Afghanistan: Crisis could presage lasting peace

Report
— IRIN
ISLAMABAD, 1 October (IRIN) - The global effects of the terrorist attacks on the United States on 11 September are now reverberating through Afghanistan, exacerbating the country's pre-existing humanitarian crisis, but the realignment of forces that appears to be under way, nationally and internationally, gives hope of a more favourable climate for peace in Afghanistan than has existed for many years, according to Francesc Vendrell, head of the UN's Special Mission for Afghanistan (UNSMA).

AFRICA: Poverty to rise in the wake of recent terror attacks - World Bank
The 11 September terrorist attacks in the US were likely to hurt economic growth in developing countries worldwide in 2001 and 2002, condemning as many as 10 million more people to live in poverty next year, and  hampering the fight against childhood diseases and malnutrition, the World Bank said in a preliminary economic assessment released on Monday.

"The worst hit area will be Africa, where in addition to the possible increases in poverty of 2-3 million people

On Tuesday, Kyrgyz President Askar Akayev announced that his country was ready to open its airspace to US aircraft in the event of military operations in Afghanistan. Akayev's statement clearly put Kyrgyzstan on the side of the Western alliance against terrorism,

Central Asia: IRIN focus on regional aspects of Afghan crisis

Report
— IRIN
ISLAMABAD, 28 September (IRIN) - United Nations Emergency Relief Coordinator Kenzo Oshima warned on Thursday that, in addition to the dire humanitarian situation in Afghanistan, the continually evolving geopolitical crisis in the country since the 11 September terrorist attacks on the US had potential regional ramifications.
While refugee flows would most likely be towards Pakistan and Iran, if past migration patterns were any indication there could also be refugee outflows in other directions, and the implications of this must be kept in mind, Oshima said.
