Ghani assures to prevent Afghans from fleeing country

President Muhammad Ashraf Ghani in World Refugee Day has assured the Afghan people to prevent residents from abandoning the country with providing the overall security.

Ghani says Afghan people need to live in safe conditions and have a secure life.

“Our government is committed for creating a stable and peaceful condition in Afghanistan more than always. We do not want to witness our people flee the country,” President Ghani said.

President Ghani has taken a tough and somewhat unexpectedly blunt stance on the tens of thousands of his citizens who are fleeing the country to make the dangerous journey to Europe.

It is no wonder, then, that Afghans make up the second largest group, after Syrians, to flee to Europe. In the past year alone, 180,000 nationals have fled instability and economic hardship at home.

The World Refugee Day celebrates as over 60 million people around the world are now displaced from their homes, having been forced to flee from war, persecution and disaster

Meanwhile, Afghanistan ministry of refugee and repatriation announces of reduce in the amount of asylum seekers compared to the last year in the country.

“The situation of asylum seeking in 2016 has changed in Afghanistan and we had a remarkable reduce in asylum seekers in the first six months of the current year,” said Sayeed Hussain Alemi Balkhi, minister of refugees.

The Chief Executive Officer, Abdullah Abdullah in the World Refugee Day has also said that Afghanistan is among the largest country that has asylum seekers and needs for further international cooperation.

The deteriorating conditions in Afghanistan also highlight the international community’s failure to deal with the insecurity in Afghanistan.

NATO and its partner nations have roughly 12,000 troops stationed there, yet the Taliban’s reach is wider than at any time since 2001.

The United Nations says if Afghanistan’s national unity government survives 2016, it will consider it a success.

The bar is pretty low. And the Afghan people feel increasingly frustrated. A recent BBG-Gallup survey indicated that nearly 69% of people say their lives have got worse in the past year. Some 81% of people are dissatisfied with the government and 76% with Ashraf Ghani.س
