Citing Security Concerns, U.N. Relocating Half Its Foreign Staff In Afghanistan
“Increasing violence in Afghanistan, and in particular the attack last month on a guest house in Kabul that left five of its staff dead, has convinced the United Nations to relocate about half of its foreign staff in the country. Many will be leaving Afghanistan at least temporarily.
The U.N. said its decision is ‘ in light of the 28 October attack against U.N. staff in Kabul as well as further ongoing threats. … It is expected that they will involve short-term relocations for some staff while additional security is being put in place.’”
