Kabul (BNA) Some 1.5 million refugees have arrived in Europe through the Mediterranean Sea, thousands of them lost their live after being hunted by whales.
Afghan refugees make the second category after Syria, to leave for Europe after feeding up with the recent miserable life of unemployment, poverty and insecurity and endanger their own life, family including children to reach a tranquil and peaceful land. Thousands of youth with education documents are waiting for work around the crossroads, most of them leaving the country after being rejected by the different government administrations, while according to the ministry of public works and social affairs over 56,000 posts are still empty within the government institutions including different provinces of the country, with yet to be filled with the unemployed youths. Meanwhile, French police resorted to the evacuation of refugees from a temporal makeshift in the capital Paris, aiming to collect refugees from the streets of the cities.
The French Prime Minister, Franceva Oland has said his country was committed to collect the refugees from all around France and help them receive refuge documents of other European countries, but the time passage would respond to it if he could reach his aim to provide hundreds of thousands of refugees with documents or force them return their native countries.
Thousands of refugees have been sent to the remote villages, some of them seeking asylums inside the compounds of the municipality, after their camps were destroyed by police in France. Besides the challenges facing by the Afghan refugees in Europe, some three million Afghans are living with difficulties in the neighboring Pakistan, where the police are prisoning them in different pretexts, when going to the cities. Up to 600 thousands of Afghans have recently returned home from Pakistan and Iran and are in dire need of aids including food, health and education, from the government in the country. Some 40 per cent of up to 200 thousands Afghans seeking refuge in Germany would be returned home, under a contract signed between Afghanistan and Germany. Violence against Afghan refugees in Pakistan also forced the process of repatriation get accelerated, with thousands of returnees ask the government for provision of enough aids inside the country or return them to the European countries instead of Afghanistan. Each returning Afghan family received 440 USD by the UNHCR, while recently they receive only 350 USD, with so far 65 thousand Afghan returnees are in critical need of primary aids including food, health services and education inside the country. The government of Afghanistan has asked the international community for supplying aids to the Afghan returnees, and the officials of the CEO have said the returning process of the Afghans to the country should take place considering the sensitive condition of the country.
