Industrialists pledge 40,000 jobs for returning refugees
A number of industrialists have pledged to provide job opportunities for 40,000 Afghans who have recently returned from Pakistan.
Speaking at an event in Kabul, the industrialists said that jobs will be provided for these migrants at 4,000 companies. They also called on the Islamic Emirate to utilize the skills of returning migrants, and they asked Pakistan to treat the refugees humanely.
“Today, we have the ability to embrace the migrants and provide them with favorable working conditions in factories and industrial parks,” Najibullah Seddiqi, deputy of the Industrialists’ Union said.
“Again, we ask our government and the leaders of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan to provide shelter for Afghan migrants,” he added.
“We also announce from the address of the industry sector that we want to curb this challenge with the technical capabilities, financial capabilities and available capacities on the side of the government,” said Shabi Ahmad Bashiri, executive director of Kabul Industry Association.
“We can create jobs for almost 40,000 Afghan returnees,” said Abdul Jabbar Safi, head of the Industrialists’ Union.
According to statistics, more than 230,000 people have returned home from Pakistan since Islamabad issued its orders early last month.
Panjshir’s Parande hydropower dam has been fully completed and is now approaching the operational phase, officials announced on Saturday.
The spokesperson for the governor of Panjshir, Saifuddin Laton, said that for the first time, the province will benefit from electricity generated from its own water resources.
Laton added that the project was designed and implemented by Ukrainian electrical engineers in collaboration with the company Inter Global Middle East, at a cost of $7.6 million.
The dam is expected to have a generation capacity of four megawatts.
Noorullah Noori, the Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, has called Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif a “mentally ill” person for threatening Afghanistan with attacks.
Speaking at a gathering, Noori asked Khawaja Asif to study history before making a decision.
He said: “Your history against Bangladesh and India is clear. Our history against Russia, America and Britain is clear. You judge.”
Pakistani officials have consistently claimed that attacks in the country are organized by militants in Afghanistan, a claim that the Islamic Emirate denies.
Pakistan carried out attacks in Kabul and Paktika about a month ago, which led to deadly clashes between the two sides.
The two sides have held three rounds of talks, but the talks have been inconclusive.
