In recent weeks, the large-scale repatriation of Afghan refugees from Iran has sparked concerns at national and institutional levels. While acknowledging each country’s sovereign right to manage immigration, the approach, timing, and treatment of refugees are weighed in terms of human compassion and adherence to neighborly principles.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has extended significant support to returning refugees during the deportation process. Services ranging from temporary shelter, first aid distribution, employment opportunities, and school enrollment for children have been provided to minimize challenges during the refugees’ return. The establishment of transitional camps in border provinces underscores the government’s dedication to ensuring refugees return gradually and with dignity.
For instance, at the Islam Qala border in recent days, the High Commission for Refugees has diligently offered health services, food, transportation, accommodation, and financial aid to the vast influx of tens of thousands of refugees, ensuring their orderly transfer.
It is hoped that the neighboring country, which has hosted millions of Afghan refugees for years, will grasp the sensitivity of the situation and avoid abrupt confrontations and mass expulsions that could render numerous women, children, elderly, and youth homeless. What is vital now is not sudden expulsion, but a gradual, lawful, and compassionate repatriation process that upholds human dignity. Patience, tolerance, mutual respect, and positive engagement form the foundation of Islamic relations and healthy neighborly ties.
Simultaneously, all beloved refugees are urged to return to Afghanistan, their homeland, and contribute to its reconstruction. Afghanistan now offers comprehensive security and abundant opportunities for life, work, education, and peace—opportunities often unavailable in other migration contexts.
While respecting host countries’ decisions, the Islamic Emirate advocates for constructive interaction as the optimal approach to migration challenges. Afghanistan belongs to all Afghans, and it is time for the nation’s children to reunite with their homeland.
