The Oxus Watch is an independent research platform founded by Abdul Sayed, with contributions from a diverse network of academics, researchers, and analysts from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and beyond. Drawing on deep regional expertise, we analyze how armed groups influence political, security, and social developments. Through rigorous, policy-relevant research, we aim to inform public discourse and support peacebuilding, security cooperation, and sustainable development. We serve as a resource for academics, policymakers, journalists, and others seeking to understand the complex and rapidly shifting militant environment of this strategically vital region.
