								<div style=3D"text-align: justify;"><span style=3D"background-color=
: #ffffff;">Since 01 May, over 100 districts across Afghanistan have underg=
one changes in territorial control that in most of the cases saw ANSF withd=
rawing after an OAG assault or ceding the control of a DAC to OAGs followin=
g the negotiations mediated by community elders.</span><br /><br /></div>

><strong><span style=3D"color: #2880b9; text-decoration: underline;">ANALYS=
IS</span><br /><br /></strong></span></span>
<div><span style=3D"background-color: #ffffff;">Increasing shifts in territ=
orial control were observed across Afghanistan since 01 May--the initial de=
adline for IMF withdrawal specified in the US-IEA agreement signed on 29 Fe=
bruary 2020. The US administration's transition from a conditions-based to =
an unconditional withdrawal has arguably decreased the IEA's restraint in c=
hallenging GOA territorial control within Afghanistan. At the same time, th=
e approaching deadline for the full foreign troops withdrawal is forcing GO=
A to reevaluate its strategy without relying on direct combat support from =
the IMF.</span><br /><br /></div>
<div><span style=3D"background-color: #ffffff;">While OAG challenging terri=
torial control is not a new dynamic, the increase has been more than appare=
nt in the past two months. The first quarter of 2021 saw the previously lar=
gest shift from GOA to OAG controlled districts recorded since the third qu=
arter of 2018. However, with an increase from 28 to 31 districts, that deve=
lopment is incomparable to the shift observed since 01 May, and especially =
through the latter part of June, accounting for over 100 districts.</span><=
/div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><span style=3D"background-color: #ffffff;">The IEA's capability to cha=
llenge territorial control was not surprising in itself. Many districts wer=
e already under de facto OAG control, with ANSF isolated in the DAC with li=
mited ability to defend or resupply in case of an OAG offensive. Therefore,=
 recent development indicates more a shift of IEA intent than one of capabi=
lity. While this is most likely to some degree a deliberate strategy change=
 at the senior IEA command level, the increased freedom for local IEA comma=
nders from IEA leadership, following the US administration's policy shift, =
is also a possibility.</span><br /><br /></div>
<div><span style=3D"background-color: #ffffff;">While the IEA strategy has =
arguably shifted to one of less constraint in challenging territorial contr=
ol, GOA strategy seems to be increasingly focused away from expending resou=
rces on defending DACs where a defence would likely be unsustainable. This =
strategy was demonstrated through multiple manoeuvres best described as tac=
tical withdrawals or relocations of DACs and/or ANSF contingents. This GOA =
strategy seems to be focused on securing more densely populated areas.</spa=
n><br /><br /></div>
<div><span style=3D"background-color: #ffffff;">A deliberate GOA strategy o=
f concentrating efforts to defend more densely populated areas and limiting=
 resources spent to defend already vulnerable contingents in some DACs appa=
rently contributed to many successful OAG takeovers. This was seen in ANSF =
prioritising the deployment of support, especially air support and/or Speci=
al Forces and Commandos. However, while this was most likely to some degree=
 a deliberate prioritisation, it is unclear to which extent and how this ha=
d been communicated to ANSF commanders and members on the ground across the=
 country.</span><br /><br /></div>
<div><span style=3D"background-color: #ffffff;">Multiple cases of ANSF surr=
ender or defections were recorded, with OAG members making substantial mate=
rial gains in the form of weapons and vehicles. While the decision not to s=
upport some areas might have been deliberate to some degree on a central le=
vel, these cases were, most likely, often a result of decisions made on the=
 ground by an ANSF contingent suffering from low morale, OAG pressure, and =
lack of support.</span><br /><br /></div>
<div><span style=3D"background-color: #ffffff;">While a deliberate strategy=
 to prioritise resources most likely determined some ANSF withdrawals, it i=
s also highly likely that ANSF resources were overstretched in general, in =
many cases causing prioritisation to be driven by limited resources to inte=
rvene across multiple hotspots at once.</span><br /><br /></div>
<div><span style=3D"background-color: #ffffff;">The predominant change resu=
lting from the cascading shifts of control from ANSF to OAGs lies not in th=
e perceived ANSF losses on the battlefield or increased OAG control through=
out Afghanistan but in the OAGs' increased freedom of movement and manoeuvr=
e, especially around the provincial capitals. This positioning suggests, an=
d will facilitate, the preparation for attempts to take control of provinci=
al capitals following the IMF withdrawal. Such attempts could cause more si=
gnificant changes in the conflict dynamics and the operational environment =
for NGOs than the currently witnessed cascading takeover of DACs.</span><br=
 /><br /></div>
<div><span style=3D"background-color: #ffffff;">That said, OAG behaviour in=
 the vicinity of those provincial capitals that have been besieged since Ma=
y and later in June indicates that direct assaults on cities are not immine=
nt. In Maymana, OAG members have engaged ANSF personnel in sporadic firefig=
hts on the outskirts of the city but have not yet attempted to enter the ci=
ty by force. In Sar-e Pul, OAG members have only entered areas of the city =
that lacked a meaningful ANSF presence. In Mazar-e Sharif, OAG members have=
 maintained a presence in areas surrounding the city but have not attempted=
 to enter the city itself. In the northeast, OAG members maintain positions=
 on the outskirts of Pul-e Khumri and Taloqan cities but have not yet attem=
pted to enter the more densely populated areas of either city. In Kunduz, O=
AG members and ANSF personnel are engaged in armed clashes on the outskirts=
 of the provincial capital, but OAG members already controlled some territo=
ry around the city for years prior to the initiation of these clashes. In G=
hazni, OAGs made no attempt to overrun the provincial capital since late Ap=
ril, despite effectively laying siege on the city and almost all DACs.</spa=
n><br /><br /></div>
<div><span style=3D"background-color: #ffffff;">Similarly, not all DACs ove=
rrun since 01 May have become OAG strongholds. Depending on the population =
density and tactical, operational, strategic, or symbolic value of a partic=
ular area, OAG members did not establish defensive positions or retained a =
lasting presence in some of the captured DACs. These DACs effectively becam=
e "no man's land" rather than areas fully controlled and governed by OAGs.<=
/span><br /><br /></div>
<div><span style=3D"background-color: #ffffff;">Increased OAG ability to ma=
noeuvre and reposition arguably presents the main risk for GOA, but ANSF mo=
rale also seems severely weakened; the recent OAG takeovers have provided t=
he IEA with a notable propaganda success nationally and internationally. Th=
ere is a certain risk of a "domino effect" in ANSF withdrawals and surrende=
rs, which cannot be ignored in terms of the government's ability to maintai=
n its positions. At the same time, this "domino effect" is unlikely to affe=
ct the entirety, or even most of ANSF. While a degree of coordination is ev=
ident in ANSF withdrawing from some areas and consolidating in others, most=
 ANSF surrenders are assessed to have been driven by local factors, such as=
 lack of timely support, rather than by a sudden change of allegiance. Case=
s of ANSF members returning to service after pledging to stay off the battl=
efield during surrender have been observed and may be more widespread than =
actually reported. Finally, incidents such as ANSF reportedly arresting 18 =
local community elders in Waygal District of Nuristan on 15 June after they=
 attempted to mediate an ANSF surrender can also become more common and ser=
ve as a demotivating factor for the communities to engage in such activity =
and, therefore, limit the OAG members&rsquo; options to outreach to and put=
 pressure on ANSF. IEA, on their part, are also likely approaching a point =
where OAGs will have their resources overstretched which, combined with pop=
ular mobilization of civilians and formation of new militias to defend besi=
eged provincial capitals may become a turning point in the current situatio=
n, allowing the GOA to move onto counter-offensive.</span><br /><br /></div=
>
<div><span style=3D"background-color: #ffffff;">It is highly likely that OA=
Gs will continue to capitalize on their current momentum to make further te=
rritorial gains in the coming weeks. IEA attempts to challenge control of m=
ore densely populated areas by force, including provincial capitals, cannot=
 be ruled out but are assessed to be less likely than negotiated takeovers.=
 Meanwhile, OAGs will continue to focus on less resource-demanding maneuvre=
s to position themselves before the full IMF withdrawal, while at the same =
time continuing the propaganda campaign to win popular support and undermin=
e the GOA, feeding the IEA's narrative as winners of the war in an attempt =
to make it a self-fulfilling prophecy.</span><br /><br /></div>
