CENTRAL ASIA REGION - Complex Emergency
Situation Report #41, Fiscal Year (FY) 2002	August 16, 2002

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.  ITGA Minister of Defense Marshall Fahim announced that all
weapons held by local factions are to be turned over as property of the
National Afghan Army.  The operating environment for the relief assistance
community remains insecure in some areas of the country due to ongoing
clashes involving factional forces, Coalition forces, and al- Qaeda
elements.  An explosion at a road works warehouse in Jalalabad killed 11
and injured dozens.  Several recent incidents in Kabul, including a shoot-
out and a bombing, have put the city on alert.  Preparations continue for
the delivery of humanitarian assistance during the winter months.  A
recent report by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) showed a
significant increase in wheat production this harvest; however, the report
cautioned that food aid is still required for millions of vulnerable
Afghans.  According to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR),
the pace of refugee returns from Pakistan is starting to level off, while
the pace of returns from Iran has increased sharply.  IDPs who were
languishing in the Spin Boldak/Chaman border area have begun to move to a
new camp established by UNHCR outside of Kandahar.  Measles vaccination
rates have reached an average 80 percent across the country, as the
campaign to protect children continues.

Political/Military.  On August 14, ITGA Minister of Defense Marshall Fahim
announced that all weapons previously belonging to his regional faction
have now been registered as property of the Afghan state and will be
stored in a state depot for use by the new Afghan National Army.  Fahim
has ordered that other factional leaders similarly decommission their
arms.  Some communities that have disarmed fear they may be at risk from
armed local factions in neighboring communities.

On August 14, the 300-man Second Battalion of the new Afghan National Army
graduated from a ten- week basic training course led by the French.  A
300- man First Battalion, trained by the United States, graduated earlier
this year.  U.S., French, and Turkish instructors hope to graduate 3,000
Afghan soldiers by the end of the year.

The U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) and UNHCR are jointly
investigating reports of ethnic persecution from villagers in Almar
District, Faryab Province.  In July, five Pashtun families were reported
to have fled from the village of Bad Bad following pressure from
neighboring Uzbeks to give up their agricultural land.  Another ten
Pashtun families were reported to have fled from the village of Kafter
Khan following attempts at extortion by a local Uzbek commander.  Human
rights constraints are also hampering the return of IDPs from Andkhoi
District, Faryab Province to Balkh Province.

Security.  The operating environment for relief assistance remains
insecure in several parts of the country.  On August 13, three armed men
broke into the UNHCR compound in the southeastern province of Ghazni.
After locking one international and seven local staff into a bathroom, the
attackers ransacked the office, broke into the safe, and left with an
unspecified amount of communications equipment and cash.  This incident is
the first of its kind carried out against UNHCR since the fall of the
Taliban.  UNHCR has responded by placing armed guards outside of the
compound in Ghazni.  The attack is the second against a U.N. compound in
the past two weeks, following a grenade attack in the FAO compound in
Kandahar on August 1.

U.N. activities have been suspended in the eastern province of Laghman,
and overnight U.N. missions in Ghazni, Kunar, and Nuristan provinces are
not permitted by U.N. security rules.  Local warlord Padshah Khan, who is
defying a government order to lay down his arms, is reported to have
closed the road to U.N. traffic from Gardez to Khost in the southeast.
Supporters of Khan protested near Gardez on August 7, demanding the
resignation of ITGA President Hamed Karzai.  During the week of July 29,
an armed gunman robbed an international aid worker in her home in the
central province of Wardak.  The worker was not injured.  UNAMA reports
two minor incidents of international non- governmental organizations
(NGOs) being harassed by local commanders in Mazar-e-Sharif.

Press reports quoting Afghan intelligence officials 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 three separate shooting attacks on
U.S. forces August 5-7 in Kunar and Khost provinces.  UNAMA reports that
four policeman were killed by a suicide bomber in Urgun, Paktika Province.

Two recent attacks were aimed at government institutions.  On August 15 in
Kabul, an explosion late in the evening outside of the ITGA Ministry of
Telecommunications shattered windows but caused no injuries.  A spokesman
for the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said that an
explosive device had been thrown in front of the building by a passing
car.  On August 13, three rockets were fired in the direction of a
government building in Asadabad, the provincial capital of Kunar.  All
three rockets landed in a civilian neighborhood, injuring eight people.

On August 12, UNAMA and the Afghan Security Commission (established by the
U.N. and northern regional leaders in May, following a ceasefire agreement
in the city of Mazar-e-Sharif) brokered an agreement ceasing hostilities
between feuding rival factional commanders in the northern province of
Sar-e-Pul.  On August 9, eight men were killed and 11 taken hostage when a
personal feud escalated into open conflict.  Factional tensions in other
areas of the north continue, with some reported reinforcement of artillery
and troops.

In the central highlands, UNAMA reports that ongoing ethnic and factional
fighting between Tajik Jamiat forces and Hazara Hizb-e-Wahdat forces
threatens displacement of villagers in northern Bamiyan Province.  Jamiat
troops who recently took Kamard District are reportedly massing on the
border of neighboring Saighan District.

On August 9, 11 people in Jalalabad, Nangahar Province were killed and
dozens injured when an explosion at a private road works warehouse storing
dynamite tore through an adjoining village. The explosion destroyed some
200 houses, and damaged electrical equipment at the nearby Darunta dam.
The cause of the explosion is still under investigation.  In a separate
development, on August 11 local police seized several caches of weapons
and explosives in two early morning raids in and around Jalalabad.

On August 7, an Afghan military post on the outskirts of Kabul was
attacked by a group of escaped al- Qaeda suspects.  In the ensuing
firefight, 15 people were left dead, including all 12 of the attackers.

According to the World Food Program (WFP), clashes between local
commanders and Ismail Khan in western Herat Province continue, resulting
in the destruction of several homes.

During the week of August 5, an accident involving the storage of
landmines resulted in an explosion at an ammunition dump in the southern
city of Spin Boldak.  Two Afghan soldiers were reported injured in the
explosion.  Also in Kandahar Province, unknown assailants shot at power
lines near the Kajaki dam.  Power to the city was disrupted for two days
until repairs were completed on August 9.

On August 5, OXFAM reported a bomb explosion in its area of operation in
the southern Zabul Province.  OXFAM has called back its local staff,
leaving local officials in charge of food distribution.  UNAMA reports
that an un-detonated bomb was found in a vehicle in Spin Boldak.

Winter Preparation.  The U.N. Joint Logistics Center (UNJLC) is working
with the field staff of U.N.  agencies and NGOs, as well as ITGA
provincial officials, to finalize a common humanitarian assistance
strategy for the coming winter.  The strategy, which enjoys broad-based
support, 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.  Some NGOs
and U.N. agencies have expressed concern that there is not sufficient time
or funding before winter to implement the strategy.

Food Aid and Agriculture.  WFP is warning that based on the current level
of donor contributions, there will be a shortfall in the wheat aid
pipeline of 60,000 MT in November and 20,000 MT in December.  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.  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, were released on August 16.
Results 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.  The survey also
indicated that the livestock sector has been decimated, with the size of
herds down by more than 60 percent nationwide.  This has had a
particularly profound impact on the Kuchi nomads.  WFP's 2002-2003
Vulnerability and Analysis Mapping (VAM) assessment is still underway.
Preliminary results are expected in late September.

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.  More than 1.5 million Afghan refugees have been
assisted in returning home through the joint 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 programming.  Following a reduction
of one third in the amount of WFP wheat provided to returning refugees, on
August 15 UNHCR halted the distribution of blankets, jerry cans, and
buckets to returning families.  UNHCR has already more than halved its
shelter program from a planned 97,000 units to 41,000.

Nearly 1.4 million Afghans have voluntarily returned from Pakistan since
March 1, with 90 percent 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 declined over
the past several weeks, indicating that the summer peak may have been
reached.  While the numbers are still impressive, in the first week of
August returns were down 21 percent from the previous week.  The
Takhtabaig return center and another at Baliliin Baluchistan are now
operating only four days a week, while those in urban centers are open
five days a week.  Two others have closed.  At their peak, the centers had
operated six days a week.

On August 6, UNHCR temporarily suspended the repatriation of Afghan
refugees from Islamabad after an Afghan man suspected of fraud set himself
on fire and incited a crowd to throw stones at UNHCR staff.  The man
reportedly set his own clothes alight after UNHCR officials refused to
process his assisted repatriation application on the grounds that he had
already received refugee aid the previous day.  The man was treated in a
UNHCR clinic and released.  During the past five months, more than 300,000
individuals have been turned away by UNHCR for making fraudulent claims,
roughly 18 percent of the total number of applicants.

According to UNHCR, more than 136,000 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 continues to express concern that Iranian authorities are pressuring
Afghan refugees to involuntarily leave Iran.  UNHCR cited statistics
showing that the number of Afghans crossing the border back into
Afghanistan has risen significantly from a weekly average of 6,500 in July
to 10,000 in the first week of August.  More than 3,000 Afghans crossed on
August 11 alone.  UNHCR is hurriedly setting up additional tents to handle
the increased flow at its transit center near Herat.

In a related development, the Government of Iran set a new deadline of
August 27 for Afghans who are not registered in Iran to obtain exit
permits and leave the country.  There are reports that Iranian women who
have married Afghan men will lose their Iranian citizenship and be
required to move to Afghanistan with their families.  Other reports
indicate that some Afghan children living in Iran have not been permitted
to register for school in the fall.

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.

On August 15, UNHCR began moving the first 100 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.
The new camp is currently ready to accept 30,000 IDPs and its capacity can
be expanded to 60,000.  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.  Some of the IDPs are reluctant to move to the new camp, citing
the reason they originally left their homes - fear of ethnic persecution.
Conversely, UNHCR is concerned that the new camp may attract too many of
the estimated 400,000 IDPs scattered across the south.  UNHCR was unable
to garner sufficient local support for an alternative plan to break up the
larger camp into several smaller camps located next to host communities.

IOM continues with its program of assisting 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-January, IOM has assisted in the return of more than
218,000 IDPs to homes in 25 of the 32 provinces.

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 still remain an estimated 300,000 IDPs in the north, central, and
western regions, in addition to more than 400,000 IDPs in the south.

Health.  The World Health Organization (WHO)  investigated a suspected
outbreak of cholera in Jowzjan and Samangan provinces.  Of the reported 87
cases, only 2 have been confirmed as cholera.  The other cases have been
confirmed as acute respiratory infections (ARI), pneumonia, or diarrheal
diseases.

The U.N. Children's Fund (UNICEF) reports the latest phase of the national
measles immunization campaign began on August 10 in Bamiyan Province,
where the current coverage rate is only 33 percent.  By comparison, the
coverage rate in Herat is 95 percent, in Kandahar 76 percent, and in Kabul
63 percent.  As of the previous round of immunizations in July, part of a
two-year campaign that started in 2001, approximately eight million Afghan
children between the ages of six months and 12 years old have been
vaccinated nationwide against measles.  The campaign's target population
is 10 million children.  Coverage rates vary by region depending on
factors such as availability of trained staff and accessibility.

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 can be expected in line with the diarrheal
season.  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.



OTHER USG ASSISTANCE

New Actions.  USAID/FFP is providing WFP with 46,000 MT of new wheat
