Chaos rules Afghan roads
11/18/2001 (Sydney Morning Herlad) :: Efforts to supply
aid to Afghanistan
have been severely hit by the return of anarchy on the
highways which plagued
the country before the Taliban came to power.
Companies that have ferried aid and commercial goods into
Afghanistan since
the collapse of Taliban rule have cut back operations
after being forced to hand
over much of their cargo amid fears for their drivers'
safety.
The UN High Commission for Refugees suspended its convoys
into the
northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif last week after fears
that two drivers of a private
haulage company had been killed.
Before the Taliban came to power, Afghanistan's roads
were notorious for their
roadblocks with local warlords forcing companies to hand
over much of their
cargo or large amounts of cash.
Most of the drivers based in Pakistan are ethnic Pashtuns
who were
supportive of the Taliban.
Karim Agha, a director of Agha Goods, which has driven
convoys of aid for
agencies such as the UNHCR and the UN's children's fund,
said he was only
allowing his drivers to go as far as the southern city of
Kandahar, where the
Taliban was still struggling to retain power.
"I am worried for my drivers outside Kandahar. There are
many thieves on the
roads. I am worried for their safety," he said.
"There was no crime during the Taliban."
Aziz Khan, manager of Green Ziarat Goods, said he had
decided to halt any
further trips to Afghanistan after some of his drivers
had been victims of
highway robbery.
"When they tell you to stop, you stop. They have guns and
they may torture
you," he said.
"Before with the Taliban, there was not any problems.
With the Taliban
government gone, we have decided not to go into
Afghanistan.
"We are sitting still until a new government appears and
brings back security."
