  • Afghanistan Partial Threat Assessment: the Taliban and Isis
    CAITLIN FORREST AND ROB DENABURG with harleen gambhir Feburary 23, 2016 AFGHANISTAN PARTIAL THREAT ASSESSMENT: THE TALIBAN AND ISIS Key Takeaway: Security in Afghanistan has been deteriorating since U.S. force levels dropped from a high of 100,000 in 2011 to the current force size of 9,800 they reached in June 2014. Lt. Gen. John W. “Mick” Nicholson, the incoming commander of Operation Resolute Support and U.S. Forces in Afghanistan, agreed with the remark that “the security situation in Afghanistan has been deteriorating rather than improving” in a Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) hearing on January 28. Outgoing Resolute Support Commander General John Campbell reiterated this concern on February 2, stating that the ability to train Afghan security forces will be “very limited” if U.S. forces are reduced to 5,500 by the end of January 2017 as planned. Taliban militants are capitalizing on the overextension of the Afghanistan National Security Forces (ANSF) and dearth of U.S. and NATO forces to increase attacks, particularly in Helmand Province. ISW last published its Afghanistan Threat Assessment on December 11, 2015. Since then, Taliban militants have regained much of their traditional stronghold of Helmand Province, taking control of Now Zad and Musa Qal’ah Districts after ANSF withdrew between February 20 and 22. Militants are also besieging ANSF in Sangin and Marjah Districts while attacking ANSF near Gereshk, the district center of Nahr-e Saraj. The Taliban is thereby gaining freedom of maneuver around Helmand’s provincial capital, Lashkar Gah, even though they do not control the city itself.

  • End of Year Report (2018) About Mujahideen Progress and Territory Control
    End of year report (2018) about Mujahideen progress and territory control: The Year of Collapse of Trump’s Strategy 2018 was a year that began with intense bombardments, military operations and propaganda by the American invaders but all praise belongs to Allah, it ended with the neutralization of another enemy strategy. The Mujahideen defended valiantly, used their chests as shields against enemy onslaughts and in the end due to divine assistance, the invaders were forced to review their war strategy. This report is based on precise data collected from concerned areas and verified by primary sources, leaving no room for suspicious or inaccurate information. In the year 2018, a total of 10638 attacks were carried out by Mujahideen against invaders and their hirelings from which 31 were martyr operations which resulted in the death of 249 US and other invading troops and injuries to 153 along with death toll of 22594 inflicted on Kabul administration troops, intelligence operatives, commandos, police and Arbakis with a further 14063 sustaining injuries. Among the fatalities 514 were enemy commanders killed and eliminated in various attacks across the country.

    PART III DESCRIPTION OF RIVER BASINS Picture 38 Two different worlds separated by only a river; on the right bank of the Murghab river, ‘kuchi’ nomad tents in Afghanistan, on the left bank, a cooperative in Turkmenistan. Water is largely unused on the Afghan side. Murichak, Bala Murghab, 21 May 2003 (N35.72, E, 63.19, NW) 62 I. MAPS AND STATISTICS BY RIVER BASIN The map 8 shows the boundaries of the five River Basins delineated for Afghanistan: 1. The Amu Darya River Basin 2. The Northern River Basin 3. The Harirod-Murghab River Basin 4. The Hilmand River Basin 5. The Kabul (Indus) River Basin For each river basin, source of water, transboundaries riparian issues, natural resources, protected areas, land cover, type of agriculture, hydrological infrastructures (dams) and main historical development along water sources are summarized and whenever possible illustrated with pictures. The tables 8, 9 and 10 present statistics on area, population and the main land cover features by river basin. The graph 9 shows that the largest of these 5 basins is the Hilmand basin as it covers alone 43% of the national territory. The other 4 basins have similar size and represent 10 to 14% of the country. In additions to these river basins, there are 4 none drainage areas, namely Namaksar, Registan-i Sedi, Registan and Dasth-i Shortepa. The graph on Map 8 shows that 57% of the total river flow in Afghanistan originates from the Amu Darya River Basin. The Kabul (Indus) and Hilmand River Basins contributes respectively to 26 and 11% of the total water flow.

It is our role in the Government to ensure that official statistics particularly on demographic and socio-economic data are provided to all development planners, policy makers, researchers, program managers and Central Statistics Organization (CSO) stakeholders. Reliable statistics describe the reality of people’s everyday lives. The SDES in Takhar reveals a young population in the province with a median age of 16. Moreover, about 47.1 percent of the population were below 15 years old at the time of the survey. In terms of literacy, the adult literacy rate (15 years old and over) was 28.1 percent while the youth literacy rate (15-24 years old) was 46.6 percent. There was a significant gap between male and female literacy rates since there were only 48 adult literate females for every 100 adult literate males. On the other hand, there were 67 female youth literates for every 100 male youth literates. Hence, this report provides valuable information on the gender gap issue on literacy as well as in providing data on the young population, among others.

  • Afghanistan: Extremism & Terrorism
    Afghanistan: Extremism & Terrorism On September 7, 2021, the Taliban officially announced the appointments within its caretaker government. At the helm of the movement is Haibatullah Akhundzada, who will serve as supreme leader. Mullah Muhammad Hassan was named the acting prime minister, with Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar and Mawlawi Abdul Salam Hanafi named deputy prime ministers. The top security post was given to Sirajuddin Haqqani, who will serve as acting minister of the interior, a role in which he will have extensive authority over policing and legal matters. Mawlawi Mohammad Yaqoob, who is the oldest son of Taliban founder Mullah Muhammad Omar, is named the acting defense minister. The government is exclusively male, with many positions filled with veterans from their hardline movement in the early nineties. (Sources: New York Times, Associated Press) The appointments came a month after the Taliban began its offensive against major Afghan cities on August 6, 2021. By August 16, the Taliban laid siege to the presidential palace and took complete control of Kabul, declaring the war in Afghanistan had ended. The last U.S. troops flew out of Kabul on August 30, ending a 20-year war that took the lives of 2,500 American troops and 240,000 Afghans and cost about $2 trillion. By the evening of August 30, 123,000 people were evacuated from Kabul. Before departing, U.S. troops destroyed more than 70 aircraft, dozens of armored vehicles, and disabled air defenses that were used to counteract jihadist attacks in the country. The final withdrawal of U.S. troops was not a celebration of a more secure Afghanistan, but marked the beginning of a new Taliban regime.
