Recommendations 30 1 1.0 Background and Methodology Background Afghanistan hosts a protracted population of Pakistani refugees, who fled North Waziristan Agency (NWA) in 2014 as a result of a joint military offensive by Pakistani government forces against non-state armed groups that left the civilian population of Miranshah and surrounding villages forcibly displaced. As at 31 May 2017, UNHCR has biometrically registered over 50,000 refugees in Khost province and re- verified registration data for almost 36,000 refugees in Paktika province, where access remains a challenge. Cultural barriers also influence efforts to comprehensively register the refugee population, particularly women. Over 16,000 refugees receive shelter and essential services in the Gulan camp in Khost province, while most live among the host population in various urban and rural locations. NWA refugees benefit from the generous hospitality of the provincial Afghan government authorities and host communities, due in part to tribal affiliations and shared understanding of the trauma of forced displacement, with some hosted by Afghan relatives. WFP has been providing food assistance to the most vulnerable refugees and in 2016, the number receiving assistance was reduced to 35,000 vulnerable individuals who agreed to be biometrically registered by UNHCR.

  • Khost in the Rearview Mirror: First City in Afghanistan Falls to Jalaludin Haqanni, the Pakistani Isi and the Inadequacies of Aerial Resupply
    KHOST IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR: FIRST CITY IN AFGHANISTAN FALLS TO JALALUDIN HAQANNI, THE PAKISTANI ISI AND THE INADEQUACIES OF AERIAL RESUPPLY Lester W. Grau, PhD, LTC (Ret) The opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the US Army, Department of State or Government During the Soviet-Afghan War, a long-term goal of the Mujahideen was the capture and retention of a city in Afghanistan that they could proclaim as the capital of free Afghanistan. Positive benefits could follow such a success: international recognition as the rightful government of Afghanistan, increased foreign aid from countries not already engaged in providing military and economic support, extension of Geneva Convention rights to captive Mujahideen, and access to international courts. Such a city could provide the site and services for a transition government. Throughout the Soviet-Afghan War (24 December 1979-15 February 1989), this possibility only happened once. In August 1988, after Soviet troops evacuated the provincial capital of Konduz (population 30,000) as part of the Soviet troop withdrawal, Mujahideen forces managed to slip into the city before the Afghan government had full control of it. Afghan government forces retook the city after several days of fighting. Konduz was a target of opportunity which the Mujahideen lacked the strength to retain. The provincial capital of Khost was a more-tempting and important target. It appeared to be low-hanging fruit but this fruit proved to be a prickly pear cactus and several Mujahideen attacks on Khost were decisively defeated over the years.
