security warning

It can be nervewracking to live in a city with so volatile and threatening a security environment as Kabul.

Today, for example, all NGO and international workers billeted in Kabul found the following security warning in their inboxes:

"Please be aware of demonstration conducted by a small group of people with disabilities.
According to the information a group of people comprised of 60-80 people have came together on Shah Mahmood Ghazi Watt and demonstrating for better Remunerations. The exact location of the demonstration is reported to be between the Ministry of economic (former Ministry planning) and UNDP compound. The demonstration is reported to be peaceful, but ANSO advise NGO community not to drive on Shah Mahmood Watt."

ANSO is the Afghanistan Non-Governmental Organization Safety Office, and we rely on them for these regular bulletins, to brighten our mornings.
