This return of the warlords is especially painful to Afghans committed to rebuilding civil society who now face the possible end of the hopeful respite that followed the fall of the Taliban at the hands of the U.S.-led military coalition.
