Security and Justice in a Failed State Context ~
Security and Justice in a Failed State Context ~ The Effects of State Failure on Human Attitudes toward Formal Institutions concerned with Justice and Security in Kunduz, Afghanistan by Nils Johannes Witte A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of: Master of Science in Human Geography with a specialization in Conflicts, Territories and Identities Under the supervision of Dr. Jair van der Lijn Radboud University Nijmegen December 2012 2 Author’s name: Nils Johannes Witte Student number: 4050045 Supervisor: Dr. Jair van der Lijn Huizen, December 2012 Contact: [email protected] 3 Acknowledgements I hereby present my thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Science in Human Geography, with a specialisation in Conflicts, Territories and Identities. The research conducted for this thesis was done in Kunduz, Afghanistan, as part of the research for the baseline study of the evaluation of the Netherlands Integrated Police training Mission in Kunduz, Afghanistan. In June 2011, I left for the first time for Afghanistan to work for an Afghan NGO; the Cooperation for Peace and Unity. It was a one month assignment, and I was to analyse local level disputes in Kunduz province and Takhar province in Northern Afghanistan. My work was published as two [unnamed] Local Conflict Trend Analysis Papers in early 2012. When I returned to the Netherlands in July 2011, I was asked by the same Afghan NGO if I was interested in coming back to Kabul to work for them as a project manager. Together with an American colleague, Seth Peavey, I was responsible for managing the (field-)research related to the evaluation of the Netherlands Integrated Police training Mission in Kunduz, Afghanistan. -
Impacts of Climate Change on the Water Resources of the Kunduz River Basin, Afghanistan
climate Article Impacts of Climate Change on the Water Resources of the Kunduz River Basin, Afghanistan Noor Ahmad Akhundzadah 1,*, Salim Soltani 2 and Valentin Aich 3 1 Faculty of Environment, University of Kabul, Kart-e-Sakhi, Kabul 1001, Afghanistan 2 Institute for Geography and Geology, University of Würzburg, Am Hubland, 97074 Würzburg, Germany; [email protected] 3 Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), Am Telegraphenberg, 14473 Potsdam, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +93-(0)-707083359 Received: 30 August 2020; Accepted: 16 September 2020; Published: 23 September 2020 Abstract: The Kunduz River is one of the main tributaries of the Amu Darya Basin in North Afghanistan. Many communities live in the Kunduz River Basin (KRB), and its water resources have been the basis of their livelihoods for many generations. This study investigates climate change impacts on the KRB catchment. Rare station data are, for the first time, used to analyze systematic trends in temperature, precipitation, and river discharge over the past few decades, while using Mann–Kendall and Theil–Sen trend statistics. The trends show that the hydrology of the basin changed significantly over the last decades. A comparison of landcover data of the river basin from 1992 and 2019 shows significant changes that have additional impact on the basin hydrology, which are used to interpret the trend analysis. There is considerable uncertainty due to the data scarcity and gaps in the data, but all results indicate a strong tendency towards drier conditions. An extreme warming trend, partly above 2 ◦C since the 1960s in combination with a dramatic precipitation decrease by more than 30% lead to a strong decrease in river discharge. -

Highlights Displacement Needs and Response
Afghanistan: Kunduz Emergency Situation Report No. 2 (as of 09 October 2016) This report is produced by OCHA Afghanistan in collaboration with humanitarian partners. It covers the period from 03 to 09 October 2016. Highlights Fighting in Kunduz city between NSAG and Afghan government forces, supported by international military forces, continued for a sixth day. The government reportedly controls more than half of the city, but the situation remains volatile and in flux. Initial reports indicate that nearly 24,000 IDPs have fled Kunduz and are arriving in Taloqan (highest number of arrivals), Kabul, Pul-e-Khumri, Taloqan and Mazar-i-Sharif. These figures are likely to increase. Main needs include shelter, food, wash and medical support. MoRR estimate up to 100,000 individuals could be displaced and anticipates a 3 month response. Kunduz city: the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate; needs include food and medical supplies. Coordination: OCTs and assessments have started in Kabul, Mazar-i-Sharif and Taloqan Displacement As of 8 October 2016, initial reports indicate that around 24,000 IDPs have arrived mainly in Taloqan, Kabul, Mazar- i-Sharif and Pul-e-Khumri, with numbers steadily increasing. Around 10,000 people have been assessed so far, and with assessments ongoing, this figure is likely to change. Taloqan is receiving the highest number of arrivals, most probably due to the security concerns on the road crossing Baghlan (particularly Baghlan-e-Jadid). In general, IDPs are reported to have fled quickly, some on foot to avoid checkpoints, and were unable to take possessions. MoRR have advised they expect displacement to last longer than the 2015 crisis and with larger areas impacted by fighting, more people are expected to flee. -

Counterinsurgency, Local Militias, and Statebuilding in Afghanistan
[PEACEW RKS [ COUNTERINSURGENCY, LOCAL MILITIAS, AND STATEBUILDING IN AFGHANISTAN Jonathan Goodhand and Aziz Hakimi ABOUT THE REPORT Much international effort and funding have focused on building and bureaucratizing the means of violence in Afghanistan. At the same time, parallel government and NATO experiments have armed local defense forces, including local militias, under the Afghan Local Police (ALP) program to fight the insurgency and provide security at the local level. This report—which is based on a year’s research in Kabul and the provinces of Wardak, Baghlan, and Kunduz—seeks to understand the role and impact of the ALP on security and political dynamics in the context of ongoing counterinsurgency and stabilization operations and the projected drawdown of international troops in 2014 . ABOUT THE AUTHORS Jonathan Goodhand is a professor of conflict and development studies in the Development Studies department at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London. His research interests include the political economy of aid, conflict, and postwar reconstruction, with a particular focus on Afghanistan and Sri Lanka. Aziz Hakimi is a PhD candidate at SOAS. His dissertation focuses on the ALP in relation to Afghan statebuilding.
