MIDDLE EAST AND MAGHREB AFGHANISTAN (KUCHI NOMADS HAZARA) Intensity: 3 | Change: | Start: 2007 Conflict parties: Conflict items: The conflict over subnational predominance and resources between Kuchi nomads and Hazara tribes escalated to a violent crisis. The mainly Pashtun and Sunni Kuchi nomads claimed access to pastures in the Hazajarat area, where Shiite Hazara tribes had settled. Between March and July, violent clashes repeatedly erupted between both groups, with Kuchi tribesmen allegedly being supported by Taliban militants on several occasions [→ Afghanistan (Taliban et al.)]. On March 15, local officials reported that armed Kuchi nomads had set up their own posts and blocked roads in the Baraki Barak district, Logar province, thereby violating a ceasefire agreement from January. On April 5, hundreds of members of the Kuchi tribe rallied against government plans to reallocate some of their pastures situated in the Bihsud district in eastern Nangarhar province to local infrastructure projects. On June 20, clashes between Kuchi and Hazara tribesmen in the Behsud-1 district, Wardak province, left one person dead and one injured on both sides. Three days later, members of the Hazara armed group Faqiri abducted at least five Kuchi tribesmen, thereby breaking a ceasefire the groups had signed after the previous clashes. Following the June clashes, a presidential commission for resolving the crisis resumed work on June 29. On July 2, members of the Kuchi tribe torched six Hazara houses in the Aimerdad district, Wardak province. Throughout the year, Islamist militants repeatedly targeted members of the Hazara tribe. Most notably on February 23, when 25 to 31 Hazaras were abducted by Taliban militants on a highway between Herat province and the capital Kabul, and in November, when IS militants beheaded at least seven Hazaras in the Khak-i-Afghan district of Zabul province.

Intensity: 5 | Change: | Start: 1994 Taliban, Haqqani Network, Hezb-i- Islami et al. vs. government system/ideology, national power re- The war over national power and the orientation of the political system between the Taliban, the Haqqani network, and various other militant groups, on the one hand, and the government supported by the NATO-led Resolute Support Mission (RSM) and US forces, on the other hand, continued. After the end of the ISAF mission on 12/31/14, NATO launched RSM as a non-combat follow-on mission with approx. 13,000 personnel on January 1. The main objectives were to provide training, advice, and support to the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF). The same day, the Bilateral Security Agreement between the US and Afghanistan came into force, allowing an additional 9,800 US troops to remain deployed. In March, the UNSC extended UNAMA's mandate until March 2016 to support the transition process. According to UN figures, 3,545 civilians were killed and 7,457 injured throughout the year, exceeding the number of casualties of 2014. Furthermore, the UN estimated that the conflict left around 335,400 people internally displaced. Following the elections in 2014, cabinet members were sworn in on April 21, seven months after President Ashraf Ghani and Chief Executive Officer Abdullah Abdullah had agreed on a unity government. On July 7, Taliban members and the newly formed government opened a first round of peace talks in Murree, Pakistan. Representatives from China, the US, and Pakistan attended the meeting. Negotiations stopped after the public announcement of Mullah Omar's death on July 29. Since the end of ISAF, ANSF increasingly conducted operations against militants without support of international forces. On February 15, Afghan forces started a week-long operation in various districts of Helmand province. According to the government, at least 300 Taliban were killed and 114 injured, while 42 Afghan National Army (ANA) soldiers were killed during the operation. Between May 15 and 16, ANSF carried out a series of strikes against the Taliban in eight provinces, killing at least 138 militants and wounding over 80. Additionally, security forces confiscated ammunition for light and heavy weapons. During a similar crackdown on Taliban militants on October 13 and 14, ANSF killed at least 125 fighters in separate operations in ten provinces. NATO continued to provide military support to Afghan forces. In a joint operation on October 8, Afghan Border Police and NATO killed about 100 Taliban militants and wounded another 50 in Shorabak, Kandahar province. On November 23, at least 45 militants died in a joint ANSF-NATO operation in Sangin district, Helmand. The US carried out a drone strike against Taliban forces in Khost province on November 26, killing twelve fighters and wounding another 20. Among those killed was Khan Saeed Sajna, a senior Pakistani Taliban leader [→ Pakistan (Islamist groups)]. As in previous years, militants frequently attacked the ANSF and international troops. For instance, on February 26 one Turkish soldier and one Afghan civilian were killed and another Turkish citizen was wounded by a suicide bomber targeting a Turkish military convoy in the capital Kabul. On April 10, a Taliban suicide attack on a NATO convoy in Kabul left three civilians and one soldier injured. Starting their annual spring offensive, Taliban militants fired rockets at a US air base outside Kabul on April 24. No fatalities were reported. In another attack against a NATO convoy in Kabul on June 30, a Taliban suicide bomber killed one civilian, another 22 were injured. On July 8, Taliban militants beheaded three policemen in Qaiser district, Faryab province. In early August, Taliban targeted several security compounds in central Kabul. On August 7, four suicide bombers killed 25 police cadets in an attack on the Kabul Police Academy, leaving another 25 wounded. Later that day, a suicide attacker blew himself up at the gates of an American base in northern Kabul, while other militants engaged in firefights with US military. One soldier and nine contractors were killed. During fights in the airport area of Kandahar that started on December 8 and lasted approx. 26 hours, Taliban killed 39 civilians and 15 ANSF personnel while wounding at least 42 people. On 169
