Afghan migrants recently deported from Pakistan are facing a range of challenges upon their return to Afghanistan.
They are urging the Taliban to provide opportunities for employment and education for themselves and their children.
On the other hand, the Ministries of Economy and Labor and Social Affairs have assured that efforts are underway to attract aid and provide employment opportunities for the returnees.
Abdul Rahman Habib, spokesperson for the Taliban Ministry of Economy, stated: “In cooperation with domestic and international organizations, we are mobilizing humanitarian aid for those affected by climate change, addressing the challenges of returnees from neighboring countries, building shelters, providing social services, and reconstructing public infrastructure in vulnerable areas.”
Samiullah Ebrahimi, spokesperson for the Taliban Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, said: “In areas where Afghan returnees have recently arrived, a system has been activated to register their details, education, skills, and experience. This data will be used to create job opportunities for them in the future.”
Previously, the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing announced that it has prepared 60 residential townships across the country to support returning migrants.
