Every day, hundreds of citizens leave the country illegally through Nimroz to Iran due to economic challenges. They say they would not leave if job opportunities were available in the country.

Mustafa, a 19-year-old who has been engaged for three years, wants to go to Iran illegally to pay for his dowry. He says that because of unemployment and economic difficulties, he has not been able to pay his dowry and get married.

Mustafa, a resident of Laghman, told TOLOnews: "The dowries are very high for us, and there is no work here; if work were available, we would not take such risks. Our demand is for job opportunities to be created in our own country."

Mohammad Alam, a resident of Balkh, said: "There is no work here. We have been unemployed at home since Eid al-Adha until today. We are going out of necessity, not out of pleasure."

Meanwhile, Nimroz security officials say they have arrested nearly 400 human traffickers in the past three years.

Gul Mohammad Qudrat, the spokesman for the Nimroz Police Command, said: "Since coming to power, the Islamic Emirate has tried to prevent trafficking in Nimroz province. So far, nearly 400 traffickers have been arrested and handed over to the law."

It is noteworthy that hundreds of citizens leave the country daily through Nimroz to Iran illegally due to unemployment and economic challenges. The Islamic Emirate has consistently urged citizens to travel legally to neighboring countries.
