With the Taliban advancing and occupying the entire territory of Afghanistan, new refugee-migration flows of millions of people are initially directed to the neighboring countries bordering Afghanistan and gradually to Europe.
The Taliban have opened their borders, indirectly wanting to allow all opposition citizens to leave the country, forcing millions of Afghans to flee first to Iran and Pakistan, but also to the former Soviet Union.
The United Nations and the UNCHR and the Refugee Council (NRC) warn that the humanitarian crisis is growing. One-third of Afghanistan’s population has no secure food supplies, two million children need assistance, and most of the population has fled their homes.
There are already three million Afghan refugees living in Iran. Afghanistan has a population of 45 million. Migration flows are directed to Europe via the Pakistan-Iran-Turkey-Greece road-land axis.
Turkey already has three million refugees from Syria. At the same time, the United States is entering into secret talks with its allies in accepting as refugees the Afghan nationals who worked with them during their stay in Afghanistan. Canada has already accepted 20,000 of these Afghan nationals.
The EU should convene a European Council where it should decide to subsidize countries such as Iran and Pakistan to keep all these migratory flows in their territory.
It is certain that international terrorism will recover in Afghanistan with the Taliban and will be used in a new context by countries that will financially support the Taliban regime (please read the analysis entitled “The Geostrategic Significance of Afghanistan which is directed to the Embrace of China »).
