GENERAL: Logar is located to the south of Kabul on the main supply routes between the capital and the Southeast provinces. Due to relatively large areas covered by mines, the UNOCHA technical mine survey and mine clearance teams have already been working in priority minefields of this province. During the survey an additional 124 minefields, affecting 33 square kilometres, were recorded in the 45 villages surveyed.
DISTRICTS SURVEYED: The survey covered Mohammad Agha,Kohshi, Kulangar, Charkh, Azro and Baraki Barak districts. Only Baraki Barak does not have a mines problem.
DISTRICTS NOT SURVEYED: Miss Aynak in Mohammad Agha district was not included in the survey.Military action presenting a security risk prevented the survey teams from collecting data in this area.
AFFECTED AREAS: Mines are widespread in the surveyed districts of Mohammad Agha, Khoshi, Kulangar and also on the hillsides of Miss Aynak. All people in areas surveyed considered planting season, and harvest -time as most hazardous.
CASUALTIES: 1108 people were reported killed and 376 disabled in the surveyed villages. High casualty and fatality rates have been reported in Mohammad Agha and Khoshi districts. Two mine incidents per month take place in Mohammad Agha district.
LOCAL SUPPORT: Local people are very interested in demining operations and have promised their assistance to the program.

GENERAL: Ghazni province has a large number of mineson or around key routes and military posts, rather than in agricultural land. The relatively low number of mine incidents reported tends to support the theory that mine laying in Ghazni was largely restricted to support military defensive or security operations.
DISTRICTS SURVEYED: Jaghori, KhWaja Omary, Zana Khan, Andar, Deh Yak and Jaghatoo districts have a mine problem. Nawar, Malistan, Ajrestan, Nawa and Gero districts were reported free of mines. Qara Bagh, Moqur, Aubband and Gelan districts have been surveyed by the MCPA technical survey previously.
DISTRICTS NOT SURVEYED: All the districts have been surveyed.
AFFECTED AREAS:70 minefields, affecting 19.8 square kilometres were, identified in 41 surveyed villages. UNOCHA technical mine survey and mine clearance teams had been working in priority minefields in Ghazni since the beginning of 1990.
CASUALTIES: Reports indicate that mine incidents have caused 345 deaths with a further 515 disabled in 41 villages since the beginning of the war.
LOCAL SUPPORT: The government and local people in Ghazni province have supported the mine clearance program and appreciate the work done in this province.

GHAZNI:
General: In July 1990, a survey team was deployed to Ghazni province tosurvey, map, and mark mined areas. In 1990 and 1991, the city and areas around itwere not accessible. Operations were therefore concentrated in other districts of the province. In mid 1992, soon after the fall of the Najib Government, Ghazni city and areas around it became the focal point of mine clearance operations.
Areas of Operation: Minefield survey and clearance operations have been carried out in Ghazni center, Muqor, Qarabagh, Gelan, Ab Band and Andar districts:
Area Surveyed/ Cleared: By the end of 1993, a total of 64 minefields, covering anarea of 1,543,468 square meters, was marked and mapped. 1,115,294 square meterswere cleared of mines.
Devices Destroyed: During operations, 2,416 anti -personnel mines, 48 anti -tank mines, and 1,632 unexploded ordnance were destroyed.

GENERAL: Paktia province borders Pakistan. Because of its strategic position it was heavily affected by war with continuous and widespread fighting. Soviet and regime forces mainly laid anti -personnel mines, while Mujahideen used primarily anti -tank mines. 260 minefields affecting 35.6 square kilometres were reported.
DISTRICTS SURVEYED: The survey of Tani, Nader Shah Kot, Sayed Karam, Zurmat, Jaji, Ahamd Khel and Chamkani districts indicated that all these districts have a mine problem.
DISTRICTS NOT SURVEYED: The data collection team were not able to survey the Ghaji, Zao, Sarkary Qala, Wazi Zadran and the Armia mined villages in Gardez district because there were no residents in the villages. The survey was also not conducted in Bashkhel, Loy Mazghara and Kamki Mazghara in Khost district.
AFFECTED AREAS: Gardez and Khost districts both have a considerable problem with mines in agricultural and grazing land.
CASUALTIES: Casualty reports from Paktia show extremely high accident rates. 1713 people have been reported killed and 1507 disabled in surveyed villages.
LOCAL SUPPORT: Mine clearance and minefield survey work has been conducted since 1990 in priority minefields. Local people have indicated an urgent need for the continuation of this program.

GENERAL: Ghor is a province which was not exposed to much heavy fighting during the war. Consequently it is not heavily mined. The survey identified 33 minefields covering 0.86 square kilometres directly affecting 17 villages.
DISTRICTS SURVEYED: Shahrak Taywara, Saghar, Toolak and Chagh Charan districts were covered. Only two were identified as having a mine problem; Sharark and Chagh Charan).
DISTRICTS NOT SURVEYED: Because of differences among Mujahideen factions, the road between Pasa Band and Taywara was blocked. Pasa Band and Lale Sarjangal districts remain unsurveyed. According to a reliable source only one minefield exists in Lale Sarjangal district.
AFFECTED AREAS: Most of the minefields affect grazing and agricultural land. A government agricultural farm has been identified as the first priority for clearance.
CASUALTIES: A relatively low number of mine incidents were recorded in this province. A total of 104 people have been killed and 55 disabled in 17 surveyed villages.
LOCAL SUPPORT: The data collection team in the province commented on the generous cooperation and participation of the Ghor people. The Ghor provincial governor contacted the UNOCHA Demining office in Quetta by radio to pass on his personal appreciation.

General: A survey team was deployed to Paktika for the first timein June 1990. The survey of all priority areas was completed by November 1991
Areas of Operation: Minefield survey and clearance operations werecarried out in Sharan, the center of the province, Urgon, Waza Khwa, Katawaz, andJani Khil districts.
Area Surveyed /Cleared: Totally, 49 minefields, covering anarea of 7,091,851 square meters, have been surveyed and 1,475,709 square meters have been cleared of mines.
Devices Destroyed: A total of 438 anti -personnel and 126 anti -tank mines,and 132 unexploded ordnance was destroyed.
MCPA 115 NATIONAL SURVEY OF MINES SITUATION AFGHANISTAN1993 METHODOLOGY
Data was collected by survey teams trained specifically for the task.They collected and verified data at each location through: interviews witha variety of independent sources including villagers, former military commanders who operated withinrespective areas, and physical examination of reported sites.
The Questionnaire
A draft questionnaire, developed by MCPA,was sent to a number of demining and humanitarian aid agencies for comment. A meeting of these agencieswas held at the Agency Coordinating Body for Afghan Relief (ACBAR) and thecontents of the questionnaire was father developed to incorporate the needs of all participants.A copy of the questionnaire is attached at Annex A.
Survey Teams
Team Selection: Survey Team members were recruited and selectedon the basis of: general education, previous knowledge and experience insurvey techniques,knowledge of respective target areas, their knowledge of the mine situation in theirrespective provinces, and their knowledge of mine clearance techniques.
Training: Selected people attended a two week trainingcourse designed to prepare teams for all aspects of their task.
Organisation: After practical testing and assessment, 75 peoplewere organized in to small groups of two or three men. One supervisor coordinated the activities ofteams operating in two or three provinces. Each team was allocated specified targetareas and were responsible to gather all required information. Supervisors were responsible forco- ordination and control of the survey teams under their supervision. Hewas also required to ensure that the quality and accuracy of the information was maintained.
Data Collection
Groups of villagers, generally consisting of: farmers, commanders and elderswere interviewed together at the same time. This allowed enough discussionamong the villagers, and for all to agree on the correct answer. Individual interviews could have been miss leading and could have caused confusion. All reported minedareas were then physically identified by members of the survey team.
The location of known mined areas were marked on a topographicmap (Annex B). Hand sketch maps of each suspect area were drawn(Annex C) and panoramic photographs of minefields were taken (Annex D). All information isnow stored in the MCPA Data Bank.
MCPA 116 NATIONAL SURVEY OF MINES SITUATION AFGHANISTAN 1993 Verification and Validation
Data has been verified through: collection througha variety of independent sources and agreement through validation certificates signed by thesenior leaders and government authorities at village, district and province level.
The survey was conducted in two missions. Atthe completion of the first missionall members of the data collection team reportedback to MCPA Regional offices in Peshawar or Quetta for validation of the data collectionprocess and team debriefing. Data collected independently by Survey Teamsand Supervisors was compared to determine accuracy of data collection. The results ofthis stage were analyzed andany minor inaccuracies were noted and rectified. Oncesatisfied with the process teams undertook refresher training before commenting thesecond final stage of data collection.
The project was coordinated with the UN MineClearance Programme and other organizations working for Afghan relief.
PRECISION AND RELIABILITY:
The figures given in the report are not exact, butestimates based on observations made by the surveyors. The accuracy of information about thearea covered by mines could be further quantified during technical survey of minefields. Itis believed that the figures provided in this report present the bestamong the available information on mines situation in Afghanistan.
General information such as population, number ofdeaths or injuries etc. has been gathered for surveyed mined districts and villages only.Data for districts and villages which have no mine problem, or have not been surveyed dueto security reasons, have not been collected because:
a. the aim of survey was to concentrate on mine affectedareas, and
b. time and resources made available for thesurvey was limited.
Therefore, all figures in this report represent surveyedareas which have a mine problem. Areas where there is no significant mine problemare not included. This may, in some cases, have an effect on the general situation covered in this report, Particularlyon data presented on population and mine incident deaths and injures.
MCPA 117 NATIONAL SURVEY OF MINES SITUATION AFGHANISTAN 1993 PART IV
PROVINCE LEVEL INFORMATION FOREWORD
Afghanistan is one of the most mine affected countries in the world. During the Soviet occupation, and the subsequent war between Afghan government troops and the Mujahideen, wide ranging and indiscriminate use of land mines was made by all sides.
Mines were not only used for conventional military purposes but as part of the Soviet strategy to depopulate villages to prevent effective local support for the Mujahideen. Mines were therefore laid in houses, irrigation systems, agricultural land and grazing areas; as well as for conventional military purposes on roads and around military establishments.
The widespread presence of mines is recognized as one of the main obstacles to the repatriation of refugees and the rehabilitation of war torn Afghanistan.
The Mine Clearance Planning Agency (MCPA) recently implemented a project entitled "Surveying of Minefields in Afghanistan" through which the National Survey of Mines Situation in Afghanistan was conducted. The survey was aimed to better quantify the mine problem in Afghanistan, to help establish priority areas for clearance, and to assist in effective long term planning of mine clearance operations in Afghanistan.
Previous estimates of the land mine problem have relied on anecdotal evidence and the examination of inaccurate and incomplete minefield records. The data collected in this survey indicates that there are 20 - 25 mine incidents involving the civilian population in Afghanistan every day.This amounts to a staggering total of about 8,000 incidents annually. Half of these victims die due to the lack of medical facilities and the remaining four thousand lose limbs, eyes or other parts of their bodies. These invalids add an extra burden on Afghanistan's fragile economy. The survey also indicates that more than 30% of the mine victims are children under 12 years old.
Itis estimated that the average cost for the treatment and rehabilitation of one mine victim is US $ 5,000. The cost for the four thousand people maimed by mines in Afghanistan each year comes to US$ 20 million, while the annual funds provided for mine clearance activities is only half this amount.
I am confident that the information presented in this report will not only help the long term planning of mine clearance operations in Afghanistan, but should also assist international campaigns seeking a ban on production, export, licensing and use of land mines; weapon systems which attack the lives and safety of hundreds of innocent men, women and children around the world every day, long after the conflict that has caused their use has ended.

I was a refugee for twelve years. I was very delighted to be in my own house and I could not wait to start cultivation on my small piece of land. I brought two of my sons, Ahmad Gui and Rahim Gui, with me to help me with rehabilitating our house and our land, so that we could have some thing for living. This would have enabled us to bring all family members back from refugee camp. Ohhh, it was Tuesday morning. Al I three of us were working on our land. Around 11 o'clock I heard a horrible sound. I looked back and saw Ahmad Gul laying on the ground, shouting "help help..." He was badly injuredbya mine explosion which was buried in our field. Rahim Gul and myself tried to help him. We decided to take him to the nearest hospital which is six hours drive from here... On our way to the hospital Ahmad Guldied... T have decided to go back to the refugee camp and I will not come back unless all mines are cleared.
