RASC News Agency: Khaleel ur Rahman Haqqani, the Minister of Migrants and Returnees of the Taliban faction, has recently beseeched the international community to extend aid to forcibly ousted migrants from the territories of Pakistan and Iran. Operating under the aegis of the Taliban faction, the Bakhtar News Agency disseminated a report on Tuesday, December 19th, detailing Haqqani’s transmission of this appeal during a conclave with Antonio Vitorino, the Director-General of the International Organization for Migration.
In the midst of his oratory, Haqqani underscored the disquieting plight of migrants at these delineated border crossings, urging the global community to scrupulously oversee relief entities tending to the exigencies of these displaced populations. Haqqani eloquently stated, “You must personally bear witness to the migrants’ predicament at the nation’s frontiers; their need for succor is authentic.” However, during this convocation, Antonio Vitorino apprised Haqqani that humanitarian organizations are actively laboring to succor the ejected cohorts. He appended that these entities are redoubling efforts to augment aid in the throes of the winter season.
It is noteworthy that the International Organization for Migration has not divulged particulars pertaining to this rendezvous and its purview. This unfolding scenario transpires at a juncture when Iran and Pakistan have been enmeshed in the coercive expulsion of Afghanistani refugees for an approximate span of two months, thereby instigating palpable trepidation among the Afghanistani refugee populace. According to available intelligence, in excess of 500,000 Afghanistani migrants have undergone forcible expulsion from Pakistan, and an additional 400,000 have met a kindred fate in Iran, repatriating to their homeland.
It is imperative to underscore that families subjected to expulsion and repatriation from these two nations have decried woeful living conditions and have fervently beseeched immediate succor from international organizations. Global officials have articulated that the trajectory of expelling Afghanistani migrants from contiguous territories compounds the humanitarian quagmire in Afghanistan, thereby eliciting escalated apprehension among Taliban authorities.
