Nearly 340,000 Afghans Repatriated from Iran Since January: IOM
|
 [ToloNews] Numbers from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) indicate that nearly 340,000 Afghan nationals who were lacking legal documents have repatriated from the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
since the start of the current year.
"According to the Border Monitoring Team of the Directorate of Refugees and Repatriation (DoRR), a total of 11,708 Afghans returned from Iran through the Nimroz (Milak) and Herat

(Islam Qala) borders between 14-20 June 2020, a 23% decrease from the previous week (15,215). 3,290 persons returned voluntarily and 8,418 were deported. Since January 1, 2020, the total number of undocumented returnees from Iran is 339,742 individuals. IOM provided post-arrival humanitarian assistance to 1,620 (14%) of all undocumented Afghans from Iran at its Transit Centers in Herat and Nimroz during the past week. IOM is highlighting the significant increase in deportations of Afghans from Iran in recent weeks," the IOM said in a statement on Tuesday.
But, the figure from Pakistain is only 1,800 people during this period.
The IOM statement also said: "According to the Directorate of Refugees and Repatriation’s Border Monitoring Team, 1,871 undocumented Afghans have returned from Pakistain since January 1, 2020. The Afghan frontier with Pakistain at Spin Boldak (closed on March 2) and at Torkham (closed on March 16) is closed due to coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
 ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
related restrictions however exemptions have been granted for the return of Afghan and Pak nationals from Afghanistan and Pakistain back to their respective countries. As of June 22, commercial vehicles are permitted to cross in both directions Sunday through Friday. On Saturday (June 20) a total of 25 undocumented Afghans were deported or returned from Pakistain through the Torkham border. Passenger movements of stranded Afghans and Paks are officially allowed once a week (Saturday). On June 20, 5,762 Afghans returned to Afghanistan and 440 Paks went to Pakistain via the Torkham border. The Chaman-Spin Boldak border remains closed for pedestrian traffic."
The spread of the coronavirus in Iran and the devaluation of the Iranian currency, as well as declining sources of income for immigrants colonists in Iran, are among the main reasons for the increase in the repatriation of the Afghan citizens from Iran.
Zabiullah is an Afghan migrant who spent 7 years in Iran. During his stay he was expelled for several times because of a lack of legal documents.
Zabiullah said that unemployment forced him to go to Iran.
"Iran is not like Afghanistan where you can move freely between two cities, there are checkpoints on the way and they ask for documents," said Zabiullah.
"Most of the time he (Zabiullah) had no job there, if there was no work, then there was no money," said Masooma, Zabiullah’s sister.
"My father called me to come back, he was infected with COVID-19, also the employment situation was not good because of the devaluing of the currency," added Zabiullah.
This comes as Afghanistan and Iran in a joint statement--following a recent visit by Afghan acting Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohammad Hanif Atmar to Tehran--agreed to finalize a comprehensive document on strategic cooperation between the two countries within the next three months.
Atmar's visit comes after two incidents involving the mistreatment and deaths of Afghan migrants colonists in Iran. In early May, Iranian border guards allegedly detained and tortured Afghan migrants colonists and forced them to jump into a river that runs along the two countries, causing many to drown. Then a second incident occurred in which three Afghans were killed when Iranian police shot at a vehicle in the city of Yazd, and the vehicle hit a guardrail and started on fire, killing three Afghans and wounding others.
The two incidents sparked many protests within the country and abroad.
"In the coming months, the high-level delegations (bilateral committees) will make mutual trips between Afghanistan and Iran if there is a necessity for it to help make sure these agreements are implemented," said Geran Hewad, a front man for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to Afghan officials, during the trip, the Afghan delegation emphasized the need for safety of Afghan refugees in Iran, and for respect for their human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
and better living opportunities.
"This is good for the financial affairs of the Afghan refugees. We hope that the agreements sealed between the two sides are implemented in a sincere manner," said Atiq Ramin, head of parliament’s external affairs commission.
