| Pakistan Deports Over 20,000 Afghan Families in 5 Months | |
| 2025-05-27 | |
From time to time we check on the countries around Afghanistan to see that yes, they continue to send back more of the millions of Afghan refugees that have been accumulating in the near-abroad since the Soviet era. The profits for hosting them dried up after the Biden-Harris Politburo gave Kabul to the Taliban. [ToloNews] In the past five months, Pakistan has forcibly deported more than 20,000 Afghan families through the Torkham crossing.Baz Mohammad Abdul Rahman, Director of Refugees and Repatriation in Nangarhar, told TOLOnews that seventy percent of these families have been resettled in Nangarhar province. He stated: “The number of returnees is 97,883 individuals, with 70 percent of them settled in Nangarhar and the remaining 30 percent relocated to other provinces. In Nangarhar alone, 14,316 families—comprising 68,591 individuals—have been resettled.”
They are calling on the interim government and aid organizations to assist them in securing shelter. Arman Khan, a recently deported returnee, said: “When we crossed through Torkham, the Pakistani police told us we had to pay two thousand rupees. We paid the money and were allowed to pass.” Mir Ahmad Khan, another deportee, said: “If we are supported for even one year, we can stand on our own again. A hand of cooperation must be extended to us.” According to recent UN statistics, since 2023, Iran and Pakistan have forcibly returned more than three million Afghan migrants to Afghanistan. Afghanistan Faces Continuing Waves of Deportees [ToloNews] Seven years ago, Ghulam Nabi, along with his wife and six children, left for Iran to escape poverty, insecurity, and unemployment. But today, after years of living in exile, he is once again in Kabul—not by choice, but by force. Ghulam Nabi, deported from Iran, describes his challenges: “We left here because of poverty and hardship, hoping for a better life there. For the first two or three years, no one bothered us, but in recent months, the pressure increased significantly. We were always running from the police, but eventually, around four o'clock, they caught us all and took us to a camp.” Alongside him, thousands of other families are returning—people who had lived in Iran or Pakistan for years but now have to rebuild their lives in Afghanistan from scratch. Arefa, deported from Iran, said: “We returned from the border and are now facing many difficulties. We lived in another country for a while, and now we’ve come back to our homeland. We ask our government to help us.” Aziz, deported from Pakistan, said: “We were working and earning a living in Pakistan, but now that we’ve returned to Afghanistan, we are facing many problems and need cooperation and support.” According to a recent report by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), more than 107,000 Afghan migrants were deported from Iran and Pakistan in just one week—from May 11 to May 17. The IOM stated in its report that between May 11 and 17, there were 58,200 entries from Iran and 49,245 entries from Pakistan into Afghanistan, recorded by the organization. Experts warn that the mass deportation of migrants without any preparedness for their reintegration could trigger a new humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. Mohammad Khan Talebi Mohammadzai, a migrant rights activist, said: “As long as the return of migrants is not voluntary and supported by international organizations, such actions are considered a violation of human rights. International organizations and humanitarian bodies must negotiate with host governments about harsh migration policies to ease the difficulties faced by migrants.” Meanwhile, the International Crisis Group has urged the European Union to apply political pressure on Pakistan to halt the forced deportation of Afghan refugees. The Crisis Group said in a report: “The EU should also scale up its response within Afghanistan, enhancing assistance for returnees and host communities." Alireza Karimi, another migrant rights activist, echoed this view: “EU pressure can be somewhat effective, especially if it is accompanied by threats of financial aid cuts and reduced diplomatic ties. However, to fully prevent deportations, a multilateral solution is needed.” Previously, a representative of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) stated that 380,000 Afghan migrants have been deported from neighboring countries this year alone and stressed that Afghanistan is not prepared to accommodate this number of returnees. | |

| Trump Hires U.N. Migration Agency to Help Migrants Self-Deport | |||
| 2025-05-10 | |||
| [Breitbart] The Trump administration is hiring a decades-old U.N. migration agency to help illegal migrants self-deport to their home country. The administration has contracted with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), a UN-sponsored agency founded in 1951 to help people spread around the world return to their homes in the aftermath of WWII. The IOM will provide structure to Trump’s self-deportation policy and give migrants advice and assistance in their journeys back to their country, the Washington Post reported. “In the United States, many migrants face a challenging reality — navigating complex systems with limited options and resources,” IOM said in a statement reported by the Post. “This initiative provides support to those who choose to return, helping them make a life-changing decision with care and clarity.” Trump is offering migrants a $1,000 payment to entice them to self-deport, but is also warning of a hefty $998 per day fine if they decide to ignore the offer and remain in the U.S.
More than 1,000 migrants have already agreed to enter the self-deportation process for the $1,000 payout, and the Trump administration hopes this number will substantially increase now that they are working with their “implementing partner” in the form of the IOM. While the IOM has helped more than 1.5 million people migrate back to their home countries, the organization has never before worked with migrants looking to leave the United States, even though the U.S. has been the biggest source of funding for the agency. IOM also noted that it has no role in deportations. “Our role is to ensure that those who lack the means to return on their own can do so in a safe, dignified, and informed way,” the agency explained. “IOM does not facilitate or implement deportations.” Nonetheless, advocates for illegal aliens are advising people not to engage with IOM for fear the independent, UN-affiliated organization will somehow give migrants “biased” information. “I am deeply concerned that this administration is going to present biased information to people,” Greg Chen, senior director of government relations at the American Immigration Lawyers Association, told the paper. Self-deportation is also not favored by many locales outside the U.S. As Bloomberg recently reported, many small towns in other countries thrive off the money illegals send back home earned by working illegally in the U.S. That money, termed “remittances,” can often serve as a sort of “foreign aid,” as if the U.S. was sending American dollars directly to family members living there. Remittances from migrants living in the U.S. sent to other countries is one of the largest amounts of cash flowing out of our country. According to the Migration Policy Institute, in 2023 alone, foreign-born people in the U.S. sent $85.8 billion U.S. dollars back to their home countries.
This is money lost to America. Money that is not spent in our stores, money that is not geared toward growing our economy, and money that does not benefit our country at all. The town of Governador Valadares, Brazil, is another locale impacted by Trump’s migrant crackdown. The town has built an industry out of being a nexus for locals gathering to prepare to migrate to the U.S. But now it finds one of its chief industries slowing down to a crawl as migrants begin turning away from attempting to get to the United States, leaving the region’s migration industry with far fewer customers, both legal and illegal. Governador Valadares is also finding itself turned into a new and unwelcome nexus as flights from the U.S. are bringing back Brazilians who have been deported by the Trump administration. Not only are people returning home, the U.S. dollars they were sending back have stopped with their return. Mayor Sandro Fonseca estimated that his residents were receiving $2 million a day in these remittances, but now that source of income is threatening to disappear. It is a blow to finances that they might struggle to replace. These stories are being repeated in countries all across the world, as locals return home and the money coming from the U.S. begins to dry up.

| More than 5,000 Afghans have died on migration routes: IOM |
| 2025-05-02 |
| [KhaamaPress] The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has reported that more than 5,000 Afghan citizens have died on migration routes since 2014. The findings were published in a report released on Tuesday, April 29, highlighting the dangers faced by those fleeing crisis-affected countries. According to the IOM, thousands of these deaths occurred following the political upheaval in Afghanistan in 2021, when many Afghans attempted to escape the country amid instability and fear under the Taliban  ...Arabic for students... regime. The report further notes that over 52,000 people worldwide have died while fleeing crisis-affected countries during the same period. These deaths underline the devastating toll of forced displacement globally. IOM stated that 54 percent of these fatalities occurred within or near conflict-affected or disaster-hit countries, including Afghanistan and Myanmar. The dangers faced by Specifically, more than 3,100 Rohingya refugees from Myanmar also bit the dust during attempts to flee persecution, reflecting the broader pattern of humanitarian catastrophes across the country. Since the Taliban takeover in August 2021, Afghanistan has witnessed a surge in emigration. The regime’s suppression of civil liberties—particularly the rights of women—has intensified desperation, driving thousands to risk perilous journeys in search of safety and dignity. Despite more than three years under Taliban control, the group has failed to stop the outflow of citizens. Many Afghans, seeing no future in their homeland, are willing to risk death for a chance at life elsewhere. |

 [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Shocking footage captured the moment two coppers fought off several teen girls as they attempted to break up a wild catfight outside a school.

One of the girls then screamed expletives in his face, and struck the officer in retaliation to him pushing her away from the fight. When the girl then attempted to attack the female officer handcuffing another teen on the ground, the male officer swept her legs and took her to the ground as well to put her under arrest. At that moment, another girl joined in the chaotic scene as she screamed at the female officer to 'get off of her', and pulled out her phone to film the confrontation. It appeared the first girl who was arrested had been fighting the second, as when she was picked up in handcuffs she screamed in the other girl's face as she lay on the ground. | |

| Sharp rise in forced deportation of Afghan refugees from Pakistan |
| 2025-04-13 |
| [KhaamaPress] Nearly 45,000 Afghan refugees have returned from Pakistain in ten days amid a sharp rise in forced deportations, UNHCR reports. Since the second phase of the forced deportation campaign began, the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) reports that 44,900 Afghan refugees have returned from Pakistain to Afghanistan in just ten days, from April 1 to April 11. The report states that this figure marks a 31 percent increase compared to the first ten days of the original deportation wave in November 2023. Among the 44,900 returnees, 14,100 were forcibly expelled by Pak authorities, primarily through the Torkham and Spin Boldak border crossings. The UNHCR expressed serious concern, highlighting that many of these refugees had originally fled to Pakistain due to economic collapse, insecurity, and human rights ...not to be confused with individual rights,mind you... restrictions in Afghanistan. Forced deportation, especially of women and kiddies, exposes them to heightened risks including poverty, homelessness, and lack of access to basic services. International human rights groups and the UN have repeatedly urged Pakistain to halt mass deportations and uphold international refugee protections, particularly the principle of non-refoulement. Despite this, Pakistain defends its stance by citing economic strain and security concerns as the main justifications for the crackdown. The report also noted that the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and other humanitarian partners have provided immediate assistance to 2,614 deportees. Nonetheless, challenges related to shelter and basic services for the large influx of returnees remain pressing.

| Thousands Join Machete-Wielding Protesters Against Gangs in Haiti |
| 2025-04-04 |
| [Breitbart] Thousands of Haitian citizens marched through the streets of Port-Au-Prince on Wednesday to protest escalating gang violence and their government’s failure to control it. Some of the protesters told Reuters they wanted to demonstrate their defiance of the gangs and their refusal to live in fear. Many of the protesters were armed with clubs and machetes, and some carried guns. Others said there was plenty to be afraid of and they faulted their government for not doing enough to defeat the gangsters. Some wondered if government officials were actively colluding with the gang lords, who seem to have a great deal of money to spend despite Haiti’s general poverty. “Do you see what is happening? Today, Haitian people will fight to be free already. We are free. Those men today cannot frighten me,” one Port-au-Prince resident told Reuters. And fight they did, as police attempted to break up the demonstrations and gunfire rang out. At least a dozen of the protesters fired their guns at police near the offices of Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aime and his transitional government in Port-au-Prince. The crowd panicked at the sound of gunshots. Other demonstrators blocked roads with stacks of flaming tires and chanted “Let’s go and get them out!” A protest organizer explained to the Associated Press (AP) that they wanted to “take over the prime minister’s office and burn down the CPT.” CPT stands for Conseil Presidentiel de Transition, the transitional governing council. Gregoire Goodstein, chief representative for the U.N. International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Haiti, said the surge of gang violence over the past month has displaced over 60,000 people. “We have never observed such a large number of people moving in this short time,” Goodstein said. Monday’s gang attack on the central Haitian town of Mirebalais seems to have galvanized the public to greater heights of both anger and despair. The attack included a raid on the local jail that freed about 500 prisoners. The IOM said over 5,900 people from Mirebalais and the neighboring town of Saut d’Eau were left homeless by the attack. The Miami Herald spotted red-and-black flags in the crowd, traditionally the symbol of the Duvalier dictatorship, which ruled Haiti from the 1950s to the 1980s. The protesters have apparently embraced the flag as a means of expressing severe discontent with the current government, a grievance they also expressed by spray-painting “Down with the prime minister’s office” on the walls of buildings. The Miami Herald noted that, awkwardly, one of the protest organizers is himself a police officer who works for the presidential palace unit, and also manages a “citizens’ self-defense brigade.” Thursday was the one-year anniversary of the agreement that established the transitional government, which is currently mired in corruption allegations and has lost a great deal of public confidence by failing to schedule new elections. The last election in Haiti was the one that sent Jovenel Moise on his ill-fated journey to the presidential office. The 2016 election was a do-over, after Moise won the 2015 election, but his victory was annulled by accusations of cheating.

| Italy donated €3.5 million to support Afghan returnees, India donated 32 tons of aid for Afghan drug abusers |
| 2025-03-15 |
| [KhaamaPress] Italy has donated €3.5 million to support Afghan returnees, particularly those returning from Iran and Pakistan amid increased deportations. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Afghanistan has reported a €3.5 million donation from Italy to support Afghan returnees. This funding will specifically be used to assist those returning from Iran and Pakistan, addressing the growing number of Afghan migrants returning home under increasingly difficult conditions. The organization further mentioned that its goal is to assist 25,000 returnees over the next 12 months. These efforts will provide critical support for reintegration, including access to housing, education, and employment opportunities. The IOM’s initiative aims to ease the transition for returnees and reduce the hardships they face upon returning to Afghanistan. The IOM announced on Wednesday, March 12 that this financial aid would help facilitate the return of Afghan migrants who have been forced to leave their host countries. This funding is expected to address the needs of those facing challenges in reintegrating into Afghanistan society after returning from abroad. According to the IOM, both Iran and Pakistan have intensified efforts to deport Afghan migrants, leading to a sharp increase in the number of returnees expected in 2025. This trend is seen as a response to mounting pressure to manage migrant populations within these countries, affecting thousands of Afghan families who had sought refuge there. In 2024, the IOM registered over 1.3 million returnees, with 67% of them being forcibly deported. This statistic highlights the pressure that Afghan migrants are facing in host countries, often being sent back without adequate support or preparation for reintegration. These figures reflect the broader crisis facing displaced people of Afghanistan. India donates 32 tons of aid to support drug treatment in Afghanistan [KhaamaPress] The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) stated on its social media platform X on Tuesday, March 11 that it has been actively working to support drug use disorder treatment in Afghanistan. A major highlight is the donation from the Government of India, which contributed 32 tons of humanitarian aid. This current support includes essential medicines, medical equipment, winter coats, social support items, and sports supplies, which will help strengthen drug treatment centers in Afghanistan. India and Afghanistan share strong people-to-people ties. India has consistently demonstrated its readiness to address the urgent humanitarian and developmental needs of the Afghan people, including over the past three and a half years. Since August 2021, India has provided significant relief to Afghanistan, delivering 27 tones of relief material, 50,000 tones of wheat, 40,000 liters of pesticides, and over 300 tones of medicines and medical equipment. This ongoing assistance highlights India’s commitment to supporting the country during times of crisis. |
