Afghanistan Food Security Brief Afghanistan Food Security Brief AFSTT Special Situation Brief—Post 2012/13 Season Vol. 1 Issue 2 Key Findings October 2012 Overall, the food security situation was analyzed in 26 provinces for October–March 2012/13. About 642,792 people in 11 provinces are classified in Phase 3- Crisis. Another 2,973,770 people are classified in Phase 2- Stressed, and 11,611,338 in Phase 1- Minimal. In general, the food security status of analyzed provinces has improved considerably in the report- ing months thanks to good rainfall and very good cereal production forecasted to reach 6.3 million MT, the highest in 35 years. Compared to 2011 when rain fed wheat extensively failed, area plant- ed in 2012 is up 25% and yield up 270%. The availability of water and pasture has increased, leading to significant improvement in livestock productivity and value. The harvesting of staple crops have been concluded almost all over the country, compared to last year wheat prices de- creased, unskilled labour wages have increased leading to overall improved food access. Hu- manitarian and Government interventions, such as food, feed and inputs distributions in most 2011 drought affected and recently natural disasters affected areas, control of plant pests and dis- eases among other contributed to improvements in food security. However, several shocks, particularly natural disasters, extreme weather, conflict, insecurity, and animal diseases, have contributed to acute food insecurity (stressed or crisis) of hundreds of thou- sands of people, most still struggling to recover from last year’s ordeals or recurrent droughts and natural disasters. Despite above average rains in many cases that led to significant recovery and Analysis carried out increased value of livestock, the food insecure are not able to benefit from it due to low livestock by the Afghanistan asset holding.

It is estimated that about 33% of the population are in Crisis and 47% Stressed. This year, the province was hit by a series of avalanches, landslides, flash floods, and harsh winter weather which affected wheat, vegetables production and caused significant livestock loss. It is estimated that lack of feed caused the death of 41,000 and affected another 217,000 goats and sheep while the harsh weather killed about 3,000 livestock and affected ten times this number in all 28 districts. This has happened in a context of widespread poverty affecting 61% of the pop- ulation and very low coping capacity as Badakhshan livelihoods are still affected by last year’s drought. About 97% of shock affected households have yet to recover. In the 2011/12 NRVA, an overwhelming 50.4% reported borrowing as their first source of income, and about 74% claimed to have a worse economic situation compared to the year before. By end of May 2012, WFP food aid distribution amounted to 1,726.11 MT covering 101,300 beneficiaries. Estimations show that production of wheat comparative to last year has increased but wheat deficit still stands at 18,400 MT. Despite the harsh winter, precipitation improved over March -June when compared to last year and to long-term average. Conse- quently, pasture conditions have improved. Harvest nearly in all districts of the province has completed including high elevation areas of the province. Currently markets in lower elevations are functioning. Compared to last year, wheat grain and flour prices have gone down in September 14% and 7% respectively but wheat grain price was still higher 13% and flour 29% than in 2010 according to MAIL. In contrast, according to WFP price data, the September wheat grain price decreased by 17% and wheat flour by 8% in comparison to the same time last year, meanwhile the terms of trade casual labour/wheat and sheep/wheat have considerable improved. However prices of oth- er household commodities such as rice, maize, mungbeans and pea have increased compared to last year same time. Physical access to food is constrained by bad road conditions due to damages caused this winter by natural disasters such as the flash floods, avalanches...etc. In general, market access is hampered by lack of road networks, with only one quar- ter of roads open year round and one quarter of the districts having no year round roads. Districts bordering Tajikistan have a mutual market where access to variety of goods is better during this time of the year. The loss of livestock in Ba- dakhstan affects income, especially in the extreme northern part of the province and the Wakhan corridor where people depend on livestock sales during the hunger season (May - September) to purchase food from markets. It is important to note that income from opium is expected to rise in Argo, Darayem, Jurm, Khash, Wardoj, Baharak, Arghankhash, Teshkan districts as prices have increased substantially this year (150%). In general, food accessed by population is inadequately utilized by at least a quarter of households due to limited access to clean water, combined with poor cooking practices and household health environment.

    The Afghanistan-China Belt and Road Initiative By Chris Devonshire-Ellis Region: Asia Global Research, August 22, 2021 Theme: Global Economy, Intelligence Silk Road Briefing 18 August 2021 In-depth Report: AFGHANISTAN All Global Research articles can be read in 51 languages by activating the “Translate Website” drop down menu on the top banner of our home page (Desktop version). Visit and follow us on Instagram at @crg_globalresearch. *** Potential routes exist along the Wakhan Corridor and via Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, but it is Pakistani access to Kabul that looks the better option – as long as the Taliban can provide stability, develop Afghan society, and refrain from regional aggression. International media has focused on Afghanistan these past few days and rightly so as the appalling situation left behind continues its descent into utter chaos. Little mentioned however has been the possibility of restructuring Afghanistan’s supply and trade chains after twenty years of war. While the Russians will largely provide security in the region, China will provide the financing and help build the infrastructure and encourage industrialization and trade in return for peace and security. People tend not to fight when they are in the process of transforming their lives for the better, and Beijing understands this, although much of the social problems are the Taliban’s responsibility to solve. There are several options for China to instigate trade routes with Afghanistan. In this article I discuss the Wakhan Corridor, the finger of Afghanistan that reaches east to the Chinese border, existing trade routes via Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, and the potential to further develop the Karakorum Highway route through the Khunjerab Pass and ultimately via Peshawar to Kabul.

  • Campaign Trail 2010 (2): Baghlan - Divided We Stand
    Campaign Trail 2010 (2): Baghlan - Divided we Stand Author : Fabrizio Foschini Published: 7 July 2010 Downloaded: 7 September 2018 Download URL: https://www.afghanistan-analysts.org/campaign-trail-2010-2-baghlan-divided-we-stand/?format=pdf Situated in a central position crossed by some of the most strategic road connections of the country, Baghlan province shows a high level of social and political fragmentation. The growing instability of the province does not bode well for the oncoming elections, and forecasts future problems for the government and the international forces in the area. With a total of 118 candidates (including 12 women) for just 8 seats in the Wolesi Jirga – only Kabul and Laghman have a similarly high proportion of contenders – Baghlan inhabitants could be easily mistaken for a population of election enthusiasts. However, these high numbers seem to reflect more the fault lines splitting local communities and political groups, which prevented the most basics accords between candidates to take place (*). Looking at past elections, high numbers of candidates are not a new development for Baghlan. In the parliamentary elections of 2005 there were 106, and the number of participants to last year’s provincial council elections is even more striking, reaching 193 candidates for the 15 seats body. Baghlan has been characterized for decades by a high number of different factions struggling to control this rich region’s economic assets and communication links and this is also reflected in the electoral competition. Baghlan is a rich province, with a flourishing agriculture blessed by the water resources of the Baghlan-Kunduz river system and by proximity and good road connections to markets like Kabul and Mazar-e Sharif.

  • Translitterering Och Alternativa Geografiska Namnformer
    TRANSLITTERERING OCH ALTERNATIVA GEOGRAFISKA NAMNFORMER Version XX, 27 juli 2015, Stefan Nordblom 1 FÖRORD För många utländska egennamn, i första hand personnamn och geografiska namn, finns det på svenska väl etablerade namnformer. Om det inte finns någon sådan kan utländska egennamn dock vålla bekymmer vid översättning till svenska. Föreliggande material är tänkt att vara till hjälp i sådana situationer och tar upp fall av translitterering1 och transkribering2 samt exonymer3 . Problemen uppstår främst på grund av att olika språk har olika system för translitterering och transkribering från ett visst språk och på grund av att orter kan ha olika namn på olika utländska språk. Eftersom vi oftast översätter från engelska och franska innehåller sammanställningen även translittereringar och exonymer på engelska och franska (samt tyska). Man kan alltså i detta material göra en sökning på sådana namnformer och komma fram till den svenska namnformen. Om man t.ex. i en engelsk text träffar på det geografiska namnet Constance kan man söka på det namnet här och då få reda på att staden (i detta fall på tyska och) på svenska kallas Konstanz. Den efterföljande sammanställningen bygger i huvudsak på följande källor: Institutet för de inhemska språken (FI): bl.a. skriften Svenska ortnamn i Finland - http://kaino.kotus.fi/svenskaortnamn/ Iate (EU-institutionernas termbank) Nationalencyklopedin Nationalencyklopedins kartor Interinstitutionella publikationshandboken - http://publications.europa.eu/code/sv/sv-000100.htm Språkbruk (Tidskrift utgiven av Svenska språkbyrån i Helsingfors) Språkrådet© (1996). Publikation med rekommendationer i term- och språkfrågor som utarbetas av rådets svenska översättningsenhet i samråd med övriga EU-institutioner. TT-språket - info.tt.se/tt-spraket/ I de fall uppgifterna i dessa källor inte överensstämmer med varandra har det i enskilda fall varit nödvändigt att väga, välja och sammanjämka namnförslagen, varvid rimlig symmetri har eftersträvats.
