RASC News Agency: Due to Pakistan’s decision to forcibly expel Afghanistani refugees, the International Organization for Migration has declared the relocation of 250 Afghanistani refugees from Pakistan to Britain. This information was disseminated by the International Organization for Migration to the media on Tuesday, December 19th, underscoring the successful execution of this transfer. Notably, this relocation unfolds amidst Britain’s commitment to accommodating a total of 20,000 Afghanistani migrants.
In a noteworthy development highlighted by the International Organization for Migration on the X social network, the relocation of these individuals to Britain is regarded as a pivotal moment and a crucial step forward in global endeavors to support displaced Afghanistani amidst war and instability. This unfolds as Pakistan initiated the forced expulsion of Afghanistani refugees nearly two months ago, leading European countries to take charge of the transfer of Afghanistani migrants. Following Pakistan’s initiation of the forced expulsion process, a considerable number of former military personnel, women’s rights activists, and journalists residing in the country expressed concerns and appealed to European nations to provide them with shelter.
It is noteworthy that in the past two months, close to 500,000 Afghanistani migrants have been forcibly expelled from Pakistan and have returned to their home country. It is evident that, following the Taliban’s takeover in Afghanistan, the migration of citizens from this country to neighboring nations, including Pakistan, with the aim of reaching European countries, has surged. Experts posit that poverty, unemployment, challenges within the country, restrictions imposed by the Taliban, and fear of the Taliban have collectively impelled citizens of Afghanistan to contemplate the path of migration.
