New Housing Technologies and Economic Assistance Figure 1 - Seismic Zones (Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program) Figure 2 - Earthquake Damage in Traditional Housing Goal : Provide safe, attractive, affordable housing for Afghans as they rebuild their nation after a generation of war. Proposal : Work with groups now building homes in Afghanistan to introduce a construction method based on Expanded PolyStyrene (EPS, commonly called styrofoam) walls and roof elements covered with a cementacious material. Styrene pellets would be imported from manufacturers (in India or Pakistan) and expanded into sheets in a local Afghan facility. The volume increases approximately 25 times when it is expanded. We propose to build and test two homes using the design in San Diego in 2003 and be prepared to build 100 test homes in Afghanistan later in the year. Background Energy use is also presents a major problem. The region is at a high elevation (Kabul is 6000 feet) and average January temperatures are 27 F. Most traditional homes are heated with wood, dung, or kerosene. Wood shortages are also creating fuel shortages. And indoor air quality causes major health problems, particularly for women who must spend time indoors cooking with poor ventilation. Eye problems are common.

http://www.unomaha.edu/afghanistan_atlas/economy.html

Extractions: Over two decades of conflict have reduced landlocked Afghanistan to one of the world's most impoverished nations. Rebellion against Soviet occupation throughout the 1980s decimated a large segment of Afghanistan's institutional and physical infrastructure. Most of the more than six million Afghan refugees who departed for Iran and Pakistan during this period have now returned. Continued civil strife during the last 12 years has further eroded the economy to the point of consisting of little more than subsistence farming and cross-border trade. Per capita income has withered severely due to very limited employment opportunities. Unabated opium production, promotion of terrorism and its, until recently, staunch loyalty to Osama bin Laden, who had helped finance the efforts to oust the Russians, have combined to further isolate Afghanistan from the international community. U.N. sanctions imposed in November 1999 have frozen Afghan assets abroad and prohibited international operation of its national air carrier, Ariana. Earlier U.S. sanctions prohibit American investment in Taliban-held Afghan territory. China and most Central Asian countries have also expressed their concern and a number of Afghanistan's borders have been closed to trade. Further sanctions on fuel supplies and trade are under consideration. The Afghans have repressed bin Laden's public activities and in February 2001 offered to extradite him to Saudi Arabia to stand trial.

Extractions: BAGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan It's Sunday in Afghanistan's Air Force Village, and once again, a huge, 15-gallon metal cooking pot will provide a little taste of home to deployed airmen. Harry Connick Jr. sings "A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down" from a CD player as folks line up for another Sunday helping of home cookin' by Senior Master Sgt. Timothy Treaster. "There's a pot of soup right there. Get yourself a bowl," Treaster said with a slight southern drawl to Sunday brunch latecomers. While the Air National Guardsman from McEntire Air National Guard Base, S.C., is clearly the catalyst for Sunday's homespun brand of brunch, he continually refuses to accept credit for the food as he spins off lists of contributors to the day's recipebeef vegetable soup. "I'm not really a cook," he said as he tilted his desert camouflage hat to the back of his head. "A lot of people come out to helpSergeant Rayos, Marv the 'Brit'we just put a bunch of stuff together and come up with some soup. We do whatever we can. Whatever we re able to scrounge up. It's a melting pot of sorts."

Jason was working at the British Red Cross when he joined an emergency response unit heading for Afghanistan over Christmas 2001. Following this he joined the ICRC as a relief delegate, returning to Afghanistan in the spring of 2002. He writes from Afghanistan: "I'm waiting for trucks. It's not the first time I've waited, but this time the frustration is relieved by the reason for the delay: rain. "Rain has been a stranger to this land for several years but conflict has not, and these two factors combined have led to my presence, and the presence of hundreds of other aid workers, in Afghanistan. It's eight months into my mission with the relief department of the ICRC as I reflect upon a momentous year both in my life and in the lives of the Afghan people. "I've been privileged to witness the great changes that have occurred here in the past year and throughout which ordinary Afghans have been striving to rebuild their lives. As a result of years of drought and war, many Afghans had to sell their livestock and belongings as they watched their harvests dwindle and their homes destroyed, and take up more debts just to survive.

Extractions: Cover, by Ted Miller The Congregationalist Christmas story for 2004, a few months early. The dapper gentleman was a bit early, which was very unusual. In Afghanistan, the usual procedure for having houseguests was to set the time on the invitation at about an hour and a half before you really wanted them to arrive. If you said dinner is at six, you might expect your guests to begin getting ready around that hour and arrive about 8:30 or 9:00. So, as I was staying with my parents, 30 years ago, in their home in the Shari Now section of Kabul, Afghanistan, I was the only one who happened to be dressed and ready when Professor Hamidi arrived for dinner. He had come on time! A young boy from the Hazara Moslems, Shiite by tradition, who were subjected to systematic starvation and genocide by the Taliban. Professor Hamidi knew the story; he just wanted me to tell it to him. Three Kings came from Afghanistan. Author Ted Miller, 30 years later, can still hear the sounds of the busy bazaars and savor the smoke of the kababi cooking lamb over charcoal fires. Sufism is the mystical branch of Islam.

Extractions: Home Up Afghanistan History Natural Regions Rivers and Lakes Climate Natural Resources Environmental Issues ... Economy Except for the river valleys and a few places in the lowlands where underground fresh water makes irrigation possible, agriculture is difficult. Only about 15 percent of the land is suitable for farming. Moreover, a war with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in the 1980s and the subsequent civil war in the 1990s left some of that land unusable because of neglect, the planting of explosive mines, and other problems. In general, sheep and goat grazing make up the main agricultural land use. In eastern and southeastern Afghanistan, forest lands amounted to about 2 million hectares (about 5 million acres), or about 4.5 percent of the country, before the war. The ravages of war, the scarcity of fuel, and the need for firewood for cooking and heating have caused rapid deforestation. Because Afghanistan has so many high mountains, the passes through them have been of profound importance in both the history of invasion of the country and in commerce. In the 320s BC Alexander the Great invaded the country through the Kushan Pass (about 4370 m/about 14,340 ft) in the west and left it to the east through the low Khyber Pass (920 m/3018 ft) to invade India. These same passes were used by the Mughal emperor Babur to conquer both Afghanistan and India in the 1500s. The famous Salang Pass (about 3880 m/12,720 ft) and its Soviet-built tunnel in the central Hindu Kush was one of the main routes the Soviets used to invade Afghanistan in 1979.

Extractions: Shipped to Afghanistan Date February 11, 2002 The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that it has sent more than 350 tons of medical supplies into Afghanistan since September 2001. The shipments have been the sole source of essential medicines for about 3 million people, WHO said in a February 11 statement. The shipments are important in a country where the medical system and the supply channels for necessary equipment and drugs have been broken down by years of war and neglect. The WHO is also delivering supplies to remote areas of Afghanistan that are inaccessible because of snow-covered mountain passes through much of the year. WHO is sending supplies by aircraft to isolated Ghor province starting the week of February 11. In October 2001, WHO released a survey of health conditions in Afghanistan indicating that measles, acute respiratory infections, pregnancy related complications, diarrhea, and tuberculosis were major threats to the population. The WHO supplies equip hospitals and clinics to treat these conditions, and the agency offers other essential health services.

Extractions: Special Edition on Love in the Midst of Tragedy Summer 2002 Beginning Again in Northern Afghanistan Hazar Bogh was used as a front line between the Taliban and the Northern Alliance. Both sides contributed to the destruction. Peoples homes have been all but destroyed. Many of the walls still stand, but they are mere shells. The roofs and supports are gone, the wooden frames for the doors and windows have been torn out, and all their belongings looted. UMCOR and Mercy Corps have teamed together to provide the people of Hazar Bogh with shelter kits, fuel for the winter, and household and kitchen items. Getting these much needed supplies to this region of northern Afghanistan was a complicated, circuitous process . The supplies were ordered from Pakistan, and because of the war had to be trucked from Pakistan through Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and finally across the Pyanj river into Afghanistan. Getting goods and people into and out of Tajikistan took weeks of negotiation. When the supplies and relief workers finally arrived in Taloqan, Afghanistan, they still had a 40 kilometer drive ahead of them, over a dirt road full of deep holes. It took hours to negotiate those 40 kilometers. The people of Qanchoga were expecting the arrival of their shelter kits and were waiting with their coupons in hand. When they did their assessment a few weeks ago, Mercy Corps staff had given each family a coupon that listed the family's name and the items they would receive. A typical shelter kit is designed for a family of six or seven and contains a winter tent, six blankets, three sleeping pads, three mattresses, three pillows, and a stove. Kitchen and household items arrived and were distributed a few weeks later. The UMCOR/Mercy Corps crew worked with men of the village to unload the supplies, then demonstrated how to set up the tents and stoves. Afterwards, the village elders hosted them to a dinner of rice with lamb.

As for these sources, I should explain that they provide very little information, except perhaps for Louis Dupree's book on Afghanistan. In particular my hero-author Aitchison (1890) in his magisterial survey on the Products of Western Afghanistan and of North-Eastern Persia, does not mention any fish, nor does Elphinstone, a sub-heroic author whose in-depth study of the Afghans entitled The Kingdom of Caubul (1815, FISH IN AFGHANISTAN Afghanistan is a land-locked country and the nearest ocean, the Indian Ocean, is about 650 miles away.
