Daily Evacuation Brief July 6, 2023
[AfghanDigest] LAST 24 HOURS
- POWER OUTAGES WILL INCREASE IN KABUL, POSSIBLY OTHER PROVINCES – The national power utility announced that power outages would be extended soon as consumption has outstripped importation limits under current agreements. Power supplies have been a continuing problem for Kabul since the Taliban came to power and the regime has constantly alluded to ‘technical difficulties’ that have affected delivery to urban areas. Sources in Kabul say that Da Afghanistan Bareshna Shirkat (DABS, the national power company) is facing a lack of trained technicians and is suffering from several unqualified directors who have been inserted into the organization by the Taliban. It is not currently clear what the extended outages will look like for citizens.
- TALIBAN LOBBIES HARD TO BE INCLUDED AT UPCOMING SCO MEETING IN KAZAKHSTAN – Members of the Taliban have demanded to be included in the upcoming SCO meetings in order to provide its take on the concerns about security and domestic policies. Most observers see the demand as ‘whistling in the wind’ as the SCO member states appear to have attained consensus over the necessary pre-conditions to engage with the regime. It is unlikely the Taliban will receive an invite.
