Situation Report #32, Fiscal Year (FY) 2002    May 10, 2002

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
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.  More than one quarter of the country's 381 districts have
completed the first phase of the Loya Jirga process.  The factions
fighting in the north around Mazar-e-Sharif have reached a truce.
Factional fighting and Coalition operations continue in the east.  The
effort to eradicate locusts in the northern provinces accelerated as
pesticides were dispersed in some areas by helicopter.  The International
Organization for Migration (IOM)  announced the pending suspension of some
of its programs for internally displaced persons (IDPs) due to lack of
funding.  The Milak-Zaranj border crossing with Iran in the south
re-opened for returning refugees.  The World Health Organization (WHO) is
working to control the epidemic spread of leishmaniasis, a skin disease
transmitted by sand flies.

Political/Military.  The first phase of the Loya Jirga process continued
this week, bringing to 98 the number of assemblies (shuras) convened to
select district representatives. Over the coming weeks, each of the
county's 381 districts will hold shuras.  These representatives will in
turn meet at the end of May in nine regional centers across the country to
select their district's delegation to the Loya Jirga, to be held June
10-16 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.

According to press reports, tribal leaders from seven of Afghanistan's
southern and eastern provinces stated in a petition to the U.N. Assistance
Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) and the Special Independent Loya Jirga
Commission their intention to boycott the Loya Jirga meeting in June. The
tribal leaders were reported to be asking that the Loya Jirga be postponed
for 18 months, as the process in their opinion has failed to keep out
warlords and others who have committed atrocities.  They also claim that
the formula for the creation of the Loya Jirga is undemocratic, is being
convened without heed to traditional guidelines, and is not based on the
country's 1964 constitution as the Bonn Agreement had stipulated.

Reports indicate that some Afghan citizens in the northern provinces
participating in the first phase delegate selection process for the Loya
Jirga have experienced intimidation, threats, and bribery.

The U.N. team investigating possible mass graves in Bamiyan Province also
visited two sites near Mazar- e-Sharif in Balkh Province.  According to
the U.N.  Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), the team photographed
the sites, uncovered a number of bodies, recorded details, and recommended
measures for protection until further investigation can be undertaken.
Initial observations reported by UNAMA indicate the collective burial
within the past few months of an unidentified number of male corpses,
apparently of Pashtun origin, whose likely cause of death was suffocation.

Security.  On May 9, several missiles were fired at the Jalalabad airport,
the first such incident to occur in that area this year.  The missiles
landed in a deserted portion of the airport and caused no injuries.
Local officials attributed the attack to a new outbreak of factional
fighting.

On May 5, UNAMA and the AIA brokered a truce between fighters loyal to
Abdul Rashid Dostum and fighters loyal to Atta Mohammed.  The factions had
engaged in clashes since April 30 in the northern Balkh and Sar-e-Pul
provinces.  The factions agreed to establish a Joint Security Commission
and to create a 600-person multi-ethnic police force for the provincial
capital Mazar-e-Sharif, to prohibit the carrying of weapons in
Mazar-e-Sharif, and to withdraw tanks, armored personnel carriers, and
artillery from the city within 24 hours.  On May 8, Dostum and Atta met
and reported satisfaction with the ongoing implementation of the
agreement.  However, on the same day there were reports of clashes in
Shulgareh, Balkh Province, a previous flashpoint in the conflict.

On May 7, in Paktia Province, the Gardez tribal council and the governor
Taj Muhammad Wardak issued a seven-day ultimatum to warlord Padshah Khan
Zadran to surrender his forces or face war.  On April 27, Zadran fired
hundreds of rockets on Gardez in an attempt to reclaim the governorship,
after AIA Chairman Hamid Karzai replaced Zadran with Wardak as governor
last month.

A new governor appointed by Karzai arrived in Khost Province last week,
but has been unable to assume leadership due to the occupation of the
governor's office by warlord Kamal Khan.  Khan is the brother of warlord
Padshah Khan Zadran in Paktia Province.  Zadran has reportedly instructed
his brother to drive the new governor away.

On May 6, unidentified assailants fired three rockets in the direction of
U.S. forces in Khost Province, but no injuries were reported.  Coalition
and Afghan military forces seized four truckloads of ammunition from the
area where the shots were fired.

According to the U.N. World Food Program (WFP), incidents of fighting have
impacted their operations.  Bombing prevented food aid monitors from
working in Khost Province, and an evaluation mission to certain districts
in Balkh Province was cancelled due to insecurity.

The U.N. is reportedly considering increased security measures for its
staff in Afghanistan, including the relocation of some staff in the north
and the use of police escorts for convoys in Jalalabad, Kabul, Gardez, and
Khandahar.

Locust.  UNAMA reports that the most severe case of locust infestation in
30 years is threatening crops in northern Afghanistan.  The provinces most
affected are Kunduz, Sar-e-Pul, Baghlan, Samangan, Faryab, Jowzjan, and
Badghis. UNAMA estimates that farmers in northern Baghlan Province have
lost up to 40 percent of their crop, while in some parts of Samangan
Province there has been complete destruction of crops.  The U.N. Food and
Agriculture Organization (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 to minimize damage to crops.  On May 9, helicopters began releasing
pesticides to control locust infestations in Badghis and Faryab provinces.
FAO reports that it has an adequate stock of pesticide for its eradication
requirements.

Food Aid and Logistics.  Since October 2001, WFP, with support from USAID,
has delivered 449,673 MT of food into Afghanistan, of which 358,969 MT has
been distributed throughout the country, assisting some 6.6 million
Afghans.  WFP has conducted more than 60 rapid assessment missions in
Afghanistan over the past few weeks.  The findings indicate an increased
need for food aid in the pre-harvest hunger period of April, May and June.
WFP reported that malnutrition persists, the sale of household assets
continues, and more children are being pushed into the labor market to
support their families.  WFP's target is to provide 275,000 MT of food
assistance to an estimated nine million people until the harvest in July.

According to WFP, most of its sub-offices across the country are reporting
pipeline breaks since early May due to a lack of donations.  As a result,
WFP indicates it has been forced to scale down some of its operations,
suspending food assistance to some communities engaged in food for asset
creation, food for work projects, food for education, and food for civil
servants programs.

IDPs and Refugees.  The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the
AIA, and the non- governmental organization (NGO) community are preparing
for the anticipated return this summer of more than 1.2 million Afghan
refugees and IDPs.  According to UNHCR, more than 531,000 Afghan refugees
have been assisted in returning home in the ten weeks since UNHCR and the
AIA began their voluntary repatriation program in coordination with
neighboring governments.  The International Organization for Migration
(IOM) reports more than 150,00 IDPs have also been assisted in returning
home.

UNHCR reported that 32 repatriation centers will eventually be open across
Afghanistan to provide start-up packages of assistance to returnees, with
18 currently operating.  Although these centers were designed to serve the
voluntary repatriation program, spontaneous returnees are also permitted
to receive start-up packages from the centers.

UNHCR reports that more than 450,000 Afghans have returned from Pakistan
since its program began March 1, exceeding in just two months UNHCR's
planning figure for returns for the whole 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.

According to UNHCR, more than 34,000 Afghans have returned home from Iran
since its program began on April 9.  The majority of these returns have
been through the northern Islam Qala crossing point at Dogharun.  The
Milak-Zaranj border crossing in the south, which had been closed due to
factional fighting since the voluntary repatriation began, reopened on May
5.  Afghan refugees are registering to return home from Iran at the rate
of 2,000-5,000 per day, exceeding the current capacity of the voluntary
repatriation operation, which had planned to handle only 1,600 returns per
day.  UNHCR estimates that 80 percent of returnees coming from Iran
through the Islam Qala border crossing are heading to areas outside Herat
Province, mainly to Kabul and other urban centers.  This runs contrary to
UNHCR's initial expectation that most returnees would remain in Herat.

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

Several road accidents involving refugees were reported this week.  On May
9, a rented IOM truck carrying 23 returnees from Iran overturned near
Katakan in Faryab Province, killing six people and injuring 13 more.  The
four families involved were being assisted in returning to Bamiyan
Province.  On May 5, two vehicles carrying returnees from Pakistan were
involved in two separate accidents on the Torkham-Jalalabad road.  In the
first, six people lost their lives and 15 sustained serious injuries when
a truck overturned five kilometers inside of the border.  In the second
incident, a bus went off the road about 20 kilometers from the border,
injuring an unknown number of passengers.

On May 4, IOM announced that it may be forced to suspend some of its IDP
care and maintenance and IDP transport programs due to a lack of funding.
Following IOM's announcement, UNHCR is considering increasing the travel
grant it provides to IDPs and refugees to compensate for reduced IOM
support.

UNHCR, in cooperation with IOM, has assisted 1,300 IDPs from Kabul to
return home to Bamiyan Province.  Returnees to the central Bamiyan
highlands receive a winterization package, as the weather is still cold
and many houses were damaged or destroyed by war.

In Herat, IOM has assisted more than 55,000 IDPs from Maslakh, Shaidayee,
Rawzabagh, and Minarets IDP camps to return to their homes in Herat and
Badghis provinces.

In Mazar-e-Sharif, IOM has assisted 48,000 persons to return to their
homes in several provinces across northern Afghanistan.  Returns to some
districts were temporarily suspended this week due to factional fighting
in the area.

>From the central Bamiyan Province, some 8,200 mostly ethnic Hazara Afghans
have returned to 13 villages in the Shaighan Valley, Baghlan Province
since April 22.

Near Jalalabad, UNHCR and IOM have assisted more than 13,000 IDPs from
Hesar Shahi camp to return to their villages in Nangarhar, Laghman, and
Kabul provinces.  A survey in Hesar Shahi camp last month found some
17,000 people out of the 24,000 camp residents wanted to return home.

On May 13, UNHCR and the German Technical Cooperation agency (GTZ) will
begin assisting the voluntary repatriation to their homes in Afghanistan
of a portion of the 80,000 IDPs living in the Spin Boldak/Chaman border
area with Pakistan.  There are still 40,000 Afghans waiting in no man's
land to enter Pakistan, some of whom are reportedly refusing what limited
assistance is available in protest of their conditions.  UNHCR is working
with authorities on both sides of the border to resolve the crisis.  A
survey of families in no man's land revealed that nearly half are ethnic
Pashtuns originating from northern Afghanistan, and about 30 percent of
the total number would be willing to return to their homes if helped to do
so.  Meanwhile, for those Afghans who cannot or do not want to return
home, UNHCR is considering relocation to several new sites in Kandahar.

On May 8, the Mahkaki and Mile-46 IDP camps in southern Afghanistan near
the border with Iran were officially closed.  The camps had emptied of
Afghan IDPs, who returned to their places of origin.  The Iranian
government, which maintained a closed border during last fall's military
campaign by Coalition forces, established the camps just inside
Afghanistan in October 2001.  The camps held up to 10,500 Afghans at their
fullest, and were administered by the Iranian Red Crescent Society.

Health. WHO is working with local health officials to control the epidemic
spread of leishmaniasis, a disfiguring skin disease caused by a parasite
transmitted through the sting of a sand fly.  It is estimated that 100,000
people have already been infected in Kabul, and 250,000 Afghans nationwide
are expected to become infected this year.  The disease, which spreads
during the warmer months, is also endemic in Mazar-e-Sharif and Kandahar.
The spread of the disease is linked to poor social conditions, especially
a lack of hygiene and poor removal of waste material.  The carrier sand
fly is also found in the dried mud used in constructing houses.  The
recent movement of refugees and IDPs is expected to exacerbate the
liklihood of the disease spreading.  WHO has recommended that people sleep
under mosquito nets at night to try to avoid being bitten by sand flies
after dark, when the tiny insect is particularly active.

WHO is planning to rehabilitate local health facilities in Baghlan
Province, the site of two earthquakes on March 25 and April 12 in Nahrin
and Burkah districts that left more than six hundred people dead.  The
rehabilitated medical facilities will include specialized services for
post-earthquake injuries and care of trauma victims.



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 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.

New Actions.  USAID/OFDA is providing $38,500 to HOPE Worldwide in support
of the rehabilitation of the Karte Seh Medical Hospital and its annex, the
AIA Ministry of Public Health's Institute for Malaria and Leishmaniasis,
in Kabul.  This quick impact project will improve the provision of
healthcare to Afghan men, women, and children nationwide, as the hospital
and its annexes serve residents of Kabul and as well as distant provinces.
This is the first full rehabilitation of a hospital in Afghanistan.


OTHER USG ASSISTANCE

New Actions.  The U.S. Department of State's Bureau for Population,
Refugees, and Migration (State/PRM) is providing $172,667 to Church World
Service (CWS) in support of health services for Afghan refugees in
Mansehra, Pakistan and returning refugees in Nangarhar, Afghanistan.

State/PRM is providing $2,157,662 to the Cooperative Housing Foundation
(CHF) in support of programs to address the urgent humanitarian needs of
vulnerable Afghan refugees and IDPs returning to Bamiyan and Kabul
provinces.
