RASC News Agency: The recent announcement by the Immigration and Citizenship Department of Canada regarding the relocation of 295 Afghanistani asylum seekers from Pakistan to Canada has garnered attention. These asylum seekers were evacuated to Toronto through a charter flight. The news was shared on the X social network on Wednesday night, November 29th. The department stated that these individuals will be resettled in 33 different locations across Canada, including cities such as Calgary, Kingston, and Ottawa.
It is important to underscore that this announcement comes after previous reports of Canada’s efforts to evacuate Afghanistani asylum seekers to their country. Just last week, Canada announced the evacuation of 291 Afghanistani asylum seekers through a charter flight from Pakistan. It is worth mentioning that a significant number of Afghanistani asylum seekers have fled their country and sought refuge in neighboring nations, including Pakistan, following the Taliban’s takeover. Their ultimate goal is to reach European countries.
In response to Pakistan’s forceful expulsion of Afghanistani asylum seekers, Canadian Immigration Minister Mark Miller expressed plans to evacuate Afghanistani asylum seekers from Pakistan to Canada. It is worth noting that in the past month alone, nearly 500,000 Afghanistani immigrants were forcibly deported from Pakistan and returned to their home country. These individuals are now facing dire living conditions and are urgently seeking assistance from international organizations. The challenges faced by the Afghanistani people since the Taliban’s rise to power have led to a significant migration of young individuals to other countries.
