Annotation | Based on qualitative surveys and focus group discussions with communities in four Afghan provinces, this Peace Brief analyzes how nonstate actor control over small-scale mining sites and illegal extraction contributes to conflict, the local political economy, and the incentive structures that support illegal extraction. Summary Most mineral extraction in Afghanistan is either illegal or unregulated. In some cases, mines have been operated by local communities for decades under informal arrangements that predate the current regulatory regime. In others, they are controlled or exploited by the Taliban or criminal networks. Illegal and unregulated extraction contribute to conflict by inducing contestation over access to lucrative mining profits and by financing the insurgents and criminal mafias that use violence to gain power. Illegal and unregulated mineral extraction deprives the government of revenue owed in the form of royalties and taxes that, among other things, could fund critical security services. Government control over minerals, however, is not always perceived by communities as beneficial. In some cases, communities support insurgent or mafia control of mines expressly to avoid illegal taxation by corrupt officials or to prevent the government from removing an important source of local income. To achieve its goal of effectively regulated extraction that produces revenue for the government and denies that revenue to the Taliban and criminal groups, the government needs to provide a path for legal operation of mines that improves local welfare. Steps in that direction could include legalization of artisanal mining without undue regulations, a program to deliver better government social services in exchange for formal mine registration and payment of legal taxes, and assistance with new technology and safety for mines. |
