Era stato rapito insieme a Umberto Cupertino, Maurizio Agliana e Salvatore CStefio, liberati dopo 58 giorni di prigionia, da miliziani di uno sconosciuto gruppo: le “Falangi Verdi di Maometto”. E chi ricorda il nome del caporalmaggiore David Tobini ucciso lo scorso 25 luglio in un attacco nel Nordovest di Bala Murgab in Afghanistan, la 41esima vittima italiana dall’inizio delle operazioni militari del nostro contingente militare nel Paese? In un mondo in cui i mercenari vengono chiamati pudicamente contractors e le guerre diventano “operazioni di pace” non c’è spazio per l’enfasi della memoria “nazional-patriottica”. Meglio dimenticare e in fretta poiché c'è sempre il rischio che qualcuno sfrutti l’occasione per fare domande scomode. Ad esempio qualcuno potrebbe ricordare Giacomo Spartaco Bertoletti e il suo socio Roberto Gobbi nell’Ibsa, la società genovese che aveva addestrato Quattrocchi alla vigilia della sua partenza per l’Iraq. Ma se Quattrocchi e gli altri erano stati addestrati dall’Ibsa, ad arruolarli era stata la Presidium, società di San Michele di Bari di proprietà di Gianpiero Spinelli. Quei quattro ostaggi sequestrati in Iraq “erano veri e propri fiancheggiatori delle forze della coalizione - scriveva il Gip, Giuseppe De Benedictis, nel provvedimento con cui imponeva il divieto di espatrio, poi revocato, al titolare della Presidium - Campagna coordinata da: e questo spiega, se non giustifica, l’atteggiamento dei sequestratori nei loro confronti”. “Le indagini finora NOVAMONTNOVVAAMONT L’AUTORE compiute - aggiungeva il giudice - hanno consentito di accertare (...) che essi erano sul territorio di quel Paese sarà presente a TERRAFUTURA COMUNICCOMUNICAZIONEAZIONE in veste di mercenari o, quantomeno, di “gorilla” a protezione di uomini di affari in quel martoriato Paese”.

  • Ngo Insecurity in High-Risk Conflict Zones: the Politicization of Aid and Its Impact on “Humanitarian Space”
    NGO INSECURITY IN HIGH-RISK CONFLICT ZONES: THE POLITICIZATION OF AID AND ITS IMPACT ON “HUMANITARIAN SPACE” by JOHN “DAVID” F. MITCHELL B.A., George Mason University, 2008 M.S., George Mason University, 2010 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Security Studies College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2016 Abstract Attacks against nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in high-risk conflict zones have increased exponentially over the last two decades. However, the few existing empirical studies on NGO insecurity have tended to focus on external factors influencing attacks, with little attention paid to the actions of aid workers themselves. To fill this gap, this dissertation theorizes that aid workers may have contributed to their own insecurity by engaging in greater political action. Both quantitative and qualitative methods are used to assess the impact of political activity by NGOs on the insecurity of aid workers. The quantitative analyses test the theory at two levels. The first is a large-N country-level analysis of 117 nations from 1999 to 2015 using panel corrected standard errors. The second is a subnational-level statistical analysis of four case studies: Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, and Colombia from 2000 to 2014. Both the country- and provincial- level analyses show that the magnitude of aid tends to be a significant determinant of aid worker security. The qualitative methods of “structured-focused comparison” and “process tracing” are used to analyze the four cases. Results show that aid workers are most likely to be victims of politically-motivated attacks while in-transit.

    A Deeper-Look: How military and development actors share the battlespace February 2020 Patrick Fine and Lieutenant General David Barno, USA, Retired Page 1 of 19 [Music] Patrick Fine: As we enter the 2020s, we see a world of growing great power competition where the effects of climate change are becoming more and more apparent and where non-state actors threaten sovereign states and national governments. We've seen more migration than ever before in history over the last few years, something we've explored in depth in previous podcasts, and we're seeing how these same factors fuel conflict and threaten longstanding international arrangements. Voiceover: A Deeper Look. Exploring what works and what doesn't in development, and the changes we can make together to turn ideas into action. Patrick Fine: Welcome, listeners. I'm Patrick Fine, CEO of FHI 360 and host of A Deeper Look. This season, we're taking a deeper look at the trends, ideas and forces that will shape the future of development. Today, I'm joined by Lieutenant General David Barno to explore how evolving security challenges will shape the way we think about and address human development needs. General, welcome to the podcast. Gen. David Barno: It's great to be here, Patrick. Patrick Fine: General, even as the world has grown more prosperous, we're seeing complex human development challenges, particularly in places affected by conflict. In our last episode, we had Masood Ahmed from the Center for Global Development, and he observed that a rising tide has lifted many boats, but there are places where the tide does not reach and those are characterized by fragility, instability, and conflict.

  • Here's the Best Thing the United States Has Done in Afghanistan
    CENTER FOR GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT ESSAY Here’s the Best Thing the United States Has Done in Afghanistan Justin Sandefur October 2013 www.cgdev.org/publication/here-best-thing-united-states-has-done-afghanistan ABSTRACT The 2010 Afghanistan Mortality Survey showed that, from 2004 to 2010, life expectancy had risen from just 42 years — the second-lowest rate in the world — to 62 years, driven by a sharp decline in child mortality. Doubts immediately crept in about the findings, particularly the child mortality decline, but a new survey in 2011 confirmed that child mortality was indeed declining rapidly, and the United Nations Children’s Fund’s September 2013 global report calculates an overall decline for Afghanistan of more than 25 percent from 2000 to 2012. Afghanistan’s progress against mortality reflects the success of providing health aid that differed radically from the bulk of American aid to Afghanistan during the war. The USAID program that contributed to the decline was a multilateral effort coordinated by Afghanistan’s own Ministry of Public Health. Results were verified by random sampling, and some funding was linked to measures of performance. This internal policy experiment, however, was destined to provoke resistance. More surprising is the source of resistance to an aid program that attempted to stop simply throwing money at a problem and focus on building sustainable systems: auditors. Thanks to Victoria Fan for help interpreting the child mortality numbers, to Charles Kenny and Bill Savedoff for comments on an earlier draft, and to Sarah Dykstra for help tabulating the numbers and sources. All opinions and errors are mine.

  • Rents, Patronage, and Defection: State-Building and Insurgency in Afghanistan
    Rents, Patronage, and Defection: State-building and Insurgency in Afghanistan Anand Gopal Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2017 © 2017 Anand Gopal All rights reserved ABSTRACT Rents, Patronage, and Defection: State-building and Insurgency in Afghanistan Anand Gopal Afghanistan has been one of the most protracted conflicts modern era, but theories of civil war onset fail to explain the war’s causes or its patterns of violence. This thesis examines the origins of the post-2001 period of the conflict through the perspective of state formation; although many civil wars today unfold in newly-forming states, the processes of center-periphery relations and elite incorporation have been little studied in the context of political violence. The thesis first describes how Afghanistan’s embeddedness in the international state system and global markets undermined the nascent state’s efforts to centralize and bureaucratize, leading instead to warlordism and neopatrimonialism. Second, it demonstrates that the development of an insurgency after 2001 was due not to ethnic grievance or rebel opportunities for profit, but rather to the degree to which local elites were excluded from state patronage. Third, it examines the role of ideology and social position in the Afghan Taliban movement. The dissertation seeks to offer a theory of political violence in Afghanistan that can, mutatis mutandis, help explain key features of civil war
