Situation Report #34, Fiscal Year (FY) 2002   May 24, 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.  Progress continued in the first and second phases of
preparation for the Loya Jirga.  The U.N.  Security Council approved a
six-month extension for the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF)
in Kabul.  In Khost, British marines were attacked and a potential attack
on an airfield used by Coalition forces was thwarted.  A new survey shows
low levels of crop damage by locusts in Samangan Province.  Localized
flooding was reported in Bamiyan Province. Breaks in the U.N. World Food
Program (WFP) food pipeline led to suspension of some programs.  The pace
of Afghan refugees returns remained steady, with more than 725,000 returns
since March 1.  The World Health Organization (WHO) reported a severe
outbreak of leishmaniasis in Kabul.

Political/Military.  The first phase of the Loya Jirga process continued
this week, and there are an estimated 65 districts remaining that need to
conduct assemblies (shuras) to select district representatives.
Ultimately, each of the county's 381 districts will have held shuras.
Sixteen districts have completed second phase elections to select their
district's delegation to the Loya Jirga to be held June 10-16 in Kabul.
District representatives met in Mazar on May 21 and were expected to meet
in Bamiyan on May 23- 24.  Additional second phase meetings are planned
for Jalalabad on May 27-30, in Kunduz on June 1, and are ongoing in Kabul.
Eventually, 1,051 Afghans will be chosen to attend the Loya Jirga, with an
additional 450 seats reserved for various Afghan institutions and groups.
Under the Bonn Agreement, the Loya Jirga will determine a two-year
transitional government until elections are held.

Operation Condor in eastern Afghanistan ended on May 22 without finding
al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters.  The Coalition operation was launched on
May 16 following an attack on an Australian patrol in the mountains of
Paktia Province.

The U.N. Security Council approved a six-month extension for the ISAF in
Kabul, but rejected expansion of the ISAF beyond Kabul.  The initial six-
month mandate of the ISAF ends on June 20.  Turkey will assume leadership
of the ISAF from Britain next month.  The British chief of the ISAF
indicated that the security force would concentrate in the coming weeks on
preventing violence that could disrupt the Loya Jirga process.

Security. Reports from just north of Jalalabad indicate that the
provincial governor deployed 1,000 troops to contain an unruly warlord.
The U.N. has suspended all ground movement between Kabul and Jalalabad.

Three attackers in a car fired on 12 British marines near Khost on May 23.
The marines were not injured and returned fire, wounding two of the
attackers.  On May 21, U.S. warplanes bombed 15 to 20 suspected al Qaeda
and Taliban fighters as they dug four mortar pits near the airfield at
Khost.  The airfield is used by Coaltion forces and has been the target of
several attempted rocket attacks, none resulting in casualties.

An Afghan who was selected on May 19 to choose delegates for the Loya
Jirga, Mohammad Rahim, was shot dead later the same day at his home in the
village of Adok, Chaghcharan District, Ghor Province.  A U.N. spokesman
noted that the motivation for the murder was not yet known.

On May 23, General Abdul Rashid Dostum freed 512 men, captured months ago
during fighting with the Taliban, from the Shibergan prison in northern
Afghanistan.  The prisoners, primarily ethnic Pashtuns from the south,
will arrive in Kabul on Friday and return to their homes.  The release was
urged by Hamid Karzai, and follows Dostum's release of 200 prisoners in
early May and 800 earlier this week.  Six hundred Afghans and 600
Pakistanis remain in the overcrowded prison under poor living conditions.
Dostum's rival, Atta Mohammed, recently released eight ethnic Uzbeks from
a jail in Mazar-e-Sharif.  Dostum and Mohammed previously clashed in Balkh
and Sar-e-Pul provinces, but reached a truce on May 5 and are working to
implement a peace agreement.

The AIA maintained its threat to use military force against warlord
Padshah Khan if he did not surrender himself to authorities.  A Foreign
Ministry spokesman indicated that action may be taken against Khan before
the Loya Jirga.  Khan fired hundreds of rockets on Gardez on April 27 in
an attempt to reclaim the governorship after Karzai replaced Khan with
Governor Wardak last month.

Locust.  Locusts have reached the flying stage in Baghlan and Samangan
provinces.  In addition to crop areas, mature locusts have emerged from
breeding grounds in the hills.  The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization
(FAO) reported that 5,827 hectares out of 219,187 hectares of planted
wheat in Samangan Province had been destroyed by locusts as of May 1, less
than three percent of the crop.  FAO is continuing its locust campaign for
the duration of the wheat harvest (another 30 to 40 days), and aims to
keep the damage at existing levels or at five percent or less.  FAO
believes that the damage estimates will be similar in Baghlan and Kunduz,
the other two most affected provinces.

FAO, with USAID/OFDA and British Department for International Development
(DFID) support, and in cooperation with the AIA, local authorities, and
international organizations, has been coordinating a program of manual and
chemical eradication since the early spring. On May 24, the U.N. was
scheduled to transport a delayed shipment of 10,000 liters of pesticide to
Mazar to support ongoing eradication efforts.

Floods.  Localized flooding in Waras District, Bamiyan Province on May 15
killed one person, destroyed seven homes, and affected 25,000 people.
Floods also damaged 20 to 25 percent of agricultural land, killed
livestock, and damaged or destroyed irrigation canals.  Fifteen kilometers
of the Waras- Panjab road were impassable due to landslides, cutting off
humanitarian aid routes into the town.  Aid agencies dispatched 1,000
jerry cans and medical supplies, including a UNICEF medical kit with
antibiotics and preventive medicine for 10,000 people.

Food Aid and Logistics.  Since September 11, 2001, WFP, with support from
USAID, has delivered 462,429 MT of food into Afghanistan, of which 369,527
MT has been distributed throughout the country, assisting some 6.6 million
Afghans.

WFP continues to report breaks in their food pipeline due to insufficient
supply.  WFP anticipates that its deliveries into Afghanistan through July
will amount to 171,000 MT, a shortfall of 30,000 MT from the required
level of distribution.  Due to the shortage, WFP has suspended 12 projects
in Kandahar and stopped dispatching food in the central and western areas.
WFP has also had to suspend some of its Food For Work and Food For Asset
Creation programs.

WFP staff are registering an additional 5,000-5,500 vulnerable households
in Kabul, and plan to establish 10-15 new women operated bakeries to serve
this population.  The bakeries would employ up to 500 women.  From January
to March 2002, WFP's 21 bakeries in Kabul produced 33,500 loaves of bread
daily.  WFP's school feeding program, launched on March 30, is providing
fortified bread to approximately 17,000 school children in Kabul and
Jalalabad.  WFP is making preparations to begin school feeding programs in
other cities.

 WFP and FAO are planning a crop assessment that will be completed before
the July harvest.  The assessment will provide an overview of the food and
agriculture situation, summarize the food production forecast for
2001/2002, and summarize the cereal supply and demand and food aid
requirements for 2002/2003.

USAID/OFDA grantee Save the Children implemented a nutritional survey in
Belcheragh District, Faryab Province in April.  WFP has previously
identified Belcheragh as a vulnerable area in terms of food security.
Initial results of the survey indicate that the food security situation in
Belcheragh appears to have improved, as both acute and chronic
malnutrition levels were low.  Save the Children is currently conducting a
nutritional survey in cooperation with the Provincial Director of the AIA
Public Ministry of Health in Kohistanat District, Sar-e-Pul, which had
been identified by WFP as inaccessible for food aid distributions from the
provincial capital.

A recent nutrition survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and UNICEF found surprisingly low levels of acute
malnutrition in Badghis Province, which has experienced prolonged drought
and sporadic food distribution this spring.  However, the survey also
found a significant level of chronic malnutrition and some signs of
micro-nutrient deficiencies that are likely chronic and seasonal.

IDPs and Refugees.  The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the
AIA, and the NGO community are preparing for the anticipated return this
summer of more than 1.2 million Afghan refugees and internally displaced
persons (IDP).  According to UNHCR, more than 725,000 Afghan refugees have
been assisted in returning home in the twelve weeks since UNHCR and the
AIA began their voluntary repatriation program in coordination with
neighboring governments. IOM reports more than 160,000 IDPs have also been
assisted in returning home.

On May 6-7, UNHCR conducted a survey at the Pul- e-Charki Encashment
Center in Kabul where 52 percent of refugees indicated Kabul was their
final destination.  Returnees were attracted to Kabul because of the
security and economic opportunity, and due to the drought in their home
villages.  Of this group, 27 percent indicated that they would return to
their own homes, while 15 percent planned to stay with a relative for a
short time until they rented their own accommodation.

UNHCR reports that more than 654,000 Afghans have returned from Pakistan
since its program began March 1.  UNHCR originally planned for 400,000
returnees from Pakistan this year, a number that was exceeded in the first
two months of the program.  UNHCR has now more than doubled planning
figures to 850,000 returns for the year.  Ninety percent of the returnees
pass through the Takhtabaig voluntary repatriation center near Peshawar,
Pakistan.  An estimated 40 percent are destined for urban centers in
Afghanistan, with roughly three in every four returnees going back to
Nangarhar and Kabul provinces.

On May 21, the Nasir Bagh refugee camp in Pakistan closed as the last
refugees returned to their homes.  The camp was established in 1980 for
Afghan refugees fleeing the Soviet occupation, and was home to more than
100,000 refugees at its peak.

UNHCR has been working to meet requests for repatriation from Afghan
refugees in Pakistan who live outside refugee hosting areas or principal
crossing points.  UNHCR staff traveled to North Waziristan on May 19 to
register 175 families with plans to return to central and northern
Afghanistan.  On May 23, a convoy carrying 4,000 Afghan refugees left
Karachi, Pakistan for Afghanistan.  Since April, an estimated 52,000
Afghan refugees have repatriated from the Sindh Province in southern
Pakistan.

UNHCR has received reports from Afghan refugees in the neighboring cities
of Islamabad and Rawalpindi who have experienced police harassment, forced
eviction, and extortion.  Pakistan's Interior Secretary established a
special government task force to respond to the reports, and has included
UNHCR in its meetings.

According to UNHCR, more than 59,000 Afghans have returned home from Iran
since its program began on April 9.  The majority of Afghans returning
from Iran have crossed at the northern Islam Qala border at Dogharun, and
have gone on to areas outside Herat Province, mainly to Kabul and other
urban centers.  The Milak-Zaranj border crossing in the south, closed due
to factional fighting since the voluntary repatriation began, reopened on
May 5.

UNHCR reports that approximately 10,000 Afghans have been assisted in
returning home from the northern Central Asia states, including Tajikistan
and Turkmenistan.

Last week, UNHCR began voluntary return operations for the 80,000
displaced persons at the Chaman and Spin Boldak sites near the
Afghanistan- Pakistan border.  Only a portion of the population is
expected to take part in the returns. Drought-affected nomads and farmers,
along with ethnic Pashtuns who fled persecution in the north, are not yet
willing to leave the border area to return to their homes.  UNHCR is
surveying alternate camp sites for these IDPs.  UNHCR has assisted 866
Afghans in Spin Boldak return to their homes in Kandahar Province.  In
recent weeks, more that 1,500 refugees left the Chaman site just inside
Pakistan for Afghanistan.  UNHCR is advising the displaced population at
both border sites about return options, conditions, and assistance.  IDPs
returning from Spin Boldak receive a transport allowance, a UNHCR family
kit, and three months of food aid from WFP.

IOM announced that it would have to suspend all of its Internal Transport
Network operations for IDPs in Afghanistan on May 27 if it does not
receive pledges of $10 million.  Most of IOM's IDP operations were
suspended two weeks ago due to a funding shortage.

Since late February, IOM has transported thousands of IDPs to their home
provinces in cooperation with UNHCR.  IOM-assisted returns have included
1,300 IDPs from Kabul to Bamiyan Province; 55,000 IDPs from Herat IDP
camps to Herat and Badghis provinces; 48,000 IDPs in Mazar-e-Sharif to
several provinces in northern Afghanistan; 8,200 IDPS from Bamiyan
Province to the Shaigan Valley, Baghlan Province; and 28,538 IDPs from the
Hesar Shahi camp near Jalalabad to their villages in Nangarhar, Laghman,
Kunar, and Kabul provinces.

Health.  A recent evaluation headed by WHO found that an outbreak of
leishmaniasis, a non-lethal skin disfiguring disease, was particularly
severe in Kabul with an estimated 200,000 cases.  WHO has provided
impregnated mosquito bednets to protect against transmission of the
disease by sandflies, in addition to drugs to treat 35,000 cases.  WHO is
developing an emergency action plan to control the situation in Kabul by
the end of 2003.  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 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.  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.
