Meanwhile, the newly returned immigrants said that they are happy to have returned to their homeland and asked the current government to provide them with work opportunities.
“I have no house, no property. I have nothing in the country. I ask the Islamic Emirate to give us shelter,” said Shafiqullah.
“I am from Kunduz province. Winter is coming, it will be snowing there. We have nothing there, no work, we need help,” said Asadullah, a returned refugee.
