1 | 2 | 3 | NextIRIN Asia | AFGHANISTAN: Uphill struggle for potato farmers in Bamyan Province 1 Citation from the page: ".. Potato cultivation in Bamyan Province, central Afghanistan, employs thousands of people and output can top 150,000 tons a year, according to the Ministry of Agriculture... But whilst the province produces more potatoes than it needs, over 70 percent of the people in Bamyan are considered food insecure, according to the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development and aid agencies... Farmers and officials in the provincial agriculture department say every year thousands of tons of potatoes are lost due to a lack of facilities where potatoes and seeds can be protected from extreme weather conditions... Poor roads prevent farmers from selling their produce further afield, including abroad... ?Farmers will stop potato cultivation here unless the problems of storage rooms, transport and marketing are solved,? said Mohammadi. Bamyan has been poppy-free, but he warned this could change if farmers found it too difficult to make a profit from potatoes.", delicious.com

In 2002, about 1.2 million people became internally displaced, most of them ethnic Pashtuns who left their homes in northern and northwestern provinces out of fear of ethnic cleansing by victorious anti-Taliban Tajik, Uzbek and Hazara militias.", delicious.com

Do we need guns to establish our rights? | Kabul Press 1 Citation from the page: "People in Daikondi have been demonstrating for several days, asking the government and international community to discharge the corrupt governor Orazgoni and a judge accused of sexual abuse, Shirzad. They also want the immediate release five individuals who were imprisoned for disclosing information about official corruption and sexual abuse in Daikondi. The five are also outspoken promoters of the necessity for building passable roads, adequate schools and health clinics in their deprived area... Despite several days of peaceful demonstrations by more than a thousand men, women and children of all ages, there has been no notice by the Afghan government or local or international media... Why do they not help the peaceful province Daikondi where the Hazaras live? According toOxfam, in 2007, the total budget for Daikondi?s Agriculture Department was only 2,400 USD. Many suspect this is part of the on-going pattern of ethnic discrimination...", delicious.com

1 Citation A new law that applies only to Shi'ite Muslims in Afghanistan threatens to reintroduce some Taliban-era restrictions and reverse progress on women's rights in a country still struggling to recover from years of oppressive rule.
The law, which has not yet been published, was passed by parliament and was reportedly signed by President Hamid Karzai earlier this month. Since the fall of the Taliban in 2001, women in Afghanistan have seen their situation improve slowly but surely with the return of basic rights, such as the right to study and work.
But the new legislation threatens to turn back the clock. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, has called on President Hamid Karzai to rescind the law, saying that it is reminiscent of the decrees passed by the Taliban in the 1990s. Reports say that Karzai signed the law under pressure from influential Shi'ite clerics in order to secure the vote of the Hazaras in the upcoming presidential election., delicious.com
