The return of half a million Afghan refugees is uncertain

Desk report: The more Taliban violence is seen in Afghanistan, the greater the refugee crisis. There are already at least 5 million Afghans living in different countries of the world. At present their return to the country is uncertain. They do not want to return to their homeland. As the Taliban gains control of Afghanistan, there are growing concerns. The refugee crisis in particular is becoming more apparent. Many are fleeing the country to survive. Many people are leaving in the hope of a better life.The United Nations says at least 2.5 million Afghans have been displaced since May this year. 80 percent of them are women and children.According to various government and private sources, there are about 3 million Afghan refugees living in Pakistan at present. They have been around for ages. This number is increasing every year. There are about 6 lakh Afghan refugees in Iran. 30,000 in India. Six thousand in Turkey. Some six million in some European countries, and one million in the United States. In addition, many refugees have taken refuge in a few other countries. Canada will provide shelter to more than 20,000 Afghans to protect them from the Taliban in the current crisis in Afghanistan. The list of asylum seekers includes women, human rights activists and journalists at risk of being attacked by the Taliban. This information was given by the Minister of Immigration of Canada Marco Mendisino.At the press conference, the Canadian minister said steps had already been taken to allow interpreters, embassy staff and their family members who have worked for the Canadian government in Afghanistan to reside in Canada. In that continuity, this time a new decision was taken.Most of the refugees in India and Pakistan no longer want to return to their homeland. They have been watching the war for decades. They described the current war as more complicated.On the other hand, as the Taliban continue to occupy different provinces, women are most at risk.In Afghanistan, 20 years ago, women’s education and women’s development were at the bottom. Although the situation has improved somewhat since the arrival of US and NATO troops, analysts fear it could return to the Dark Ages.
