Kabul: Turkish media reported on Monday that 365 Afghan migrants who were recently deported from Turkey had arrived in Kabul from Aghra City by Afghan plane, with 138 being deported on Saturday and 277 on Sunday.
This follows a broader trend of Afghan refugees fleeing their country for neighboring nations, including Iran, Pakistan, and Turkey, due to economic reasons or security threats.
According to the General Directorate of Migration in Turkey, in January alone, over 68,290 Afghan nationals were deported from Turkey out of a total of 124,441 illegal immigrants deported in the past year.
Many Afghan refugees flee their country due to security threats, and poor economic conditions leading to unemployment. However, most choose illegal entry, and after arriving at their destination, they often live in fear of being forcibly deported and imprisoned.
Similarly, Iran and Pakistan also deport Afghan refugees or put them in jail due to a lack of travel documents. Pakistan has even imprisoned hundreds of Afghan refugees, including women and children, with the issue going viral on social media. Despite these challenges, Pakistan and Iran have hosted millions of Afghans in recent decades.
The ongoing trend of Afghan refugees fleeing their country highlights the urgent need for international support and aid to address the root causes of the issue and provide assistance to those in need.
