The following items were extracted from Wikileaks’ newly released Afghan War Diary. The files were downloaded from the raw HTML dump, and then searched using “HTT” –there were no results when using HTS or HTAT as search words. While we reserve commentary and analysis for an upcoming post, we welcome readers to not only copy all of this–or you can download the PDF or Word version–but to also leave their initial reactions, impressions, analyses, and related comments below. Very few names of HTT members appear, seemingly only that of Tracy St. Benoit. The materials begin in June of 2007, and end abruptly after the attack on Paula Loyd (not mentioned by name), on 04 November 2008. There are virtually no reports for 2009. This seems to be a very limited set of reports, and if it is an indicative sample, Wikileaks has obtained only a very small fraction of all reports generated, no more than 110,000 at most.



RC EAST: (EXPLOSIVE HAZARD) INTERDICTION RPT (PBIED) : 0 INJ/DAM

Child suicide bomber. June 2 2007 an Afghan official approached an HTT and reported that a child was used as a suicide bomber . The Taliban put a bomb vest on the boy and told him to go to the District Center amd when you get there just push the switch. The boy confused when he arrived at the District Center, told an unnamed official at the center that he was asked to go tehre and push the switch that he carried. The official promptly disarmed the boy. The unnamed child was allegedly an orphan and was taking care of himself but had limmited help from others. The Afghan indicated that this was typical of the Taliban to target orphans to become suicide bombers. There were other villigars who in separate interviews ve rified the same story.

2007-07-31 17:05 Non-Combat Event MEDCAP NEUTRAL

At 0850L the CMA team began a MEDCAP / VETCAP at the town of Kandaw Kalay (WB 3312 9460), Shwak district. The event ended at approximately 1330L. Approximately 251 people were treated during the MEDCAP (46x males over 30; 32 females over 15; 72x male children under 14; 35x females under 14; 66x males from 14-30). The predominant illnesses were gastro-intestinal ailment and minor aches and pains. The VETCAP treated approximately 301x animals (donkeys, goats, cows, camels).

The HTT team also gathered the following information:

-Kandaw Kalay is referred to as Hori Khel by the local residents.

-roughly 400x families live in Kandaw Kalay (8000x in the village; 12000 in Pakistan for various reasons)

-The following tribal sub-clans were identified:

Sarmat Khel (tribal elder: Ibrahim Jan)

Zinoor Khel (tribal elder: Hajji Jan Khan)

Qalandar Khel (tribal elder: Mir Zaman)

Niat Khel (tribal elder: Hajji Khialee)

All the above clans are sub-divisions of the Tori Khel Tribe.

-The dominant leader of the town in Hajji Hali. He has a nephew named Anwar Khan. The family owns a construction company named: the Abdullah Gombad Construction Company. The Khan family has a tight control over the population in this town.

-The elders complained of ANP stealing from local households as they conducted cordon and searches. They also claimed that the ANP rifled through the personal belongings of women, which is very demeaning and is meant as a show of dominance by the ANP. Elders requested that elders be present when ever a search took place.

-Main currency in the town is Pakistani Kaldaris (rupees), not Afghans. That indicates close economic ties of some sort with Pakistan. The Haqqani network may be a possible link between this town and Pakistan.

–HTTs assessments are that the town and its population are basically loyal to whoever can provide the largest economic benefits.

-Large widow population identified. They pose an economic burden upon the community. Women targeted economic / micro loans programs may be beneficial to the community.

–HTTs impression is that the MEDCAP was definitely staged by the Khan family. The event seems to have been attended mainly by Hajji Halis supporters, meaning that the average resident was not represented. It seems that the event was Hajji Halis way of asserting his authority to the population.

Gerda Zerai Shura, Main Topics

ANA BDE Commander:

– The need for local support in establishing security in Gerdai Serai

– The need for tribal solidarity against the ACM

– ANAP recruitment from the Gerda Serai Tribes

– Needs of the community. Future projects and development

– $100K District Development Committee concept

– MEDCAP / VETCAP availability at Gerda Serai

Dep. Prov. Governor:

– Need for locally established security and tribal cooperation.

– Compared tribally established security in Jajji with the lack of security in Zurmat. Used Jajji as a good example to follow.

– The tribal land dispute between the Parangai, Sultan Khel, and Kha Khel tribes was address. The following COAs were mentioned for conflict resolution:

– Hold a Tribal Jirga at Gardez with all the conflicting tribes attending in order to come up with a solution

– Invite UNAMA to mediate between the conflicting tribes in order to find a solution

– The conflicting tribal elders get together on their own IOT find a solution

– ANA and ANP recruitment needed. Gerda Serai elders agreed to provide 30 ANAP by 31AUG07.

– The Dep. Gov. offered to let the tribal elders choose their own DC. Otherwise, he would choose one for them. He also promised to write a petition to MOI for official recognition of Gerda Serai as a district.

Haji Maipir Khan (Gerda Serai Head Elder)

– He expressed that the people of Gerda Serai are poor. Any and all projects, including the road construction, must employ local labor in order to boost the economy.

– The people of Gerda Serai need a DC in order to bypass all the official corruption in Gardez (i.e. in order to get a ID card, locals have to pay multiple bribes to provincial officials)

– $100K from the District Development Committee must be spent on building a Madrassa. This will keep local young men from going to Pakistan for education, which radicalizes them.

– The PRT and the ANSF have broken many promises before. How can we trust the PRT and ANSF now?

– Maipir asked for the release of 3x detainees who were arrested a few days ago by the ANSF.

– Elders including Maipir agreed to provide 30x ANAP.

1SEP07, Shawck, 1LT Orsini CA Team

CA TM conducted a KLE with tribal elders and discussed the possibility of installing a DCN (District Communication Node) at the Shwak DC. Then the CA team visited several villages in Shwak and conducted village assessments. The villages of Khojat Khel, Gul Khan, and Kar Khel were assessed. Water wells and Karez cleaning were the biggest demands from the villages assessed. In addition to the assessments, the CA TM also collected feedback on yesterdays MEDCAP/VETCAP. The CA TM met with the District Development Committee (DDC) in order to discuss the project list for Shwak.

1SEP07, Gerda Zerai, 1LT Newman CA Team,

The CA TM conducted a shura with the DDC. Representatives from all four of the dominant tribes in the district attended the shura in order to discuss future projects. The following five categories of projects were identified as being priorities: Electricity, schools, clinics, roads, and water systems. When asked if the tribes wanted generators for power, they replied that they could not afford the fuel and maintenance costs. The Tribes asked specifically for micro hydro power. The CA TM will also collect the final project list from the DDC in the next 24.

-Tribal shuras conducted at each of the three districts

-$100K District Development Committee program

-Proposed Khowst / Paktya Joint governance and security building (to be built at the border of Waze Zadran and Shamal)

-Promised 2x conexes of HA and development projects to the people of Waze Zadran.

PROV. DEP. GOVERNOR:

-Used example of Jajji and Mangal tribes uniting against ACM forces in their districts. Promoted tribal solidarity against ACm.

-Discussed new refugee ID card process and aid available to incoming refugees in Paktya.

-Promoted the State run Hajj program (state pays for trip to Mecca and back) which is based upon a lottery system. Promoted local registration for the lottery.

-ANAP recruitment. Asked for 30x ANAP from the district.

TRIBAL ELDERS:

-The people of this district have been happy with the performance of ANA and CF forces. However, the ANP needs closer supervision. They have a tendency to steal and to rifle through the belongings of women. When the Russians were here, we did not allow them to search our homes and look at our women. But now we have our own muslim brothers going through the personal belongings of our women. Instead of searching our homes, consult the elders and we will help you find the ACM.

-For the past 35 years there have been nothing but conflict in this country. The people are used to fighting. So you cant blame us for the occasional attacks on vehicles traveling through the KG Pass. The people are poor and they are tempted by commerce traveling in the pass. Not all attacks are from ACM.

-Corruption in the IRoA is overwhelming. Government officials in Kabul do not care about the people. Only care about their own pockets.

-Elders were so frustrated with IRoA corruption and lack of promise keeping, one elder walked off in a fit.

-In Wazi Zadran, we have already chosen to keep foreign fighters out. We have security.

-The District Development Committee (DDC) $100K is only a drop in the bucket. Too little money. Over 100,000 people in this district alone.

2SEP07, Shawck, 1LT Orsini CA Team

ANA distributed the following HA at the town of Ali Mohammad in Wazi Zadran district:

200x school kits; 40x teacher kits; 80x hygiene kits; 80x adult shoes; 60x childrens shoes; 40x adult coats; 40x childrens coats; 2x red rugs; 1x large green carpet; 4x elder Korans; 1x mullah Koran; 4x prayer rugs; 1x PA system, and 16x cans of paint.

The CA TM conducted KLEs with the tribal elders of the Shabak Khel tribe in Shwak district. The Shabak Khel is one of the two dominant tribes in Shwak, the other being Ibrahim Khel. Topics of discussion included projects from the District Development Committee (DDC). A list of projects from the Ibrahim Khel tribe was also collected earlier in the day. The list included 8x wells and 2x retention walls. The village well locations follow:

Gul Khan: 1x well

Ker Khel: 1x well

Khojat Khel: 2x wells (POC: Qadir Khan, 0799735482)

Lambali / Wali Khel: 1x well

Kori Khel: 1x well

Ghoran: 1x well

Landi Kot: 1x well

The CA TM also requested school supply kits, winter clothes, construction tools for irrigation work, and wheat seed for villages in Shwak. The above items will be delivered ASAP via ANA 5 ton vehicles. The CA TM also discovered that the Tori Khel tribe of Kandaw Kalay, which is where the last MEDCAP / VETCAP took place, is actually considered to be a part of Gerda Serai as opposed to Shwak. This is in contrast to the official district boundary. However, since the perceptions of the tribes are what matters the CA TM at Shwak proposed another MEDCAP / VETCAP at the Shwak high school for the tribes of Shwak. In the next 24, the CA TM will continue to conduct population assessments and focus primarily on the Shabak Khel Tribe.

2SEP07, Gerda Zerai, 1LT Newman CA Team,

The CMA team and the HTT team moved to Gerda Serai they engaged the local doctor and also the 4-1 Kandak RCA CDR. The plan is to conduct a MEDCAP / VETCAP at 0900L IVO the local doctors home (Omar Gul; WB 33491 91383). The CA TM also engaged the DDC members in order to obtain a list of projects and the DDC members expressed a interest in expanding the size of the current school in Gerda Serai. The CA TM assessed the existing school and found that the school was fully staffed with teachers paid by the MOE. The CA TM and the DDC agreed that a additional section for female students would be beneficial. The PRT engineers assessed that an 8 room structure could be built for approximately $100K as an addition to the current school. In the next 24, the CA TM will get a written agreement amongst the four main tribes (each with DDC members) for the expanded school. ANA will also give 10,000KGs of wheat seed (which was delivered to B6 yesterday) to the DDC members for distribution amongst the 4 main tribes. This will help to legitimize their new found status as DDC members. Elders asked for 200x school kits, teacher kits, and childrens clothes.

The CA TM at Shwak conducted KLEs with the leaders of the DDC in order to get a complete list of projects for the district. In the next 24 hours, TM Barkzai will conduct a HA drop consisting of School kits (for the primary school), hygiene kits, construction tools, and a mosque improvement package. The CA TM will also conduct surveys of all DDC nominated project sites with the assistance of the PRT SECFOR and a PRT engineer. After the survey is over, the CA TM will move on to Waze Zadran.

3SEP07, Gerda Zerai, 1LT Newman CA Team,

Today a MEDCAP / VETCAP was conducted at Gerda Serai IVO the residence of a local doctor, Omar Gul (WB 33491 91383). Turnout was lesser than the first MEDCAP / VETCAP, and the participants were predominantly male. Festering tribal conflicts are suspected for the poor turn out. MEDCAP: 149x men, 7x women, 7x children. VETCAP: 100x goats, 19x sheep, 2x donkeys.

ANA is also coordinating the distribution of wheat seeds (100x bags into 4 parts) via the DDC members. During the meeting with the DDC, the tribal members failed to come to an agreement on where the school that they requested with the $100K will be built. As a result, the DDC will have to reconvene again in the future for an alternate project request. At the meeting the DDC members, some of whom are members of the conflicting tribes in the district, also discussed possible COAs for resolving the conflict. Having a neutral judge in Gardez rule on the conflict was identified as the preferred course of action. A temporary cease fire was agreed upon until Sunday in order to await the ruling of the provincial judge.

ANA attended a shura at the village of Seyyed Khel in order to discuss the future construction of a joint, inter-provincial, security building at the Khowst side of the K-G Pass. The following are the talking points from the shura (written by CPT Russel, PSYOPs OIC):

This shura was called by the ANA CDR to ask the elders for land to build a new security outpost. Seyyed Khel was chosen due to its proximity to the provincial border. Themes for the shura were security, support the government (cooperation) and opportunities. There were approximately 35 elders present. The ANA hosted the event that included a short meeting about the land, visiting the site and lunch. The BDE RCA opened the meeting with Koran versus and prayer. The ANA BDE CDR opened the meeting with themes of security, cooperation and opportunities.

ANA BDE CDR

OPERATION KHYBER is bringing opportunities for the people of the KG Pass. We are all brothers and we should all follow the rule of the government. We apologize if we searched the wrong homes. The people that were arrested were taken to Gardez. If they are not guilty they will be brought back to your village. Work with your District Sub Governors. We want to build new check points and a new security outpost here near the provincial line between Khost and Paktia. Both Khost and Paktia will work together to keep the pass secure. The districts will also work together with the tribes of Shamal and Waze Zadran to ensure fairness in creating new jobs. You need to work together to provide an answer on where to build the outpost by tomorrow.

LTC WOODS

LTC Woods echoed all these same themes and messages.

HAJI GHANJI KHAN, VILLAGE ELDER

This project is important to us. But one thing is there are two tribes that should be involved with this decision and only one is present, Jawal and Ghawak. We are concerned that there is no space in Seyyed Khel. There is no place to land the helicopters. The ANA CDR interrupted the elder and reminded him that they needed to makes a decision. The elders went to there small groups for about 15 minutes and returned, Haji Khan continued that they had made a decision on a location. The location is west of Seyyed Khel and we can take you there. The team went to the site and returned for lunch at the school. It was decided that further shuras were needed with the provincial leadership and that the engineers needed to assess the site location.

DDC members from Gerda Serai visited the ANA TAC in order to request a micro-hydro power project with its $100K. However, not all the DDC members were present and $100K is not nearly enough to pay for a micro-hydro project. They were informed that once the DDC had proven that it could work together as a united body by making good use of its initial $100K, more funds would be made available for long term projects. During the meeting the representatives asked for a road linking Gerda Serai to the main K-G Pass. An initial proposal was made to employ 400x males from all four of the conflicting tribe for 4 months. It would be a labor intensive project with no heavy equipment involved. The DDC members agreed to hold a shura with 3F6 on 08SEP07 at the Gerda Serai DC IOT further discuss the road project.

-Soori Khel

-Toori Khel

-Sultan Khel

-Kha Khel

-Parangi

-Bakharai

-Shapak

-Ibrahim Khel

Majority Tribes: Sultan Khel, Toori Khel, Soori Khel

Minority Tribes: Parangi, Ibrahim Khel (dominant in Shwak). Most of the Parangi and Ibrahim Khel tribe members are currently in Pakistan.

Tribal Conflict: Sultan Khel vs. Parangi

Cause of Conflict: Land dispute. Fighting over Gurba Mountain (WB 308 901) and its various resources (i.e. pine nuts, fire wood, etc.)

History behind conflict:

The current land dispute in Gerda Serai has been ongoing for the past 63 years. In the past several decades alone 32 people have died from the conflict. The Sultan Khel tribe claims that they have the official land deeds for the mountain. However, the Parangai claim that the deed is fabricated. The Parangi tribe wants IRoA intervention and mediation instead of local resolution because they fear both local and ex-patriot repercussions. As the minority tribe in the district, the Parangi tribe probably does not expect to win a local struggle against the majority Sultan Khel tribe. Ironically, the Parangi tribe also fears retribution from its large and influential ex-patriot community in Pakistan. If it attempted and failed to resolve the conflict locally with a favorable outcome, they believe that ex-patriots who still claim land on the mountain will disapprove. It is believed that a local Parangi mosque recently underwent a $100,000 refurbishment with funds donated by a wealthy Parangi nuclear scientist in Germany. The ex-patriot link is obviously very strong in the tribe.

ACM influence in Gerda Serai: Haqqani himself belongs to the Sultan Khel Tribe. Some of Haqqanis sons and many of his extended relatives are still reside in Gerda Serai. Gerda Serai is without a doubt, a Haqqani network stronghold. The Parangi tribe is also subject to strong Taliban influence, although the Parangi are not believed to share the Talibans ideology. They simply provide shelter and material support. Once OPN Khyber ends, it is believed that HQN and Taliban forces will return to the district in force.

ANA conducted a large scale HA drop in Waze Zadran. Almost two conexes of winter HA (food, clothing, school / hygiene kits) were distributed along with 6000 kg of enriched winter wheat seed. The HA distribution was coordinated between the 1-1 Kandak leadership, the ANA RCA commander, tribal elders from the 4 main tribes, and the district leadership itself. The HA was distributed in 4 different villages under close ANSF supervision. The CA TM along with ANA also set the ground work for the Waze Zadran MEDCAP / VETCAP in the next 24 hours.

-boys under 14: 71x

-boys 14-30: 44x

-boys over 30: 24x

No women were treated.

The relatively low turn out is due mainly to possible tribal tensions in the area. The HTT team is currently assessing the situation and will submit a report ASAP.

SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES Unit: PRT Gardez

POLITICAL: NSTR

MILITARY:

8SEP07, Waze Zadran, 1LT Orsini CA Team,

ANA picked up a truck load of HA consisting of winter clothing, farming tools, and school kits from the TAC site IOT conduct a HA drop in Shwak in the next 24 hours. The CA team from Waze Zadran moved to L/U with 2A in order to assist in the HA drop.

8SEP07, Gerda Zerai, 1LT Newman CA Team,

ANA along with 3F6 conducted a shura at the Gerda Serai DC IOT discuss the Gerda Serai DDC and it list of projects. The following are excepts from the shura.

Main Topics:

-3F6 discussed te $100K DDC fund available to Gerda Serai. He emphasized that the $100K was just a drop in the bucket compared to all the money that would be available in the future, but he made it clear that the 4 tribes had to prove their ability to cooperate with each other before big projects could be vetted.

-3F6 stated that due to the tribal dynamic and conflicts in Gerda Serai, the IRoA and the CF refused to discuss large scale projects ATT. We had to be extra careful here.

-Also the latent ACM threat in the area made us even more cautious of big scale projects at this time.

-3F6 also discuss the future Gerda Serai unimproved road project. He explained how it would employ 300x men over the difficult winter. He also emphasized that local security was crucial to the projects success.

-3F6 stated that we were ready to start the road project in about 3-4 weeks.

-He promised that there would be future shuras in order to hammer out the details of the road project.

-However, before we could discussed the road any further, 3F6 asked for the DDC project list.

-One of the elders explained that due to the tribal dynamics in the region, they had to pick 12 DDC member. 3 from each tribe. They also included the new DC, Izzat Khan, to the committee, which made the committee 13 strong.

-The elder listed three categories of projects in order of priority:

1) Micro hydro power

2) Health clinics

3) Schools

-The elders claimed that all four of the tribes had water sources that could power a micro hydro plant.

-3F6 once again emphasized that a project of that magnitude would cost far too much. $100K was not nearly enough money for micro hydro.

-The ANA BDE CDR expressed frustration at the DDC for not being able to agree on a project list. Especially when all the other districts had already succeeded in doing so.

-At this point, 3F6 made an ultimatum. He told the DDC that until they managed to come up with a common project list at the DC today, the district would lose not only the $100K but also the $260K for the road. He stated that the CA team and 2C PL would stay behind with the DDC until they came up with a project list.

-3F6 stated that at 0900L tomorrow we would meet again at the DC in order to get the DDCs final decision.

-3F6 and the ANA BDE CDR left the shura at that point.

-1 hour later, the DDC managed to come to an agreement on a common school located at a central location. 2C moved to the school site along with the DDC in order to confirm the site.

8SEP07, Shawk, PRT Medic, HTT, and SECFOR

ANA along with the CMA and HTT teams conducted a MEDCAP / VETCAP at the Waze Zadran DC. Exact numbers of patients are not available ATT however, initial reports indicate at least 130 men and over 70 women.

Summary of Activities: Unit: PRT SHARANA DTG: 2007-09-23

Commanders Summary: (S//REL The leadership continued to QA/QC and refine EOT awards. The PRT vehicle situation is seven of seventeen UAH FMC. Our one LMTV is operational. We have four of four MK19s and four of four M2s FMC.

Political: (S//REL) The PRT CDR , CMOC Director, and both CAT-A teams traveled to Zwaka village in Omna District. They met with Hajji Mohammed and Saidfullah Khan.

We distributed humanitarian assistance to approximately 250 people. Each person received a blanket, radio, a bag of flour, a bag of beans, a bag of rice, a bag of sugar, and various clothing. We handed out children''s HA to approximately 200 boys and 100 girls. The Medical section treated around 45 patients.

The people of Zwaka have a positive policing operation going on in their village. The village elders told us that the village performs shift-work throughout the night, monitoring the roads for strangers.

The village elders initially were hesitant to help us distribute the HA. However, once we identified a place to distribute the HA and told the elders that we brought enough HA for 250 families, they were pleased to help us. Mr. Khan was very helpful throughout the operation, but Saidfullah was a problem throughout. We will select someone else from Saidfullahs side of the village to assist us in future HA distributions.

Security: (S//REL) Last night in Bermel, the new school that is being built by the PRT was attacked with an IED according to TF Eagle. Today the contractor for the school called the PRT and verified that the attack had occurred and there was another device on the site. TF Eagle has coordinated for TF Paladin to travel to the site for exploitation of the second device.

TF Eagle detected ACMs ICOM radio traffic regarding a plan for attacking a CF base in the district of Sar Hawzeh. While there are no CF bases in Sar Hawzeh there is the new District Center and several other PRT projects with security walls that insurgents may be assuming as a new CF base. Also, the PMT-D make frequent trips to Sar Hawzeh to meet with contractors at their respective construction sites. ACMs may have interpreted the PMT-D presence at the construction sites as CF setting up a base.

Infrastructure: (S//REL) Engineering met and discussed weekly status updates for the Provincial Attorneys building CERP project as well as the SHARANA Center for Education Excellence project. For the Attorneys Building, site drainage and utility installation details were discussed. Also pictures were presented to the PRT showing the placing of the first floor RCC slab. Management issues were discussed for DISCON Construction Company, relating to their current deficiencies in the lack of coordinated work activities. However, both projects are moving forward.

ADR package for a Clinic Expansion in KK district was routed for CoC approval signatures.

Reports received via TF EAGLE regarding the GAYAN DC project. Site pictures indicate the project is on schedule.

Information: (U//REL) Today Team Sharana conducted a Humanitarian Assistance Distribution and MEDCAP in the village of Zwaka, Omna. The Medical personnel treated 45 people and handed out HA to 250 adults, 200 boys, and 100 girls. We will develop a story for Voice of Paktika and Radio Shkin.

Security: (S//REL) Reported insurgent activity was low in Paktika Province today. A walk-in source in TF Eagle AO reported that there was a Police Hilux truck in Naka district rigged with explosives to be used as an RCIED. The source reported that ACM are planning to target FOB Orgun with the vehicle. However, due to its proximity, the Zerok COP is also assessed to be a target. A few days ago a suicide bomber wearing an ANP uniform in Nangahar Province tried to detonate himself after a bomb prematurely detonated in the car he and another individual was traveling in. He was killed by CF when he tried to actuate the device as CF and ANP approached him to render first aid. Insurgents are continuing to use the TTP of disguising themselves as ANP/ANA to get closer to their targets.

Infrastructure: (S//REL) Met with NCCL and discussed issues needing to be addressed such as traffic control and earthwork completion prior to contractor continuing on with other work activities. PRT awaiting additional test reports for review and approval.

PRT Engineers visited the SHARAN Center for Educational Excellence, the prospective site for the future Paktika Vocational Ag. Center and as well the future site for the AUP HQs building in SHARAN. Additional fund requests were submitted for 3 ongoing PRT CERP projects.

RC EAST: 27JAN08 TF Fury PRT Gardez conducts KLE with the Zormat Chief of Police IVO Zormat DC

Who: CPT Cho (3F S9), CPT Dost Mohammad (Zormat Police Chief), LT Richards (B40), 1x interpreter

What: Conducted a meeting at FOB Zormat in order to discuss the following:

-Allegations of corruption amongst the labor supervisors for the Zormat unimproved road project

-Tax collection at the Zormat District Center

-The District ban on motorcycles in Zormat

When: 27JAN08

Where: FOB Zormat

Why:

1)Allegations of corruption in the Zormat unimproved road project:

3F S9 received information from the HTT after conducting population assessments at the Zormat Bazaar area that some of the road project supervisors may be siphoning money from the workers. 3F S9 asked the ANP chief to conduct a formal investigation of the allegations and brief B6 of his findings after one week. The ANP Cheif swore to seek out the sources of these allegations.

2)Tax collection at the Zormat DC:

The Zormat Chief of police stated that tax collection at the District Center was a complete legitimate process that started during the time of the Taliban. He reported that all the money was deposited into government bank account in Gardez (Afghanistan Bank). According to the CoP, the taxes were collected by private contractors hired by the Ministry of Municipalities in Kabul. Taxes are levied primarliy on the shop owners in the Bazaar. The tax rates were based upon 6% of whatever stockages were in the individual shops and the ANP chief was responsible for enforcing the collection of taxes. Normally, tax collection is supposed to be managed by a bazaar mayor, however, there is no mayor at Zormat at this time.

3)Motorcycle ban in Zormat:

According to the Police Chief, motorcycles were used extensively by Taliban forces before the ban. The motorcycles served as a significant force multiplier for the Taliban as it provide maneuverability and stealth. The Police Chief stated that the district center was prepared to provide registration for motorcycles in Zormat, however, in order to do so the government required an elder from each of the tribes to vouch for the motorcycle owners. However, due to the weak tribal system and the almost systematic eradication of elders by the Taliban, the district center was unable to implement the motorcycle registration process. According to the HTT the ban on motorcycles is a significant point of contention amongst the people of Zormat towards the government. 3F S9 will discuss the feasibility of using this high demand for motorcycles in order to empower local elders in the district (i.e. re-establish the tribal system) with the Zormat DC. By giving local elders the power to vouch for locals who need motorcycles (the demand for which is great at this time due to sky rocketing fuel prices) we may be able to use this problem to our advantage.

The following report was compiled by MAJ Matos, PRT Gardez CA CDR:

On January 27, 2008, the Zormat DC, ANA, PRT, HTT, and Psychological operations team visited Sede Khel Village.

The District Commissioner talked about the following:

Unity

We all are Islams.

Not all have knowledge because, we have being fighting.

Make a shura and elect your leader.

Peace will not be brought by gun. We need to talk, discuss, and negotiate.

Three centuries we have killed each others. We have lost 1.5 Millions mortars but, have failed in making this country free.

Government

Because of the Bonn agreement signed in Germany we have an elected president.

Afghanistan has elected government officials (President, parliament, constitution).

This is a government of freedom with freedom of speech.

If we support the government we would not have the current problems.

My office is open to you, to the Taliban, to anyone that wants to talk.

I will go to the villages but, we need time to solve these issues.

Reconstruction

Why the younger work in other countries? There are good opportunities here if there is no fight.

We have natural resources but, we do not even know how to work with those. That is why we need assistance from the foreigners.

If we a pipeline that goes to other countries we will have more jobs.

The Arab Countries is a beautiful example of working together for the progress. Why we are in poor conditions?

We have 400 road workers in Zormat.

Electricity for the Bazaar will be a future project.

ANA, Religious Cultural Advisor, talked about the following:

OPN SM

This operation was conducted to listen to you, to unit the people, separate the enemy from you, bring security, and bring reconstruction projects.

Work with the government because, if not this opportunity will not happen again.

Village needs and comments

We need water wells

We need schools. We have 100 families and they do not even know how to write their name.

In 8 years no one has done anything for us, no facilities.

The government has not showed, asked, solved, and will not solved our petitions.

We lost 30 people in previous fights and the government did not even ask for their names, answer this.

We have beautiful security here but, we need security from both sides.

If you are truthful we will go to your shuras but, you got to be with us.

DC talking points after the Villagers comments

If you do not come to the shuras for 1, 2, 3 years you will be late in the reconstruction for that amount of time.

You need leadership to represent you at the government.

We will do water projects but, you will do the caress.

In the future 4 more schools will be built in Zormat.

Sit together and lots of problems will get solved.

It is not easy to rebuild when the enemy has destroyed all areas for years.

You have not seen what is being done in other areas of Paktya.

At a later conversation with the DC he mentioned the following:

When he was the DC for Jaji he started stopping truck to check if they were exporting minerals illegally (Asking for the tax papers). After that he receives a call from parliament members to stop doing that.

People in parliament do not want peace for Zormat. (Maj Matos asked him: Why is this?) As an example, he mentioned that Uyounio Kanony, Chief of Parliament has being getting lots of money since the Americans are here. If everything is solved we will not have to pay him.

RC EAST: 28 JAN 08 TF 3 FURY conducts Tribal Shura Meeting IVO Zormat DC

28JAN08 Zormat Tribal Shura

LOCATION: Zormat District Center

ATTENDEES:Zormat District Commissioner, CPT Faisul (1Kandak RCA), CPT Cho (3F S9), Haji Eido (head of shura) Zormat tribal shura members, Gorjay tribal edlers, HTT

SITUATION:

-The district commissioner conducted a district tribal shura at the district center today. Unexpectedly, elders from the village of Gorjay arrived at the tribal shura in order to plead the release of 3 detainees that had been incarcerated on the 27JAN08.

Elders:

-The elders of Gorjay stated that CF and ANSF forces should leave the village once the cordon and search operations were completed. He claimed that our prolonged presence at the center of the village only put the local villagers at risk. The elders feared TB attacks against CF and ANSF forces staging out of the village, which would in turn put the villagers at risk. They claimed that the CF and the ANSF were more than welcome to search the homes of suspected TB members, but dont linger in populated areas.

-The elders also vouched for the innocence of the 3 men detained on the 27JAN08. They asked for their release.

District Commissioner:

-The DC asked how the elders of Gorjay expected the IRoA and the CF to cooperate with them when they refused to cooperate with the IRoA.

-DC stated that an investigation was underway and that if the 3 men were found innocent, they would be released.

-The DC emphasized again the need for tribal unity against the TB and the current golden opportunity for development and progress.

-He stated that if the people of Afghanistan found unity and learned to solve its own problems, the CF would leave.

Elders:

-The elders stated that the IRoA was not strong enough to provide security in Zormat. That it was too week to be relied upon. They stated that the DC didnt have the power to make the CF leave.

District Commissioner:

-The DC assured the elders that once Zormatis learned to secure its own villages, the CF would leave. He then asked why only Zormat had so many problems. How many young men from Gorjay have joined the ANSF?

Elders:

-Elders stated that many of them traveled abroad for long periods of time in order to provide for their families. As a result they could not vouch for their young mens behavior. The temptation to join the TB for prestige and money was too great.-The elders stated that CF soldiers raided the homes of the 3 detainees on the 27th without ANSF support.

-3FS9 responded by telling them that that was against the rules and that the CF would never enter a Qalat unless it received direct fire from one.

-The elders thanked 3F S9 for the explanation.

Haji Eido:

-Eido asked if the CF kept records of their cordon and searches. He claimed that in the past couple of years, his home alone was searched 7 times. He asked why that was.

-Eido stated that the reason there was so much TB presence and activity in Gorjay and Dalwatzai villages is because the TB knew that the people of Gorjay and Dalwatzai supported the IRoA. He stated that ongoing operations and detentions in the two villages ironically served to punish the people for their support of the IRoA.

-Except for the cordon and search of the home in Gorjay on the 27th, Haji Eido complimented the ANSF on their conduct throughout OPN S&M. He stated that the ANP and ANA actually asked permission to enter Qalats from local elders and mullahs and that they behaved very well when conducting searches. They insured that they got permission to enter Qalats and that the women of the household were properly segregated during the search.

-He also stated that the 3 detainees from Gorjay stated that they had many suspicious electronic devices at their homes because electronics were their hobbies. They loved watching foreign movies on their cell phones (3F S9 almost gagged on his chai with incredulity at this point).

-Eido stated that the ban on Motorcycles was a growing problem for the people of Zormat. It had a significant economic impact upon the local residents and it did nothing to hinder the ACM from riding motorcycles. He claimed that it was only the innocent that were harmed by the ban on motorcycles. The ban also served to significantly discredit the IRoA and its judgment as no other district in Paktya had a similar ban.

HTT:

-Rep. from the HTT asked what weaknesses the Zormat Tribal shura had.

Haji Eido:

-Eido stated that there were many weaknesses in Zormat. One of them being geographic. He stated that Zormat was surrounded by 4 provinces and that TB from all these provinces traveled to Zormat.

-He also stated that Zormat wasnt the problem. The problem was the lack of IRoA support. He stated that many of the elders of Zormat supported the IRoA but they have only been persecuted.

-He stated that the main weakness was with the government. For example, none of the shura members have ever been paid for their services to the district. He also stated that a number of elders have been imprisoned and sent to BAF and Guantanamo by the former corrupt ANP.

-Another major issue that Haji Eido identified with the IRoA was the predominance of high ranking former communists in the provincial level government. He stated the example of the former governor Rahmatullah and the current provincial CoP, BG Esmatullah. Both were communist aparachniks under the old communist regime and they are much hated by the predominantly former mujahadeen elders in Zormat.

Key HTT findings at the Bazaar area:

-The return of the old ANP from Jalalabad is much feared. Many local residents have stated that they will rise up in armed revolt if the old ANP ever came back.

-The HTT team was almost mobbed by local shop owners and residents at the Bazaar when the issue of the ban on motorcycle use came up. The following are the negative effects of the ban:

1) The ACM are the only ones riding motorcycles in Zormat at this time.

2) The rising price of fuel is forcing people to pay extreme prices of taxis or walk long distances in the snow.

3) Business in the central bazaar has suffered significantly this year due to the lack of consumers traveling to the bazaar.
