Situation Report #28, Fiscal Year (FY) 2002    April 12, 2002

Note: this Situation Report updates previous Central Asia Task Force
Situation Reports and Fact Sheets.

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
reconstruction.  Tens of thousands of refugee and internally displaced
families have started to return to their homes to assist in the
rebuilding.  The U.S. Agency for International Development's Disaster
Assistance Response Team (USAID/DART), which began its emergency
coordination work in response to the regional drought in June 2001,
continues to assess the humanitarian needs of vulnerable Afghans, and to
monitor the relief programs of its implementing partners.

CURRENT SITUATION

Overview.  Three possible mass graves were reported discovered in Bamiyan
Province.  An Afghan worker for an U.N agency was murdered in
Mazar-e-Sharif, Balkh Province, and another was shot in Faisabad,
Badakshan Province.  Several rockets were fired at peacekeepers in Kabul,
with no reported injuries.  The AIA Minister of Defense narrowly escaped a
bomb attack in Jalalabad that killed five bystanders.  Factional fighting
in Nimruz Province, and farmers protesting poppy eradication in Nangarhar
Province, temporarily disrupted refugee returns from Iran and Pakistan.
An earthquake of 5.8 magnitude struck Nahrin District, Baghlan Province,
killing or injuring more than 100 people.  Initial results of the World
Food Program (WFP)'s countrywide emergency needs assessment indicate
continued, and in some cases worsened, drought-related food insecurity.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM)  assisted internally
displaced persons (IDPs) to return home this week from Mazar-e-Sharif,
Herat, and the Pyandj River on the Tajik border.  A joint nutrition survey
in Badghis Province found the population in generally poor health,
especially children under five.

Political/Military.  On April 5, the reported discovery of three possible
mass graves in Bamiyan Province was brought to the attention of the U.N.
Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) and the AIA by representatives
of the Hazara community in Bamiyan Province.  A mass grave is defined by
the U.N. as a burial site containing three or more victims of execution.
These graves alledgedly contain the bodies of members of the Hazara
community killed approximately one month before the fall of the Taliban.
A joint UNAMA and AIA team, comprised of the U.N. Human Rights Advisor,
the U.N. Police Advisor, and an AIA representative of the Minister of
Interior, were dispatched to Bamiyan Province.  The team visited the
sites, was undertaking a preliminary assessment and verification, and was
consulting with the local community and authorities.  On April 11, UNAMA
requested the assistance of international forensic experts to further
their investigation.

Security.  On April 10, an Afghan worker for the U.N. Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO) was murdered in Mazar-e-Sharif.  Lakhdar Brahimi, the
U.N. Special Representative to Afghanistan, called the murder part of a
"disturbing pattern of attacks on civilians including humanitarian
personnel in the northern region in recent months."  On April 5, an Afghan
staff member of another international agency was shot and wounded in
Faizabad near the U.N.  offices.  Previous attacks in January and February
in the north targeted Afghans working for the U.N. or private relief
agencies.

On April 12, heavy fighting was reported 25 miles west of Kabul between
two rival factions.  On April 8, factional fighting reportedly erupted
around the Afghan border city of Zaranj, the capital of Nimruz Province
(see the Refugees section of this report for the effect of this fighting
on the program of assisted returns from Iran).

On April 9, an Afghan soldier was killed when his vehicle ran over a
landmine in Kandahar Province.  On the same day, attackers in Paktia
Province threw two grenades at a military truck carrying an Afghan patrol
working with U.S. forces, killing one person in the truck and the two
assailants.

On April 8, AIA Defense Minister Mohammed Fahim escaped injury when a bomb
exploded in front of his convoy in Jalalabad, Nangarhar Province.  Five
bystanders were killed and 16 others were injured in the attack, according
to local officials.  On April 10, four suspects were reportedly arrested
in connection with the attack.

The start of the AIA's poppy eradication program on April 8 was linked to
the outbreak of violence in several places.  According to news reports,
poor poppy farmers are protesting the government's cash compensatory offer
for destroyed poppy flower fields as only a fraction of the narcotic's
eventual market value, and insufficient for farmers to be able to repay
debt incurred while planting their fields.  AIA authorities have said they
will destroy the crops if farmers do not do so.  On April 8, in Nangarhar
Province about 40 miles east of Jalalabad, farmers reportedly opened fire
on provincial officials surveying their fields, killing one person and
wounding four.  The farmers also blocked the highway between Kabul and
Pakistan and pelted vehicles with rocks.  On April 10, the protesters were
reported to have dispersed (see the Food Aid and Refugees sections of this
report for the effect of this week's insecurity in Nangarhar Province on
the provision of humanitarian assistance).  On April 7, press reports
indicate one to eight protesters were killed in a confrontation with
authorities in the southwestern Helmand Province, the country's largest
poppy growing area.

On April 7, two rockets were fired on International Security Assistance
Force (ISAF) soldiers who were patrolling an eastern Kabul suburb.
Neither rocket caused any damage or injuries.  A subsequent search located
four additional rockets on self-timers, aimed at an ISAF base, in the same
location from which the two rockets were launched.  On April 10, in raids
around Kabul, ISAF soldiers and Afghan police seized a weapons cache
consisting of 151 rockets similar to the two fired at the ISAF base, in
addition to rocket-propelled grenades, mines, and rifles.

Flood.  On April 5, the Afghan Red Crescent Society reported that flash
floods caused by heavy rains in the Deh Miran area of the northwestern
Faryab Province killed 39 people, destroyed 323 homes, and affected 843
families (4,215 people).  According to reports from the U.N. Regional
Co-ordinator in the Faryab capital Maimana, a joint assessment team sent
to Deh Marin on April 6 found considerable damage to cropland, especially
the irrigated land around the village, with varying levels of damage to
houses.  Local leaders reported burying 13 bodies, with 11 people missing,
following a hailstorm and heavy rains on March 29.  There were no injuries
reported.  A second helicopter assessment team passing over the area did
not report sighting any extensive damage to crops or homes from the air.
UNAMA reports that any relief assistance required will be provided by
sufficient stocks available in the region.

Earthquake.  On April 12, at 8:30 am local time, an earthquake measuring
5.8 on the Richter scale struck Nahrin District, Baghlan Province in
northeastern Afghanistan, approximately 90 miles north of Kabul.  Initial
UNAMA reports indicate 27 people died and approximately 120 were injured.
According to USAID/OFDA grantee Agency for Technical Cooperation and
Development (ACTED), most of the casualties occurred in the village of
Dawabi, some 25 miles southeast of the epicenter of the March 25
earthquake, measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale, which killed 800 and
affected approximately 70,000 people in the area.  Organizations operating
under existing USAID grants, which had redirected assistance to help meet
the emergency food, water, and shelter needs of those affected by the last
earthquake, will continue to provide humanitarian assistance to any new
victims following this latest tremor.  Many people in Nahrin District were
living in tents after the March 25 quake, and may have been spared injury
this time from newly collapsed houses and buildings.  UNAMA has sent a
helicopter mission to the region to assess damages and relief needs.

Food Aid and Logistics.  Since October 2001, WFP, with support from USAID,
has delivered 407,643 MT of food into Afghanistan, of which 326,230 MT has
been distributed throughout the country, assisting some 6.6 million
food-insecure Afghans.

Insecurity in northeastern Nangarhar Province this week forced the
suspension of nine WFP monitoring missions, and temporarily halted the
delivery and distribution of food assistance from the Jalalabad warehouse.

Initial results of the WFP's countrywide Rapid Emergency Food Needs
Assessments (REFNA) are becoming available.  As of April 5, 48 helicopter
assessments had been completed in the north, and 14 helicopter assessments
had been completed in Ghor and Badghis provinces in the west.  WFP has
also undergone several road assessments in these areas, along with road
assessments in southern and eastern regions of the country.  Assessments
by helicopter in the central highlands should begin by late April.
According to WFP, the findings typically indicate that in villages without
any irrigation infrastructure, people are heavily reliant on food aid to
cope with the drought.  In villages with irrigation, the food security
situation for some landowning villagers was better, but many were still
reliant on food aid to constitute at least part of their family's daily
food requirements.  In some villages, beneficiaries told WFP teams that
food aid had helped not only to feed their families, but it had also
prevented the sale of family land and livestock, had assisted the poorest
in repaying loans taken earlier to meet food needs, had prevented
out-migration from Afghanistan, and had halted the early marriage of
daughters.  In other more vulnerable villages, WFP found that conditions
had deteriorated, and in addition to increased and diversified food aid,
more non-food items such as seeds and medicine were needed.  WFP reports
that a large proportion of families in nearly every village assessed
remain in a weak food security position and will continue to rely on food
assistance over the coming months to prevent another hunger crisis.

Melting snow compounded by heavy rain has continued to deteriorate road
conditions between Faisabad, Badakshan Province and Taloqan, Takhar
Province in the northeast, according to WFP.

IDPs and Refugees.  The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the
AIA, and the NGO community are preparing for the anticipated return home
this summer of up to 1.2 million Afghan refugees and IDPs (approximately
400,000 refugees from Pakistan, 400,000 refugees from Iran, and 400,000
IDPs in Afghanistan).

Several security incidents this week hindered refugee returns (see
Security section of this report).  On April 9, UNHCR recommended that
Afghan refugees from Pakistan halt returns via the Torkham border crossing
due to roadblocks set by protesting poppy farmers in Nangarhar Province
along the route to Jalalabad.  UNHCR staff were reportedly unable to reach
the Mohmandar encashment center, where returnees from Pakistan receive
their cash grants.  The April 8 bombing in Jalalabad took place near
UNHCR's distribution center, which was then temporarily closed.
According to UNHCR, this week's roadblocks and tension stranded 14,000
Afghan returnees on the road between Torkham and Jalalabad, and forced
some 18,000 Afghans to delay their return home after registering at the
Takhtabaig voluntary repatriation center in Pakistan.  Refugee returns
resumed on April 10 after the protesting poppy farmers permitted trucks
carrying returnees to pass.

According to UNHCR, more than 223,000 Afghans have returned from Pakistan
since its program of voluntary assisted repatriation began March 1 at
Takhtabaig, in North West Frontier Province (NWFP).  In response to the
growing number of returnees, UNHCR opened a new registration center on
April 8 at Mohamand Ghat near the Nawa Pass in NWFP, and another at
Balili, just outside of Quetta, in Baluchistan Province to the south.
UNHCR mobile registration teams are also operating in NWFP, Baluchistan,
and Sindh provinces.  UNHCR plans to open additional registration centers
next week, including one at Azakhiel near Peshawar and another in Karachi.

On April 9, UNHCR began the voluntary assisted repatriation process from
Iran.  Registration centers were set-up in Teheran, elsewhere throughout
the country, and in the first week of the program, 1,300 Afghans elected
to return home.  Returns this summer are expected to average 1,600 per
day, six days a week.  The Afghans left Iran via the Islam Qala crossing
point at Dogharun in the north, and on the Afghan side of the border were
boarded onto IOM trucks for the onward journey.  At the Jami Settlement
and the Gazergah Transit Center in Herat, returnees receive $10 - half the
sum provided to returnees from Pakistan since IOM provides transport up to
their home provinces - to finance their final travel home, as well as
UNHCR family packages containing plastic tarpaulins, jerrycans, blankets,
a sleeping mat, soap, hygienic items, and 150 kilograms of wheat.  This
week NGO Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) expressed concern about the
voluntary return program, noting economic and social pressure on Iran to
reach a target number of returns, and citing the alledged forcible return
of 6,800 Afghans through the Milak crossing in the last three weeks.

On April 8, fighting reportedly erupted around the Afghan border city of
Zaranj, the capital of Nimruz Province.  The tension forced UNHCR to halt
plans to begin repatriating Afghans from Iran through the southern
Milak-Zaranj border crossing.  UNHCR instead directed returnees to the
primary Islam Qala crossing in the north.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM)  continues to assist
with voluntary IDP returns across Afghanistan.  On April 8, IOM and the
NGO GOAL carried out the first of three IDP returns from Mazar- e-Sharif,
Balkh Province to neighboring Jowzjan Province.  A total of 3,133 persons
will be assisted to return to this area over the coming days.  On April 10
and 11, IOM assisted 500 IDP families (2,500 people) from Mazar-e-Sharif
to return to Dar-e-Suf District, Samangan Province.  Last week, IOM
assisted 2,852 returnees to Dar-e-Suf District.  From April 5-8, IOM
assisted 2,789 Afghans from Maslakh camp in Herat to return to their
villages in Herat and Badghis provinces.  To date, IOM has assisted 15,014
people who had been living in Maslakh camp to return home.  Local
authorities are reportedly pressing IOM to increase the number of daliy
returns.

In northern Afghanistan, IDPs have begun leaving camps on the islands in
the Pyandj river, which forms the border between Tajikistan and
Afghanistan.  Since April 8, some 3,862 people boarded barges and crossed
the river, where IOM trucks took them home to Kunduz Province and they
received UNHCR returnee kits and WFP food aid.

According to WFP, the number of Afghans waiting to enter Pakistan at the
Chaman border crossing outside the Killi Faizo transit camp was 41,000.
UNHCR reports that some of these Afghans have been waiting at Chaman for
two months.

Health.  With USAID/OFDA support, a Nutrition and Mortality Survey
conducted in March by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the U.N.
Children's Fund (UNICEF) in Badghis Province found generally poor health
among the population.  The survey concluded that chronic malnutrition is a
very common problem affecting children under age five, and the mortality
rate of children in this age group is statistically greater than the
standard defining an emergency situation.  The estimated crude mortality
rate for the population at large, however, does not exceed emergency rates
or the rate previously estimated for all of Afghanistan in the early
1990s.  The Survey concluded that the one-time food distributions carried
out in Badghis during the winter likely had little impact on the poor
nutritional status of most children, and did not evenly reach heads of
households. Strategies recommended by the Survey for addressing the
nutrition problems indicated include targeted supplementary feeding
programs for children, fortified wheat flour, and a regular food supply
rather than single blanket distributions.



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 Afghans is 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 who 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.  USAID/OFDA currently has one Disaster Assistance Response Team
(DART) based in Kabul to assess humanitarian activities and logistical
capacity in the region.  USAID/DART members coordinate with the
humanitarian relief community and assess the humanitarian situation.
