The permanent representative of Afghanistan to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Nasir Ahmad Andisha, at the 114th conference of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) expressed concern about the worsening of the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan.
Andisha said in this meeting that the earthquakes in Herat and the forced return of Afghan immigrants are major factors in the deterioration of the situation in Afghanistan.
"More than half of the population is in need of humanitarian assistance and internal displacement including due to natural disasters, climate changes -- and the forced displacement continues. Most recently the earthquake in Herat province brought significant devastation and loss. The sluggish response to the devastating earthquake in Herat demonstrated the depth of vulnerability, lack of capacity of the Taliban and the gap in international response. However we appreciate IOM’s assistance providing relief to the affected communities,” Andisha said.
Andisha added that from August 2021 until now, thousands of specialists, people with knowledge and skills, are leaving Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman of the Islamic Emirate, said that the Islamic Emirate is trying to handle the situation of immigrants in a better way.
“For those who are experts and have knowledge, or can do something for the country, good opportunities will be provided and currently we are working in various sectors of the country’s development,” Zabihullah Mujahid said.
“We request the high-ranking officials of the Islamic Emirate to have a meeting as soon as possible with the officials and offices that are active in refugee affairs in Afghanistan,” said Alireza Karimi, immigration rights analyst.
The concerns of the permanent representative of Afghanistan to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva about the situation of deported immigrants while Afghan immigrants were expressed while in Turkey, Pakistan and Iran are facing mistreatment and a large number of them return to the country unwillingly every day.
