Country:  Afghanistan

Key Points

? The assassination of former-President and current Chairman of the High Peace Council, Mr. Rabbani, re-sulted in a Presidential statement that Afghanistan would halt negotiations with the Taliban, instead focus-ing upon direct talks with Pakistan.

? Relationships further deteriorated in late September with on-going shelling of Afghani villages by Pakistani forces in the border province of Kunar.

? Violent conflict renders more than 472,000 Afghans displaced, with 167,000 in first seven months of the year. UNHCR estimates 18,206 displaced during the month of August alone.

? 1.4 million non-refugee Afghans who wish to regularise their stay in Iran for work reasons have been is-sued exit permits by Iranian authorities to leave for Afghanistan and then seek a work visa from the Iranian consulates based in Afghanistan.

? On 29 September, the Government of Afghanistan represented at Ministerial level and humanitarian com-munity representatives lead by the Humanitarian Coordinator conducted a coordination meeting on the response to the slow onset drought impacting up to 3 million in 14 provinces in the North, Northeast and West of Afghanistan.
