New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s Dhabīḥ Allah Mujāhid: “Declaration On Afghan Refugees In Pakistan and Other Countries”

For the past 45 years, Afghans have been facing many problems and migrations due to invasions and war in different countries, this situation has been imposed on Afghans and our nation has been forced to do so.

Now, that Afghan refugees are facing various problems and forced deportation; the followings are important and need to be considered:

1-First of all, we would like to thank all the countries that have given Afghans a place in their homeland in the last 40 years, now, once again, we call on them not to forcefully deport Afghans without preparation; rather, give them enough time and countries should use tolerance in terms of good neighborhood, Islamic brotherhood and human affection.

2-Afghans have not created problems for the security of the countries in which they live, nor are they involved in instability.

3-We want the neighboring countries to treat Afghan refugees well, keeping in mind the principles of Islamic brotherhood.

4-From the countries that Afghans return to their homeland as a result of forced deportation, the goods, money and other assets that they are carrying out with them are their personal property and right, no one has the right to turn them away or impose unfair and unjust conditions on them.

5-Those Afghans who are forcibly deported from other countries due to recent difficulties; in order for them to come home, All Afghans, including investors and business owners should remain in close contact with the High Commission for Addressing the Problems of Migrants and extend their support in refugee’s transition, accommodation, shelter, medical treatment and other possible and potential areas.

6-As the Islamic Emirate is in place and the government has ensured security across the country and maintained the atmosphere of brotherhood among Afghans, the officials of the Islamic Emirate have been instructed to help the returnees with full sincerity and accuracy as well as utilize every possible mean to serve them in a proper way.

7-The Ministry of Commerce and Industry and other related entities should provide necessary facilities to the returning businessmen, investors and industrialists.

8-Those Afghans who have left the country due to political concerns, we assure them to return and live peacefully in their country.

May Allah grant both the Islamic Emirate officials and the public the opportunity to provide facilities and services for the Afghan returnees.
