RASC News Agency: Certain echelons of Afghanistan society, scattered globally as migrants, assertively express their eagerness for the day when Afghanistan shakes off the shackles of the Taliban, enabling a return to their native abodes. Mohammad Aref, an English language educator hailing from Herat province, who departed Afghanistan due to the prevailing circumstances, conveyed to RASC News Agency on Wednesday, December 27, that “No corner of the world resonates like our Afghanistan, and many are meticulously counting down the moments until the Taliban ceases to hold sway in Afghanistan, facilitating their repatriation.”
He elucidates that, akin to himself, a myriad of individuals across the globe has fervently awaited the Taliban’s defeat in Afghanistan, yearning to revisit their homelands and assuage their concerns. Aref adds, “No Afghanistani, be it a refugee or migrant in Western or Eastern countries, derives joy from this process; they are profoundly nostalgic for their homeland.” Rahmat Sohrabi, another Afghanistani residing beyond the nation’s borders, communicated to RASC News Agency, “Let the Taliban be aware that the curses and condemnations of thousands of innocent Afghanistani men, women, and children linger behind them until the day they are ousted from the country.”
Sohrabi appends, “Many Afghanistanis living outside their city and country shed tears every night, cursing the Taliban.” He underscores that the people of Afghanistan unequivocally reject the Taliban and ardently desire their obliteration and expulsion from the nation. Meanwhile, Mohammad Hakimi, another individual finding refuge in a European country, shared with RASC News Agency: “Over the past few years, since the Taliban’s incursion into Afghanistan, my family and I departed the country, grappling with various adversities.” He asserts that he enjoyed optimal amenities in Afghanistan, leading a tranquil life alongside his family. However, the Taliban’s ascendancy in Afghanistan has stripped him of that tranquility.
According to him, most Afghanistanis presently residing in European countries have access to top-tier facilities, yet they are unwilling to exchange the narrow alleys of their homeland for a hundred Europes, Americas, and beyond. Notwithstanding, Jamil Hamdard, a civil activist in Herat province, informs RASC’s reporter that even in the world’s most affluent countries, Afghanistanis cannot find a place resembling their true home—Afghanistan. He adds that, with the Taliban’s control in Afghanistan, many families, embroiled in conflicts with this group, have forsaken their homes and departed from Afghanistan.
He mentions that the majority of Afghanistanis who sought refuge in neighboring and European countries lament their decision and aspire to return to Afghanistan upon the defeat or destruction of the Taliban. It’s noteworthy that in August 2021, as the Taliban assumed control of Afghanistan, hundreds of families left the country to safeguard their lives, migrating to neighboring nations and seeking asylum in European territories.
