Background
After more than two decades of armed conflict, Afghanistan is in a process
of major transition which does not have the stability or absorption capacity for the promotion of voluntary repatriation, much less non-voluntary return of refugees.
Ethnically targeted attacks against civilians have led to new internal displacement and flows of refugees. Thousands have been seeking safety and assistance in Pakistan and camps for internally displaced persons inside Afghanistan.
It is not yet clear how much authority the new Transitional Authority will have in areas outside Kabul. The Interim Administration, which held office from December 2001 until June 2002, had little control outside the capital.
Delays in the provision of aid has also reportedly affected the ability of the Afghan government to provide protection and support to vulnerable sections of the population.
