Mr. Haqqani added that in addition to some emergency aid, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan distributed more than 300 million Afghanis in cash assistance to these returnees and they were transferred to their respective areas with dignity.
On the other hand, the High Commission for the Repatriation of Refugees announced today, Sunday (November 2), that Pakistan had deported a total of 7,913 Afghan refugees from its territory on Saturday (November 10). At the same time, 85 other refugees were forcibly or voluntarily deported from Iran.
According to the commission, these refugees returned to Afghanistan through the Spin Boldak, Islam Qala and Pul-e Abrisham crossings.
On Friday, Pakistan had deported 7,945 Afghan refugees. This comes at a time when the process of deportations from Pakistan and Iran has intensified, thousands of returnee families in Afghanistan are struggling with a lack of shelter, lack of basic facilities and difficult living conditions.
Economic, social, and security-psychological problems caused by the phenomenon of migration
Some Afghan civil society activists and security and legal experts say that the involvement of Afghans, especially young people, in criminal cases is largely due to these problems and a number of other factors that they faced during migration and as a result, they have suffered from psychological problems.
In an interview with Ava, Agha Mohammad Fayyaz, a social affairs expert, said that in the absence of careful planning by the responsible authorities, the phenomenon of the return of refugees can intensify social, economic, and even security-psychological and physical crises.
According to Mr. Fayyaz, the profound social consequences that the return of refugees brings are very wide and widespread and can create deep crises of unemployment, an increase in internally displaced persons, and weak family economies, etc.
This social affairs expert pointed out some consequences and said: "Increasing unemployment is one of the inevitable consequences of the return of migrants, because the unemployment level in the country is currently very high, and the presence of more workers and the lack of jobs can cause economic and social turmoil."
According to him, according to recent reports, in the latest decree of the Leader of the Islamic Emirate, about 90,000 positions have been reduced in the Ministry of Education and 90,000 positions in other departments. With the reduction of these positions, the number of unemployed people in society will increase. With the return of migrants, the level of unemployment will also increase significantly, which will increase poverty and have very destructive consequences in society.
Increasing pressure on public services is another consequence of the return of migrants, which Mr. Fayyaz pointed out and said: "Education and health in our country are facing a shortage of resources. With the return of migrants, especially with families, there is a lot of pressure on schools, clinics and other services."
Mr. Fayyaz stated that the return of many refugees, especially in a short period of time, also increases social and ethnic tensions, adding: "If the return of refugees to the country is not managed properly and is dealt with politically, and the refugees are relocated in areas that arouse sensitivities, it will cause social and ethnic tensions, in which case we will move towards national discord instead of national unity."
According to Haqqani, 68,350 single people were deported from the aforementioned countries and 388 prisoners were released from various Pakistani prisons and returned to the country, bringing the total number of returnees to 207,840.
