Afghanistan
Untracked preview. This is not a tracked Signal Bureau entity — the page is generated on request from live coverage search, is not indexed, and carries no editorial curation. Tracked entities live on the Wire.
Coverage of Afghanistan is holding steady : 6 signals on the latest tracked day, level with its three-week baseline of 6, across 4 domains.
Afghanistan is steady by its own history. Its normal rhythm is about 6 signals a day across 4 domains. A real move would be a day at 8+ signals — 25% above that baseline, the bar our trend read calls accelerating — or a spread into domains beyond its usual 4. That is the move that would push it up the Wire.
