    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.

    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.
