The International Rescue Committee has issued a statement warning against the premature deportation of Afghan migrants from European countries. The organization emphasized that forced returns expose these individuals to severe security and livelihood threats. Pressure from the European Union to crack down on irregular migration has significantly intensified.
According to the statement, Afghan migrants are returning to a country where a massive portion of the population faces starvation. Climate change, natural disasters, and historical conflicts have displaced millions across Afghanistan. Women and girls also encounter systematic barriers restricting their access to education and employment.
Statistics reveal that thousands of Afghan citizens have received orders to leave European territories recently. Many endured dangerous journeys along the Balkan routes, facing abuse by smugglers and inhumane conditions. A sharp reduction in global humanitarian funding has further worsened the already fragile situation inside Afghanistan.
