Finland 'Will Not Deport' Afghan Families With Children
2018-09-14
[ToloNews] The Finnish Immigration Service (Migri) announced Wednesday that it had updated its policy on repatriations to Afghanistan; therefore, the agency will not require families with children to attempt to relocate in the capital, Kabul.

Migri said the prevailing circumstances in Kabul have made it less likely that citizens will be able to relocate to the capital to escape persecution or other disruptions in their native provinces, yle said in a report.

"There are more internal refugees. Their situation is so difficult that the options for making a living are limited," said Migri Director General Jaana Vuorio.

She stressed however, that the agency's new policy would not change its assessment of families that are currently resident in Kabul.

As a result of its new approach, Migri said it will only be considering two groups of asylum seekers for repatriation to Afghanistan. They include healthy and able-bodied unmarried men who are not particularly vulnerable in any way, as well as healthy, childless married couples of working age who are not particularly vulnerable and have a safety net in Kabul.

However,
denial ain't just a river in Egypt...
 Migri noted it would not automatically assume that internal relocation is an option for asylum seekers belonging to either of these groups.

"An overall assessment is performed in all cases, and the possibility of internal flight is assessed individually," Migri said in a statement.

Last week Migri announced that it was temporarily suspending Afghan asylum decisions while it considered guidelines issued by the UN refugee agency concerning the situation in Afghanistan.

"The update was performed because, on 30 August 2018, the United Nations

 High Commissioner for Refugees published its guidelines on assessing the need for international protection of asylum seekers from Afghanistan," Migri noted.

The agency has now resumed processing applications, with around 760 asylum applicants currently awaiting decisions.
Herewith a word problem for your delectation, dear Reader:

“Mom” and “Dad” Pashtun appear in downtown Helsinki with their five “sons”,whose given ages are 16, 15, 14, 13, and 13 (the last explained as them being fraternal twins). All of the lads, who look nothing like their parents or each other, have to shave twice a day and all are having problems with their fully erupted wisdom teeth.

Question: How long until two of the lads and their “father” do their best to commit mass murder during a music festival, political rally, or professional soccer game using homemade explosives and several very illegal guns they found under a bench in the park, while another grabs a knife from the kitchen of his “mother” and gets stabby among the Saturday shoppers, and the rest have their way with their classmates of both sexes at school?

#3  Give them a productive skill, like reindeer herding, above the Arctic Circle. Time to start is now, while you still have daylight.

#2  And as many 30 year old Afghans are being passed off as "children," there will be no deportations at all...
