Population growth, returning refugees, opium poppy production, ethnic tension and drought have increased the pressure on the land. A growing number of rural Afghans are either landless or own plots too small for survival. Competition over pasture is leading to armed clashes between nomads and settled farmers. Neither the Karzai government nor the international community is doing enough to restore order to land relations.

    Cross-border migration into Thailand has steadily increased in recent years. Since the 1960s, hundreds of thousands of Thais
    have gone to work abroad. Refugees from Burma, Laos and Cambodia have since filled this labour shortage in Thailand.
