CENTRAL ASIA REGION - Complex Emergency
Situation Report #40, Fiscal Year (FY) 2002    August 2, 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.  President Hamid Karzai made a number of appointments to local
and provincial government.  Efforts at disarmament continue in the north
and northeast.  Armed clashes broke out between Ismail Khan and Pashtun
rivals in western Afghanistan.  A suspected suicide bomber was caught in
Kabul with a car full of explosives.  Ongoing military activity in eastern
Afghanistan has led to a suspension of some U.N. missions in the area.
U.N. agencies and the NGO community met in Kabul to discuss strategies for
humanitarian assistance delivery this winter.  The World Food Program
(WFP) is warning that a shortage in donor contributions will lead to a
break in the food aid pipeline this fall.  The results of preliminary crop
assessments show increased production due to better rains during the last
harvest, but a continuing large grain deficit.  The U.N.  reports that
chronic malnutrition levels remain persistently high.  A three-day polio
vaccination campaign targeted high-risk districts in the south.

Political/Military.  On July 29, Radio Afghanistan announced that ITGA
President Karzai appointed a new mayor of Kabul.  The previous mayor, who
served in the same position in the early 1990's and was re-instated after
the fall of the Taliban in 2001, offered to resign after Karzai told
business leaders that there was corruption in city hall.

On July 28, ITGA President Karzai announced the appointment of four
governors of the central provinces of Logar, Kunar, Baghlan, and Laghman.
The appointees will replace four men who had assumed the governorships
following the fall of the Taliban in December.

On July 26, Karzai appointed the brother of recently assassinated ITGA
Vice-President Abdul Qadir to serve as governor of Nangarhar province.
Karzai has not made a decision regarding a replacement for the vacant
vice-president position.  On July 22, thousands had peacefully protested
in Jalalabad calling on Karzai to appoint Qadir's brother to the
governor's post.  On July 26, another rally was held in Jalalabad
demanding the arrest of Qadir's killers.

The U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) reports that a locally
administered disarmament program in the northern province of Balkh
involving the forces of Abdul Rashid Dostum's Junbish Party, Atta
Mohammad's Jamiat Party, and UNAMA observers has to date collected 400
weapons.  According to the Institute of War and Peace Reporting, a
national campaign to collect weapons under the ITGA Defense Ministry's
Commission for Collecting Arms has thus far gathered 50,000 heavy and
light armaments from five provinces in the northeast.

Security.  According to news reports, on July 31 fighting broke out
between the forces of Herat Governor Ismail Khan and a local Pashtun
warlord 40 miles west of Herat city.  Several dozen casualties were
reported.  Separately, during the week of July 6, a local commander south
of Herat took control of a number of checkpoints in the area around
Shindand city in southern Herat Province, reportedly with support from the
Governor of Kandahar Province.  Khan responded with 2,000 troops to
confront the local commander, resulting in several days of fighting and at
least 25 deaths.  During the week of July 22, representatives from the
ITGA succeeded in negotiating a ceasefire.  UNAMA reports that limited
fighting also broke out in Herat during the week of July 14 between Khan's
forces and forces of a local commander who recently separated himself from
Khan's control.  Khan is reportedly massing a larger force, including
tanks, to confront the splinter militia.

On August 1, UNAMA reports that the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organisation
(FAO) and the U.N.  High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) offices in the
city of Kandahar were attacked with a hand grenade thrown by an assailant
on a motorbike. Initial reports said that the explosion shattered windows
but did not cause any injuries.

On July 29, the Afghan Department of National Security announced the
arrest in Kabul of a man whose car was wired with a half a ton of
explosives.  The man reportedly intended to use his car as a suicide
weapon, but was stopped by police after he fled from a minor traffic
accident approximately 300 meters from the U.S. Embassy.  Afghan
authorities expressed concern that the intended target may have been
President Karzai or another member of his cabinet.  Two Afghan cabinet
members have been assassinated this year, one in February and one more
recently in July.

In the eastern provinces of Paktia and Khost, U.N.  Missions were
suspended this week following an increase in military activity by local
factional leaders, al-Qaeda elements, and Coalition forces.  On July 27,
news reports indicated several Coalition soldiers were injured and two
Afghans soldiers killed in a gun battle in Paktia Province.

In the northern districts of Uruzgan Province, several NGOs report that
low level drug-related conflict and criminal banditry have recently
increased, as has the production of poppy.

On July 27, UNAMA reported that police in Herat delivered a notice to the
UNAMA compound in Herat recommending that all U.N. agencies and
international NGOs hire armed guards for their compounds.  The local
office of the ITGA Ministry of Foreign Affairs had endorsed the notice.
U.N.  officials informed the local police that they were satisfied with
the existing U.N. security procedures, and the police departed.  No other
international agency reported receiving a notice.

On July 20, a public bus traveling in the central highland Bamiyan
Province moved off the main road and hit a land mine.  According to news
reports, eleven passengers were killed and thirteen more injured.
Vehicles from three international NGOs operating in the area transported
the injured to the local hospital.  The incident highlights the continuing
threat landmines pose to civilians in Afghanistan.

On July 18, unknown attackers killed the Deputy Investigations Officer of
the ITGA Ministry of the Judiciary in Kandahar.  On the same day, two
soldiers of the Afghan National Army were killed by assailants on a
motorbike in Kandahar.

On July 18, clashes between Afghan National Army troops and local
factional forces in the eastern province of Nangargar led to the temporary
suspension of U.N. missions to that province.  On July 12, local police in
Jalalabad, searched for and found a mobile rocket launcher 25 kilometers
to the southwest of Jalalabad following information indicating a planned
attack on the city.

Winter Preparation.  The U.N. Joint Logistics Center (UNJLC) hosted a
two-day workshop in Kabul on July 14-15 for field staff of U.N. agencies
and non- governmental organizations (NGOs) to develop a common
humanitarian assistance strategy for the coming winter.  The workshop,
attended by USAID/OFDA field staff, revealed that NGOs, U.N.  agencies,
and in some cases ITGA provincial officials have already been working
towards a strategy with broad-based support.  The strategy has several
main elements:  pre-positioning of food and non-food supplies in areas
which will become cut-off by winter weather; improving humanitarian and
market access roads connecting districts and keeping these areas open
through cash-for-work projects during winter months; and placing small
relief centers with commodities in district capitals to prevent
displacement of vulnerables to larger urban centers.  A follow-up meeting
with donors in Kabul will take place August 6.

Food Aid and Agriculture.  WFP is warning that based on the current level
of donor contributions, there will be a complete break in the wheat
pipeline in November.  Serious pipeline problems in May and June resulted
in distributions for those months falling significantly below
expectations.  In June, WFP had intended to provide 64,890 MT of food
assistance to beneficiaries in their "emergency" category;  however, only
12,885 MT were actually provided, 20 percent of the original target.  In
the areas of food for teacher training and food for education, only five
percent of the target food assistance was delivered in May and only 3
percent in June.

Data from this year's FAO / WFP Afghanistan Crop and Food Assessment,
conducted following the recent harvest, are still being analyzed.
Preliminary results indicate that while yields have increased due to
better precipitation in those areas that were planted this season,
Afghanistan will still experience an overall grain deficit of more than
one million MT.  The survey also indicated that the livestock sector has
been decimated, with the size of herds down by more than 90 percent in
some areas.  WFP's 2002- 2003 Vulnerability and Analysis Mapping (VAM)
assessment has begun.  Results will be available sometime in September.

According to WFP, the ongoing traders' strike at the Spin Boldak/Chaman
border crossing with Pakistan has not yet affected the delivery of food
aid into Afghanistan.  The delivery of commercial goods from southwestern
Pakistan to Kandahar has been impacted by the strike.  The traders are
protesting against the rise in transportation fares following a decision
by Spin Boldak district officials to set prices.

Since September 11, 2001, the United Nations World Food Program (WFP),
with support from USAID, has dispatched more than 575,000 MT of food into
Afghanistan, assisting some 9.8 million Afghans.

IDPs and Refugees.  Due to budgetary constraints including an unexpectedly
high level of return, UNHCR has been forced to cut programming and to
focus on four priority areas of assistance provision:  returnee travel and
limited reintegration packages, protection, shelter, and water.

More than 1.4 million Afghan refugees have been assisted in returning home
through the joint UNHCR and ITGA voluntary repatriation program that began
on March 1.  Kabul and Nangarhar province in the east have together
absorbed more than 800,000 of the new arrivals, or nearly two out of every
three returnees.  UNHCR expects more than two million Afghans to return
home in 2002.

Nearly 1.3 million Afghans have voluntarily returned from Pakistan since
March 1, with 90 percent passing through the Takhtabaig voluntary
repatriation center near Peshawar, Pakistan.  More than half of these
returnees from Pakistan came from North West Frontier Province, and 10
percent from Punjab.

On July 26, the voluntary repatriation program was disrupted by the
temporary closing of the Torkham border crossing in Pakistan's North West
Frontier Province (NWFP).  The crossing closed following a dispute between
border officials involving Afghans allegedly entering Pakistan without the
proper documentation.  Some 500 Afghan returnee families were stranded by
the closure until the border re- opened on July 29.

According to UNHCR, more than 112,000 Afghans have returned home from Iran
since its program began on April 9.  Afghans return through the Milak-
Zaranj border crossing in the south or the northern Islam Qala border at
Dogharun, which is averaging 6,000 returnees a week.  From Islam Qala,
many returning Afghans have gone on to areas outside Herat Province,
mainly to Kabul and other urban centers.  According to UNHCR, the largest
group of Afghan returnees from Iran, constituting 45 percent of the total,
are single men between the ages of 18 and 45.  Some 80 percent of those
returning have been in Iran for between one and three years.

UNHCR this week expressed concern over a marked increase recently in the
number of Afghans deported from Iran.  On a single day in mid-July, more
than 500 Afghans were deported.  In a related development, UNHCR is also
concerned about a decision by the Government of Iran to set a deadline of
August 11 for Afghans who are not registered in Iran to obtain exit
permits and leave the country.

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

UNHCR has been working on improvements at the Zarey Dasht site in Kandahar
Province for relocating some 90,000 refugees/IDPs from the Chaman/Spin
Boldak border crossing.  UNHCR hopes to carry out the relocation during
the first weeks of August.

Since early July, IOM has helped more than 28,500 IDPs with 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.  While returns from Kabul this summer have been slower
than expected, more than 1,300 IDPs were assisted by IOM to return home
from the capital during the past 10 days.

On August 3, IOM plans to conduct a bread ration card distribution in
Maslakh camp outside Herat, which should provide a better indication of
the actual number of remaining IDPs in that camp.

At current funding levels, IOM plans to assist returns for approximately
80,000 IDPs from now until the end of September.  IOM estimates that there
will remain an estimated 300,000 IDPs in the north, central, and western
regions.  Since mid-January, IOM has assisted in the return of more than
218,000 IDPs to homes in 25 of the 32 provinces.

UNAMA reports that 80 Pashtun families were recently displaced from an
area along the Turkmen- Afghan border in Badghis Province to Herat.  A
joint UNHCR/UNAMA mission subsequently traveled to the area to try and
halt the further displacement of the remaining 4,850 Pashtuns living in
the same district.

Health.  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.  While the current nutritional
situation is not yet critical, reflecting the robustness of Afghan coping
mechanisms and the magnitude of international assistance provided, a
seasonal decrease in nutritional status over the summer months can be
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.

In an effort to reach high-risk districts in southern Afghanistan, UNICEF
coordinated a three-day polio vaccination "mop-up" campaign from July
23-25.  Volunteers were able to reach an additional 85,000 children under
the age of five who had previously been unvaccinated.  Another round of
the National Immunization Days polio vaccination campaign is set to begin
in September.  Some 10 million Afghan children have been vaccinated thus
far in 2002.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has sent a team to a number of
villages 35 miles southeast of Jalalabad in Nangarhar Province to
investigate a suspected outbreak of cholera.  More than 200 people in the
area are reported to be suffering from mild to chronic diarrhea; however,
only two of these cases have thus far been confirmed as cholera.


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.


OTHER USG ASSISTANCE

New Actions.  U.S. Department of State's Bureau for Population, Refugees,
and Migration (State/PRM)  has provided $2 million to UNICEF in support of
education and water/sanitation programs for returning refugees.

State/PRM has provided $1 million to UNHCR in support of programs for
Afghan refugee children in Pakistan.

State/PRM has provided Church World Services with $679,061 in support of
programs of income generation, literacy, and math training for female
refugee returnees and IDPs.
