Khalil Rahman Haqqani, the acting Minister for Refugees and Repatriation, has requested Afghan migrants in various countries to respect the laws of their host countries.
Haqqani also advised Afghan migrants to refrain from any actions that could create challenges for them. He called on Afghan migrants to return to their homeland, asserting that an Islamic system now governs Afghanistan and that security has been established.
Speaking in Logar, Khalil Rahman Haqqani said: "Do not interfere in the internal affairs of any [host] country and avoid committing criminal acts. Spend your time there [in host countries] peacefully. Another request we have is that you return to your homeland as soon as possible and invest and work in your own country."
Some Afghan migrants residing in neighboring countries have reiterated that Afghan migrants should not be deported, as many have made significant and small investments in their host countries.
"Three hundred thousand Afghan migrants live here. This is their home, where they have work and livelihoods. Their deportation would cause significant harm," said Malik Shinwari, an Afghan migrant in Pakistan.
"The government should engage in dialogue and political negotiations with the host countries. Additionally, they should ensure that any migrant who wishes to return does so voluntarily, with initial support for reintegration and opportunities in Afghanistan's workforce," said Mohammad Khan Talebi Mohammadzai, an advocate for migrant rights.
In recent months, Afghan migrants in neighboring countries, especially Iran and Pakistan, have complained about mistreatment by the police in these countries.
