UN to remove staff temporarily from Afghanistan
In the wake of a devastating attack on a UN guesthouse in Afghanistan, the UN has decided to temporarily relocate hundreds of staffers as it establishes safer housing for its employees. Most UN staffers living in or around Kabul are protected only by a few Afghan security staff. With doubts growing about the international support for the civilian and military mission in Afghanistan, UN Special Representative Kai Eide announced about 600 of the approximately 1,200 UN staff in Afghanistan will relocate to Dubai and Central Asia for at least three weeks.
