CENTRAL ASIA REGION - Complex Emergency
Situation Report #43, Fiscal Year (FY) 2002    September 13, 2002


Note: This Situation Report updates previous Central Asia Region 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.  Kabul experienced its deadliest attack since the fall of the
Taliban after a car bomb exploded in the city.  President Karzai survived
an assassination attempt in Kandahar.  Forces of the Khost governor and
warlord Padshah Khan Zadran clashed, while scattered fighting was reported
in the north and west.  The U.N. World Food Program (WFP) warned of breaks
in its cereal pipeline starting in October, with a complete break
anticipated at the end of the year.  Refugee returns from Pakistan have
slowed, while Iranian officials have called for increased Afghan returns.
Some internally displaced persons (IDPs) have returned to IDP camps from
their homes or host communities, raising concern about repeat migration as
winter approaches.  Health agencies conducted a national three-day polio
immunization campaign for children under five.

Political/Military.  On September 9, Afghans commemorated last year's
assassination of Ahmed Shah Massoud, the leader of the Northern Alliance
whose killing has been linked to al Qaeda.

In early September, Coalition forces launched Operation Champion Strike to
search for al Qaeda fighters in parts of Paktika Province.  The search
focused on the village of Shkin in the Bermel Valley, along the Afghan
border with Pakistan.

Security.  The security situation in Afghanistan continues to deteriorate,
with Kabul experiencing its deadliest attack since the fall of the Taliban
and President Hamid Karzai surviving an assassination attempt.  On
September 5, a car bomb exploded near the Ministry of Information in
Kabul, killing an estimated 30 people.  About three hours later in
Kandahar, a gunman fired four shots at President Karzai's car, narrowly
missing the president and injuring the governor of Kandahar, who was also
in the car.  Afghan and U.S. Special Operations forces assigned to protect
President Karzai returned fire, killing the gunman.  Al Qaeda and the
Taliban are suspects in the attacks, and U.S. intelligence officials have
stated that al Qaeda operatives are regrouping and moving back into
Afghanistan.  Another suspect is the exiled warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar,
who has reportedly returned to eastern Afghanistan and joined forces with
al Qaeda and the Taliban.

Other bombing incidents and an anti-tank mine accident were reported
during the past two weeks in central and southeastern Afghanistan.  In the
Kabul area on September 1, an anti-tank mine destroyed a Danish demining
agency's vehicle, injured at least 17 people, and killed three staff from
the Afghan Mine Clearance Planning Agency.  The mine exploded on a road
frequently traveled by the agency.  Also on September 1, a bomb exploded
in front of the former Soviet embassy in Kabul killing one person and
injuring three others.  A British peacekeeper sustained a minor injury in
the blast.  A Kabul television report stated that police defused a small
time bomb found at a bus stop in West Kabul.  In Khost, a bomb blast on
September 9 injured ten people.  Unidentified assailants fired rockets in
Khost on September 1 and September 11, which landed near a base for
Coalition forces.  The first attack wounded several Afghan civilians,
while the rocket in the second attack exploded without causing injuries.
Attackers fired a total of five rockets at a U.S. base in Gardez on
September 11 and September 12, but caused no injuries.

Factional fighting continued in parts of Afghanistan.  On September 8,
Hakim Taniwal, the governor of Khost, attacked warlord Padshah Khan
Zadran's forces after a false local radio report that Zadran had been
arrested by U.S. troops.  The clashes killed 15 fighters and civilians and
injured more than 50 others.  Zadran reportedly attempted another attack
the following day that was thwarted by the governor's troops, though
Zadran's forces remain close to the city outskirts.  In a separate
incident, a land dispute between two Afghan tribes in Yaqoubi District of
Khost Province resulted in 16 deaths.

In the north, a brief clash occurred September 3 in Mazar-e-Sharif between
Atta Mohammed's Jamiat forces and Hizb-e-Wahdat factional fighters.  A
government team from Kabul, led by Minister of Finance Ashraf Ghani, was
visiting Mazar-e-Sharif during the clash.  The team met with the leaders
of both factions, along with General Rashid Dostum, to discuss security,
the safe return of ethnic Pashtuns to the area, and payment of state
revenues to the central government.  In the west, UNAMA reported that
tribal clashes killed 30 people in Ghor Province.

In other security incidents, five U.N. trucks transporting IDPs from
Helmand Province to Herat in the west were stopped and looted by a group
of armed men in Shindand District.  In Herat, warlord Ismail Khan called a
meeting with Afghan female staff working with international relief
agencies in the area.  Khan told the women to follow Afghan traditions and
asked them to provide personal information, a demand that humanitarian
organizations do not plan to follow.  In southern Afghanistan, an attacker
fired at a U.N. vehicle on the Kandahar-Spin Boldak road on August 26.
No casualties were reported.  Two hundred armed men occupied government
offices in a village in the south on August 29 in an apparent attempt to
control the region and supply route between Herat and Kandahar.  U.N.
missions between the two cities were closed for 2 days because of the
tense standoff.

The U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) announced September 5
that U.N. staff would resume operations in Gardez, Khost, Paktia, and
Paktika provinces, and begin using the Kabul- Jalalabad road for U.N. road
missions. The U.N. had restricted the presence of its staff in these areas
due to insecurity.  Humanitarian work in Khost was restricted due to the
recent fighting, but the U.N.  Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian
Affairs (UN OCHA) reported on September 11 that some humanitarian
operations had resumed.


Winter Preparation.  The ITGA Afghan Assistance Coordination Authority
(AACA) and the ITGA Ministry for Rural Reconstruction and Development
(MRRD), 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.  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 non- governmental organizations (NGOs) and
U.N.  agencies have expressed concern that there is not sufficient time or
funding before winter to implement the strategy.

On August 28, UNAMA and the MRRD co- chaired a meeting with 22 agencies to
develop a roads strategy in the Central Highlands, including snow removal.
The group aims to keep 24 priority roads and passes in the Central
Highlands open during winter, and to keep four airstrips in Sharistan and
one in Bamiyan operational and cleared of snow.

According to UNAMA, agencies in Afghanistan's Central Area report a
shortage of non-food items for the winter.  A Central Area winterization
task force is considering strategies for increasing stocks, including
cash-for-work programs to locally produce the items.

According to UNAMA, food pre-positioning is urgently needed in Ghor and
Badghis provinces, which are generally isolated during the winter months.
Recent NGO assessments found considerable food shortages in villages in
Jawand, Passaband, Taiwara, Bala Murgab, Ghormach, Ghorian, and Lal.

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.  WFP is facing breaks in its cereal pipeline
starting in October, with subsequent breaks expected in November and
December.  WFP anticipates that cereals will be unavailable after
December, based on the current level of donor contributions. Food stocks
between now and the end of the year are critical for pre- positioning food
in preparation for winter.


The USAID Mission in Kabul reports that there is sufficient improved wheat
seed for the fall planting season, which supplies 85 percent of
Afghanistan's wheat each year.  Approximately 90 percent of farmers will
have access to improved seed.  Apart from lack of water, the most critical
constraint to food production will be lack of fertilizer. Only half of the
fertilizer needed is available locally.

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.

UNHCR has closed some voluntary repatriation centers in Pakistan due to
the decline in daily return figures from 10,000 to less than 4,000 people
a day.  Centers in Islamabad and Baluchistan were closed, while Takhtabaig
and two centers in Karachi remain open.  Mobile teams are still visiting
camps in Pakistan.  UNHCR expects the number of returnees to continue to
decrease with the approach of winter.

According to UNHCR, more than 185,000 Afghans have returned home from Iran
since its repatriation program began on April 9.  On September 1, UNHCR
temporarily suspended refugee return operations at the southern
Milak-Zaranj border crossing after an Iranian border guard fired a warning
shot to deter a group of men running toward the Iranian border.  The shot
landed within three meters of a UNHCR staff member.  During the
suspension, refugees scheduled to repatriate through Milak will use the
northern Dogharun crossing.

According to press reports, the Iranian deputy interior minister has asked
UNHCR to increase the number of Afghans repatriating from Iran to 600,000
this year, up from the previous target of 400,000.  UNHCR has already
expressed concern that Iranian authorities have pressured Afghan refugees
to involuntarily leave Iran.  More than 62,000 Afghans crossed the border
in August, 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 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
2,855 IDPs have been moved.  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.

Following a preliminary survey, UNHCR estimates that 260,000 IDPs may
experience hardship during the coming winter. There is growing concern
about the potential repeat migration of former IDPs seeking better
conditions.  ICRC has begun a distribution of cereal, vegetable oil, and
pulse rations to 98,000 families in Ghor Province to prevent a migration
to Herat.  UNAMA reported that 20 IDP families have already returned to
Mazar-e-Sharif in the north due to lack of shelter, food, and water in
their host communities in Sheram, and another 200 families are planning to
leave.  A joint U.N. and NGO team will conduct an assessment in Sheram.
UNAMA also found that 170 IDP families returned to the Sar-e-Pul center
from their rural homes.

UNHCR reported the return of approximately 250 IDPs to Kabul from the
Jalalabad area, part of a larger return effort by the Ministry of
Repatriation for 2,300 IDP families in Nangahar Province.  In late August,
UNHCR assisted with the return of 270 IDP families in Kabul to their homes
in Logar, Baghlan, Sar-e-Pul, and other areas.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM)  continues with its
program of assisting IDPs, transporting 20,000 IDPs to their homes during
the past three weeks. Most of the IDPs had been living in IDP camps in
Balkh and Herat provinces.  IOM expects returns from Herat camps and
northern Afghanistan to slow in the coming months.  Returns from Kabul are
minimal.  IOM's funding for IDP camp activities will end in late
September, at which time IOM will transfer camp coordination to partner
agencies.  To date, UNHCR and IOM have helped 230,000 IDPs return to their
homes.

Since the beginning of the year, IOM has provided return assistance 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.

Health.  Afghanistan's Ministry of Public Health, the U.N. Children's Fund
(UNICEF), and the World Health Organization (WHO) conducted a national
three-day polio immunization from September 3 – September 5 targeting
nearly six million children under age five.

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.  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.
