<p style=3D"text-align: justify;"><strong>As of 12 October, 1745 hrs:</stro=
ng> On 13 October, higher education facilities will hold university entranc=
e (&ldquo;kankoor&rdquo;) examinations in Kabul City. Participating institu=
tions include <a href=3D"https://goo.gl/maps/GFHfmqkqMSegnGeC7">Kabul Unive=
rsity</a>&nbsp;and <a href=3D"https://goo.gl/maps/75wcsJPVcjXi7UiY6">Kabul =
Medical University</a> in Kart-e Sakhi, PD 3; as well as <a href=3D"https:/=
/goo.gl/maps/NEWWCRsDmqmBHtP3A">Kabul Polytechnic University</a> and <a hre=
f=3D"https://goo.gl/maps/jujKn3j7CqwSCVQc7">Kabul Education University (Rab=
bani University)</a> in Afshar, PD 5.<br /><br />As of the time of writing,=
 authorities have not officially announced any specific added security meas=
ures during the kankoor examinations.<br /><br />However, during the course=
 of the kankoor examinations, security forces are expected to establish add=
itional checkpoints and close off sections of roads leading around the invo=
lved universities for all civilian traffic. Pedestrians will most likely st=
ill be allowed to pass along closed down roads, but may face heightened con=
trols and scrutiny at the temporary IEA checkpoints. A map of the expected =
approximate location of road closures and additional checkpoints is attache=
d to this Report.<br /><br />If authorities implement the indicated road cl=
osures, traffic congestion in PD 5 and PD 3 is expected to significantly in=
crease. Additional traffic volumes are also likely to be experienced in adj=
acent PDs in this case.<br /><br />While authorities&rsquo; exact plans sti=
ll remain unclear, movement restrictions are assessed to be highly likely g=
iven the high-profile OAG attacks against education facilities recorded wit=
hin Kabul City since the IEA takeover. The most recent such attack, targeti=
ng the Kaaj Educational Centre in Dasht-e Barchi, PD 13, on 30 September, r=
esulted in at least 56 fatalities and wounded 115 other individuals. The at=
tack prompted significant public outrage in the form of both online social =
media campaigns and demonstrations in Kabul, Bamyan City, and other locatio=
ns, with protesters specifically accusing the IEA of having failed to provi=
de adequate security at education facilities. As such, implementing road cl=
osures and temporary checkpoints may also serve to publicly demonstrate the=
 authorities&rsquo; commitment to prevent further OAG attacks against unive=
rsities and schools.<br /><br />On the other hand, OAGs may actively seek t=
o instrumentalise this heightened level of public discontent by conducting =
further high-impact attacks during the kankoor examinations. As the locatio=
ns and dates of the examinations are public, OAGs such as IS-KP would have =
been able to plan potential attacks ahead of time and position assets accor=
dingly. Moreover, due to the large scale of the examinations and crowds of =
students and teachers present at each facility, an attack using a BBIED or =
other common OAG tactics is likely to cause high casualty rates, further in=
creasing its overall impact and political utility to the OAG.<br /><br />At=
 the same time, the recent string of high-profile attacks against the Minis=
try of Interior in PD 15 on 05 October, the Kaaj Educational Centre in PD 1=
3 on 30 September, and the Wazir Akbar Khan Mosque in PD 10 on 23 September=
, also likely used up significant resources of OAG affiliates operating in =
Kabul. In addition, the heightened security measures expected to be impleme=
nted during the kankoor examinations will also limit assailants' freedom of=
 movement and access to the facilities.<br /><br />In addition to the eleva=
ted risk of OAG attacks, major public events such as the kankoor examinatio=
ns also generally lead to increased tensions at checkpoints, as security pe=
rsonnel will be more apprehensive of approaching vehicles and pedestrians. =
As a consequence, interactions with civilians, including NGO staff, may mor=
e readily turn hostile over common triggers such as a perceived or actual l=
ack of necessary authorisation documents, or a delayed response to signals =
to drivers to stop at checkpoints. Resulting confrontations may lead to tem=
porary detentions or even shooting incidents, posing a risk to NGO staff.<b=
r /><br />NGOs should plan for extended travel times for movements through =
Kabul City over the next 24 hours.<br /><br />NGOs are advised to inform st=
aff members living in the broader vicinity of the participating universitie=
s to be aware of the potentially curtailed freedom of movement for the dura=
tion of the examinations.<br /><br />NGOs should further avoid attempting t=
o move through potentially closed down roads in PD 3 and PD 5 and use alter=
native roads at an adequate distance away from the roadblocks, in order to =
avoid any confrontations with IEA personnel and potential traffic congestio=
n.<br /><br />NGOs should ensure staff members and NGO vehicles carry all n=
ecessary identification and registration documents with them at all times, =
including for short trips within Kabul City.</p>
