Overview

US President Obama unveils new strategy on Afghanistan and Pakistan

US President Barack Obama last Friday (March 27) unveiled his new strategy to defeat al-Qaeda and its extremist allies in Afghanistan and Pakistan, while extending NATO's and the US' full support for the governments of both countries. Obama said he is sending another 4,000 troops to Afghanistan along with hundreds of civilian specialists, shifting the emphasis of the Afghan mission to training and increasing the size of Afghan security forces so they can eventually take the lead in securing their own country. He also urged the US Congress to pass a bill authorizing US$1.5 billion in non-military aid to Pakistan each year for the next five years to build public infrastructure and strengthen democracy. He said the US will continue to work with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund to help Pakistan weather the economic crisis. Obama said the US will provide Pakistan with the military assistance and tools to monitor and fight terrorists, adding that it will not be a "blank check," but linked to the Pakistani government's performance in rooting out terrorists. He said the US will be sending educators, engineers, lawyers and agricultural specialists to help the Afghan government tackle corruption and develop an economy so that the government can deliver basic services to its people. The new strategy also emphasizes a political solution that calls for reconciliation with those Taliban members who renounce violence, disassociate themselves from al-Qaeda and support the Afghan constitution. He said the support of the international community, the UN and international organizations, is pivotal in his new Afghan strategy. Afghanistan and Pakistan both reacted positively to Obama's new plan and reiterated their commitment.

Aid agencies warn NATO over civilian casualties in Afghanistan

Aid agencies are warning that a troop surge in Afghanistan may not lead to long-term peace and development unless NATO makes protection of Afghan civilians a priority, the BBC and other media outlets reported on Friday (April 3). In a report to the head of NATO-member nations, 11 international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) warned against over-reliance on military power to increase short-term gains at the expense of long-term peace and development. The report also noted that the current approach to aid Afghanistan lacks "clarity, coherence, and resolve" and has been focused on achieving military and political objectives. The report entitled "Caught in the Conflict: Civilians and the International Strategy in Afghanistan," that was released on Friday noted, "There is a need for a truly comprehensive strategy for the long-term reconstruction and stabilization of Afghanistan." Matt Waldman, head of policy and advocacy for the international NGO, Oxfam, in the capital, Kabul, said, "The troop surge will fail to achieve greater overall security and stability unless the military prioritize the protection of Afghan civilians." He said, "Despite taking steps to reduce civilian casualties, and repeated calls for restraint, too many military operations by foreign troops involve excessive force, loss of life and damage to property" adding, "This is causing anger, fear and resentment among Afghans, and is steadily eroding popular support for the international presence," the BBC reported. In a commentary on the report, Oxfam said the military's extensive involvement in humanitarian and assistance work for counter-insurgency purposes is blurring the distinction between aid workers and soldiers. In addition, the use of white unmarked vehicles by the military was putting the aid workers at greater risk, the UN reported. The report comes ahead of a NATO meeting in Strasbourg, France, where US President Obama is likely to discuss his new Afghan strategy on Saturday (April 4). 

China to provide US$75 million in aid to Afghanistan, US to provide US$40 million for elections

China will provide US$75 million in aid for Afghanistan over the next five years, Xinhua reported. Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Wu Dawei made the announcement at an international conference in The Hague, Netherlands, on Tuesday (March 31). Delegates from over 70 countries and international organizations attended the one-day meeting of stakeholders in The Hague aimed at consulting over the new Afghan strategy unveiled by US President Obama. The US will pledge US$40 million to help fund the upcoming Afghan presidential elections on August 20, the New York Times reported on Tuesday (March 31). Clinton told reporters on Monday (March 30) that the funding will help the UN cover a US$100 million budget shortfall for the Afghan elections. 

Russia to consider allowing transit of US military equipment to Afghanistan

Russia is saying that it is willing to discuss the transit of US military equipment through its territory to Afghanistan, Reuters and various other media outlets reported. According to Reuters, Andrei Nesterenko, spokesman for the Russian foreign ministry, said Thursday (April 2), "We are being asked whether Russia intends to make an agreement with the United States on the transit across her territory of military equipment to Afghanistan. Russia is ready for cooperation on this question." Nesterenko said the US has not yet made a formal request. Amid increased attacks on US supply convoys in Pakistan's northwest and the closure of a US airbase in Kyrgyzstan, Washington is seeking alternate supply routes for its troops in Afghanistan. Last month, the US made transit agreements with several Central Asian nations, including Russia, to transport non-military cargo overland from the Latvian port of Riga on the Baltic Sea to Afghanistan via Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.

Afghan President Karzai urges some Taliban be removed from UN blacklist

Afghan President Hamid Karzai is calling on the UN to remove Taliban leaders, who were not part of al-Qaeda, as a first step towards peace talks, from its blacklist, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported. On Saturday (March 28), Karzai said, "While we are speaking about the peace process with the Taliban, we must also make sure to provide the right environment for such a peace process," and added, "Right environment means first of all looking at the list that is with the United Nations and removing names that are not part of al-Qaeda, that are not part of the terrorist networks."  Karzai dodged the question when asked if he wanted Taliban supreme leader Mullah Omar to be removed from the list, saying that at this time he did not have any specific names but was speaking about the principles.

Movement

2008: The UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) held a press conference in Kabul on Monday (December-15). Nilab Mobarez from the UNAMA Spokesperson’s Office reported that the Afghan Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation and UNHCR just published the first national IDP profiling report. Findings of the report include that the various conflicts and natural disasters in Afghanistan in the last decade have uprooted about 1.2 million people. Currently, about 235,000 people are estimated to be displaced within Afghanistan. According to the report, aid agencies and the Afghan government must focus on local integration to help bring long-term displacement to an end. (UNAMA, December-15)

According to UNHCR, fewer Afghan refugees are returning home, while more people are leaving the country for better jobs and security, a trend that may increase regional tension. More than 5 million of 8 million Afghan refugees have returned home since 2002, but the number of those returning is falling, according to UNHCR. Amid pressure from Iran and Pakistan to send home millions of refugees, representatives from UNHCR, about 30 countries and international organizations met in Kabul in mid-November to mobilize support for the sustained return and reintegration of the refugees. (AFP, BBC, Nov-19)

UNHCR said in the first week of October that some 251,800 registered Afghan refugees in Pakistan and Iran had returned to their homes so far in 2008. Most of those repatriated (248,951) under the UN-assisted voluntary repatriation campaign came from Pakistan, while Iran accounted for 2,929 returns. (UNHCR, Oct-7)

Some 2,800 Pakistani families crossed the border into northeastern Afghanistan over the past two months to escape fighting between militants and Pakistani security forces in Bajur region.  Most of the people are reportedly in Kunar province.  (AFP, Sept-19)

UNHCR is asking Pakistan to revise its Afghan refugee repatriation plan, as the current plan to repatriate some 2.4 million refugees by the end of next year (2009) is “unworkable” due to persistent insecurity and lack of economic opportunities.  (BBC, Apr-18).

2007: UNHCR temporarily suspends the Afghan voluntary repatriation campaign in Pakistan until March 2008 due to seasonal slowdown.  (IRIN, Nov-2).  Pakistan has reportedly extended the deadline to close Jalozai camp until March 2008.  (IRIN, Sep-4).  The UNHCR has asked Pakistan to temporarily suspend closure of Jalozai refugee camp in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) that was originally scheduled to be closed on August 31.  UNHCR said due to the fast approaching Muslim holy month of Ramadan and winter season, conditions were not conducive for the return of some 100,000 camp residents.  UNHCR said any forceful return of these refugees could lead to secondary displacement. 

Pakistan is to close all Afghan refugee camps by December 2009 and to repatriate all refugees living in the country.  UNHCR says it has repatriated over 306,000 Afghan refugees from Pakistan so far this year under its voluntary repatriation campaign.  (UNHCR, Aug-10)

4.2 million refugees have returned to Afghanistan, and 500,000 IDPs returned home since early 2002.  Close to 3 million of the refugees returned from Pakistan. 2.6 million Afghans remain in Pakistan, including one million in 74 long-term camps. About 1.5 million Afghans returned from Iran. Taking into account unassisted returns, perhaps 600,000 to 700,000 Afghans remain in Iran—up to 30,000 are in seven camps.

Iran deported some 85,000 unregistered refugees to Afghanistan during April 21 - May 14, 2007.  Iranian officials say they plan to initially send back 500,000 of over a million illegal refugees in the country.  Earlier this week, Iran said it has reached an agreement with the Afghan government to slow down the pace of expulsions for illegal Afghans living in the country. 

Some 200,000 Afghan refugees in Pakistan have returned to their homes under the UN-assisted voluntary Afghan refugee repatriation program since it resumed on March 1, 2007, following a seasonal winter suspension.  Pakistani authorities said voluntary repatriation of Afghan refugees in Pakistan that are without proof of registration (PoR) ended in April, and refugees remaining in the country without PoR are now considered illegal and subject to government action.  Repatriation campaign for Afghan refugees with PoR.

2006: UNHCR expects to assist 550,000 returnees—400,000 from Pakistan and 150,000 from Iran.  However, so far this year only some 60,000 Afghan refugees have repatriated from Pakistan.  Unassisted returns are a factor from Pakistan and have been a major contributor to returns from Iran. The tripartite arrangement among UNHCR-Afghanistan-Pakistan is good through 2006.  The UNHCR-Afghanistan-Iran Joint Program has been extended into 2007.  Repatriation from Pakistan, halted for the winter, recommenced on March 1.  UNHCR assisted nearly 9,000 refugees in returning from Pakistan and over 500 from Iran during March.  In April 2006, Pakistan closed two long-term camps in NWFP, and two in Baluchistan Province with 250,000 long-term residents.  Refugees in Baluchistan can either return to Afghanistan or relocate to Mohammad Kheil camp near Quetta. Refugees in NWFP are moving to Afghanistan or one of ten camps in NWFP—refugees are pushing for a one-year delay. 

2005 plans called for 400,000 Afghan refugees to return home from Pakistan and 200,000 from Iran, down from an earlier 350,000 estimated from Iran. 453,000 returned from Pakistan.  67,000 from Iran were assisted and over 210,000 returned on their own to Iran for a total of nearly 280,000, and a combined Pakistan and Iran total of 733,000—close to the original projection.

2004 plans were for one million to return.  Actual returnees were around 850,000, with 385,000 from Pakistan and 460,000 from Iran, including 80,000 spontaneous returns.  Pakistan closed camps in South Waziristan and all new camps, with remaining new refugees going to Mohamed Kheil camp in Baluchistan Province. 

Emphasis in 2003 was on repatriation from old camps and cities in Pakistan to rural areas in Afghanistan.  70 percent of returnees from Pakistan were from cities and 30 percent from camps. Over a third returned to Kabul, another 10 percent went to other central provinces, and just over 20 percent returned to each of the north and east.  The Southern region received 6 percent and the Western region 4 percent. The 2003 peak months were June and July.

In 2002 over 2.3 million Afghan refugees returned with 2 million assisted by UNHCR.  UNHCR repatriated 1.53 million Afghan refugees from Pakistan, including 125,000 from Baluchistan and 1.4 million from the North West Frontier Province.  82 percent were from urban areas; only 3 percent were from new camps.  265,000 refugees were assisted in returning from Iran; and 10,000 refugees from the central Asian republics.
