  • UN Department of Safety and Security, Afghanistan
    SIOC – Afghanistan: UNITED NATIONS CONFIDENTIAL UN Department of Safety and Security, Afghanistan Security Situation Report, Week 33, 13 – 19 August 2010 JOINT WEEKLY SECURITY ANALYSIS Countrywide security incidents slightly increased compared to the previous week. While most of the regions recorded fairly consistent numbers the dynamics in the SR and SER changed significantly. The SR experienced a significant drop in incident numbers mostly attributable to a significant reduction in IED incidents. Lower incident levels are not uncommon in the SR during the Ramadan period with both armed clashes and IED incidents dropping; such dynamic might also be related to the temporary relocation of foreign fighters outside the country for the observance of the fasting month. Trends in the SER continue to follow unprecedented patterns with incidents continuing to increase, to the point the region, after a short break of three weeks, is again recording higher numbers then the traditionally volatile SR. In the SER insurgents activities doubled in Gardez District of Paktya Province and the province itself recorded a threefold increase, while the neighbouring Paktika Province recorded almost a twofold increase. Countrywide the majority of the incidents are initiated by insurgents and those related to armed conflict continue to account for the bulk of incidents, with armed clashes and IEDs attacks scoring more then two thirds of the total. Following the initial statement published on the 15 August, the Taliban, later the same day released a follow up on the critical statement on the UNAMA Human Rights Report on Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict, suggesting forming a joint committee to investigate civilian casualties.
