CENTRAL ASIA REGION - Complex Emergency
Situation Report #42, Fiscal Year (FY) 2002    August 30, 2002


Note: This Situation Report updates previous Central Asia Task Force
Situation Reports and Fact Sheets.  New information is italicized.

BACKGROUND

Two decades of war in Afghanistan, including a decade-long Soviet
occupation and ensuing civil strife, left Afghanistan impoverished and
mired in an extended humanitarian crisis.  Government infrastructure,
including the ability to deliver the most basic health, education, and
other social services, collapsed.  Severe restrictions by the Taliban,
including a restriction on women working outside the home, added to the
impact of poverty, particularly on the many households lacking able-bodied
adult men.  A devastating regional drought compounded the crisis, drying
up wells, parching agricultural land, killing off livestock, collapsing
rural economies, and eventually exhausting the coping mechanisms of many
ordinary Afghans, forcing them to leave their homes in search of food and
water.

International relief agencies, with support from the United States (U.S.),
have long been active in providing humanitarian assistance to the Afghan
people, even during the restrictive years of the Taliban.  On October 7,
2001, a Coalition-led military campaign against al Qaeda and Taliban
forces began, and by December 2001, the Taliban had collapsed.  The new
Afghan Interim Authority (AIA) was sworn in on December 22, 2001,
increasing humanitarian access to the country and beginning the process of
recovery and rehabilitation.  The selection of President Hamid Karzai and
his cabinet during the Emergency Loya Jirga in June 2002 inaugurated the
Islamic Transitional Government of Afghanistan (ITGA).  More than one
million refugees and a half a million internally displaced persons (IDPs)
have returned to their homes to assist in the rebuilding effort.  The U.S.
Agency for International Development's Disaster Assistance Response Team
(USAID/DART) began its emergency coordination work in response to the
regional drought in June 2001, and a USAID/OFDA Program Office in Kabul
continues to assess the humanitarian needs of vulnerable Afghans, and to
monitor the relief programs of its implementing partners.

CURRENT SITUATION

Overview.  The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees expressed concern
regarding the treatment of ethnic Pashtuns during a visit to the north.
The U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA)  reported increased
criminal activity and lawlessness is negatively impacting relief
operations.  Five bomb explosions were reported in Kabul during the past
two weeks, including one outside of the U.N.  guesthouse.  The
humanitarian community is making progress in identifying Afghans in urban
and rural areas that will require targeted winter assistance;  however,
funding remains a concern.  Recent surveys indicate that the effects of
drought continue to impact vulnerable populations in several parts of the
country, with some new displacements reported.  Refugee returns from
Pakistan have slowed, while returns from Iran have sharply increased.

Political/Military.  On August 28, U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees
Ruud Lubbers expressed concern regarding the treatment of ethnic Pashtuns
in the north, many of who have been forced to flee their homes due to
ethnic persecution.  High Commissioner Lubbers raised the issue on his
recent visit with leaders in the north, as well as with ITGA President
Hamid Karzai.

On August 20, UNAMA issued a statement indicating it would provide
assistance upon request to the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission
in its investigation of the alleged mass grave site near Shebergan in the
northern province of Balkh.  UNAMA, in cooperation with the U.N. High
Commissioner for Human Rights, first sent a team to the site to conduct a
preliminary forensic investigation in early May 2002.  UNAMA has since
periodically visited the site to ensure its integrity.  On August 23, ITGA
President Hamid Karzai dispatched an investigative team to the site.

On August 26, more than 2,000 Coalition and Afghan military forces
completed Operation Mountain Sweep, a one-week campaign to search for
al-Qaeda and Taliban elements in southeastern Paktia Province.

Security.  UNAMA has reported that increased criminal activity and
lawlessness is posing a challenge to the cost-effective and timely
delivery of relief assistance in some areas of the country.  Travel
restrictions and extra security measures taken by non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) operating in the field are reportedly impacting their
ability to freely assess humanitarian needs and implement and monitor
ongoing responses.  In extreme cases, NGOs have had to withdraw from some
areas; more often, activities are geographically limited or scaled down in
scope.  U.N. security rules also restrict access for its field staff in
several provinces in the east where military activity is ongoing.

Factional tensions in areas of the north continue, with some reported
reinforcement of artillery and troops.  Recent clashes between Junbish and
Jamiat local commanders in Kodi Barq, located 18 kilometers west of
Mazar-e-Sharif in Balkh Province, have resulted in the displacement of
more than 1,000 villagers who fled to neighboring districts.  The Afghan
National Security Council and the Mazar Security Commission, which
includes UNAMA, have intervened to try and broker a cease-fire.
Separately, efforts aimed at disarmament of local factions in Gosfandi,
Sar-e-Pul Province stalled this week.  Disarmament was to follow a
cease-fire brokered by UNAMA and the Afghan Security Commission on August
12 after fighting in the area left eight persons dead.

The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF)  reported that there
have been five low intensity explosions in Kabul during the past two
weeks.  The most recent of these occurred on August 29 when a bomb
exploded in the basement of an abandoned building in the center of Kabul,
injuring a child.  On August 25, a bomb placed in a dustbin outside of the
U.N. guesthouse in Kabul exploded, injuring two Afghans.  In a separate
incident the same evening, an explosion between two abandoned buildings
near the Intercontinental hotel did not result in any casualties.  Two
previous explosions casing no injury occurred near a local cinema, and
outside of the Ministry of Communications.  On August 20, a sixth bomb was
found unexploded in a crowded bazaar along Kabul's airport road.

Press reports indicate that al-Qaeda elements are regrouping along both
sides of the Pakistani border in eastern and northeastern Afghanistan.
U.S.  military officials also indicate an increase in the number of
incidents involving both anti-government factional forces and al-Qaeda
elements in the east and the southeast of the country, including a rocket
attack August 28 on Jalalabad airport causing minor damage, and another
unsuccessful rocket attack August 25 on U.S. Special Forces in Kunar
Province.  In Kandahar Province, UNAMA reports two men were killed on
August 19 when a bomb they were planting on a dais to be used in Afghan
Independence Day celebrations in the sports stadium exploded prematurely.

In the central highlands, UNAMA reports that ongoing ethnic and factional
tension between Tajik Jamiat forces and Hazara Hizb-e-Wahdat forces
threatens displacement of villagers in northern Bamiyan Province.  In
northern Uruzgan Province, lawlessness and factional fighting related to
the drug trade are reported.  In the west of the country, tensions between
a rival local commander in Shindand and Herat governor Ismail Khan
continue.  Separately, a clash between two villages in Ghor Province
reportedly left 30 dead.  Tensions are also reported between General Daoud
and a local commander in the northeastern Takhar Province.

Winter Preparation.  The ITGA Afghan Assistance Coordination Authority
(AACA) and the ITGA Ministry for Rural Reconstruction and Development,
working with the U.N. Joint Logistics Center (UNJLC) and other U.N.
agencies, NGOs, and provincial authorities, is in the process of
finalizing a common humanitarian assistance strategy for the coming
winter.  A Task Force meeting was held on August 21 during which
priorities were established.  The strategy will address both urban issues
affecting recently returned refugees, as well as rural winter access
issues, including pre-positioning of food and non-food supplies in areas
that will become cut-off by heavy snows.  Some NGOs and U.N. agencies have
expressed concern that there is not sufficient time or funding before
winter to implement the strategy.

A survey conducted by U.N. Habitat in Kabul city indicates approximately
400 families are currently squatting in public spaces, with an additional
7,000 families living in damaged homes.  These families may require
winterization assistance, in addition to the roughly 6,000 vulnerable
families who normally require blankets or heating assistance each year.

Food Aid and Agriculture.  The U.N. World Food Program (WFP) is warning
that based on the current level of donor contributions, there will be a
shortfall in the wheat aid this winter.  Current shortages are having an
impact on the ability of WFP to plan for pre-positioning of food in
September and October in winter-inaccessible areas.

A recent U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) survey to assess the
effects of drought on livestock in 498 villages in 10 districts of Balkh,
Jawzjan, Sar-e-Pul, and Faryab provinces revealed:  (a) six percent of
families have still not returned to their places of origin due to drought;
(b) only 17 percent of the pre-drought cattle herd remain; (c)  only 21
percent of the pre-drought sheep herd remain; (d) over 90 percent of the
villagers are dependent on agriculture and livestock as their primary
means of survival.  A recent study by WFP of the nomadic Kuchi in Ghazni
and Zabul provinces also shows that 85 to 95 percent of livestock herds
have been lost due to drought.

Data from this year's FAO/WFP Afghanistan Crop and Food Assessment
indicate that while yields have increased significantly (82 percent over
last year's drought crop) due to better precipitation and the provision of
international assistance in those areas that were planted this season,
more than 6 million of the most vulnerable Afghans will continue to
require targeted food assistance.  In addition to the effects of drought,
rural indebtedness, loss of productive assets, and lack of purchasing
power contribute to high food insecurity.  WFP's 2002-2003 Vulnerability
and Analysis Mapping (VAM) assessment is still underway.  Preliminary
results are expected in late September.

IDPs and Refugees.  More than 1.6 million Afghan refugees have been
assisted in returning home through the joint U.N. High Commission for
Refugees (UNHCR) and ITGA voluntary repatriation program that began on
March 1.  UNHCR expects more than two million Afghans to return home in
2002.

Due to budgetary constraints including an unexpectedly high level of
return, UNHCR has been forced to cut programs.  There is a fear that
inadequate levels of reintegration assistance will result in some refugees
leaving again for Pakistan this winter.

More than 1.4 million Afghans have voluntarily returned from Pakistan
since March 1, the vast majority passing through the Takhtabaig voluntary
repatriation center near Peshawar, Pakistan.  Kabul and Nangarhar
provinces in the east have together absorbed nearly two out of every three
returnees.

According to UNHCR, the pace of returns from Pakistan has now stabilized
at around 3,000 per day, after having notably declined over the past
several weeks.  Returns at the summer peak had averaged more than 10,000
per day.

Press reports on August 30 indicate that a dispute between tribesman and
local authorities in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province has led to
demonstrations blocking the Peshawar to Jalalabad road on both sides of
the border, halting traffic.

According to UNHCR, more than 170,000 Afghans have returned home from Iran
since its repatriation program began on April 9.  Afghans return through
the Milak-Zaranj border crossing in the south or the northern Islam Qala
border at Dogharun.  From Islam Qala, many returning Afghans have gone on
to areas outside the western province of Herat, mainly to Kabul and other
urban centers.

UNHCR continued to express concern that Iranian authorities are pressuring
Afghan refugees to involuntarily leave Iran.  UNHCR cited statistics
showing a sharp increase in returns in August, as more than 50,000 Afghans
crossed the border this month, roughly double the total for July.  In
early August, the Government of Iran set a deadline of August 27 for
Afghans who were not registered in Iran to obtain exit permits and leave
the country.  Following the expiration of that deadline, press reports
quoting Iranian officials indicate that Iranian police will now arrest
unregistered Afghans and force their repatriation.  UNHCR reports that
approximately 40 percent of returnees taking part in the voluntary
UNHCR-assisted return program from Iran this month have been undocumented
Afghans.

UNHCR continues to move displaced Afghan families from the Chaman/Spin
Boldak border crossing with Pakistan into a new IDP camp at Zhare Dasht, a
desert area 30 km west of the city of Kandahar.  To date, approximately
2,000 IDPs have been moved, with approximately 100 families moving per
day.  The new camp is ready to accept 30,000 IDPs and its capacity can be
expanded to 60,000.  UNHCR has some concern that the new camp may attract
too large a number of the estimated 400,000 IDPs scattered across the
south.  There are 25,000 displaced Afghans awaiting assistance in Chaman
and another 30,000 in Spin Boldak, the majority of whom have been camped
in extremely poor conditions along the border for several months following
Pakistani refusal to grant them entry as refugees.  On August 23, an
unexplained explosion in the camp in Spin Boldak, possibly from a
landmine, killed one man and injured five children.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM)  continues with its
program of assisting internally displaced persons (IDPs) to return to
their places of origin in the northern, central, and western parts of
Afghanistan.  Most of the IDPs had been living in IDP camps in Balkh and
Herat provinces.  Since mid-June, IOM has assisted in the return of more
than 70,000 IDPs – 45,000 from Balkh, 27,000 from Heart, and 5,000 from
Kabul.

Since the beginning of the year, IOM has provided return assistance to
more than 300,0000 IDPs and refugees returning to their homes in 25 of 32
provinces across the country.  IOM estimates that despite the success of
its return program, there will still remain an estimated 300,000 IDPs in
the north, central, and western regions that cannot return home due to
continued vulnerability or ethnic persecution.

According to an informal survey of NGOs in Herat, approximately 1,000 IDPs
arrived in Herat city in July, a notable increase over the estimated 200
arrivals in June.  Many of these were ethnic Pashtuns fleeing persecution
in Faryab Province in the north;  however, some were returned IDPs who
found conditions in their village too poor to remain for the winter.
UNAMA reports that persistent drought in some areas of southern Zabul and
Helmand provinces has led to new small-scale population displacements.

Health.  In Badghis Province in the west, UNAMA reports the average
malaria prevalence rate in some villages of Abkamary District is
approximately nine percent of the total population.  Distribution of
mosquito nets and drugs to the affected villages is in progress.
Diagnostic assistance will also be provided, as the hospital laboratory in
the provincial capital is inadequate to handle the caseload.

According to the U.N. System Standing Committee on Nutrition, the overall
nutrition situation within Afghanistan remains precarious.  Continuing
drought, physical insecurity, and acute food insecurity in many areas of
the country were cited as factors.  A seasonal decrease in nutritional
status over the summer months was expected in line with the diarrheal
season.  The U.N. Children's Fund (UNICEF) reports that nearly half of
Afghan children suffer from chronic malnutrition.



USG HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE

Background.  On October 4, 2001, Assistant Secretary of State for South
Asian Affairs Christina B. Rocca redeclared a complex humanitarian
disaster in Afghanistan for FY 2002.  To date, FY 2001 and FY 2002 USG
humanitarian assistance for Afghanistan has been provided by USAID/OFDA,
Food for Peace (USAID/FFP), Democracy & Governance (USAID/DG), Office of
Transition Initiatives (USAID/OTI), United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA), Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees,
and Migration (State/PRM), Department of State's Humanitarian Demining
Program (State/HDP), the Department of State's Bureau of International
Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (State/INL), the Department of
Defense (DOD), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The assistance is for displaced persons inside Afghanistan and Afghan
refugees in neighboring countries.

On March 26, 2002, U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Robert P. Finn issued a
disaster declaration due to the earthquake in Baghlan Province.
USAID/OFDA responded by providing an additional $25,000 in Disaster
Assistance Authority to ACTED, one of many USAID-funded grantees that are
providing humanitarian assistance to the affected population.

In Tajikistan, on October 10, 2001, U.S. Chargé d'Affaires James A.
Boughner declared a disaster due to drought, and requested funds for a
seed and fertilizer distribution program.  USAID/OFDA responded by
providing $998,180 through the U.S.  Embassy to Cooperative for American
Relief Everywhere (CARE) for the purchase and distribution of winter wheat
seeds and fertilizer.


USAID/OFDA ASSISTANCE

Personnel.  On June 7, the USAID/OFDA Disaster Assistance Response Team
(DART) based in Kabul was deactivated to become a USAID/OFDA Program
Office.  The USAID/DART had been in the region since June 2001.
USAID/OFDA staff in Kabul will continue to coordinate with the
humanitarian relief community, assess the humanitarian situation, and
monitor USAID/OFDA programs.
