Interior Ministry Cracks Down on Human Trafficking to Iran

[ToloNews] The Ministry of Interior has ordered all paths be blocked that are used for human trafficking to Iran.

Many young people said they are struggling with severe economic conditions, and this crackdown will only cause more problems.

Mohammad Nabi, a resident of Kapisa, and his family came to Nimruz province and are living in a small hotel.

"We were unable to purchase passports and visas. Now when we arrived in Nimroz, the Islamic Emirate closed the borders. Where can I go with these children I have with me?" he said.

Many young people arrived in Nimroz province seeking to cross the border to Iran. They called on the Islamic Emirate to provide job opportunities in the country.

"There is no opportunity for work. Everyone is forced to leave the country to find food," said Hashmatullah, a resident of Kapisa.

"I am not happy about leaving the country but I am obliged to," said Faqir Ahmad, a resident of Kapisa.

The department of Refugees and Repatriation of Nimruz said that the Ministry of Interior ordered all border forces to prevent human trafficking in a bid to stop the illegal migration of citizens to the neighboring countries.

"Afghanistan is going toward development, and the Afghans must try to spend their energy on the development of their own country," said Sadiqullah Nasrat, head of the department.

#1 What is described does not sound like human trafficking although there may be human trafficking in the full article. For refugees, you would have to live in a terrible place for Iran to be the Oz at the end of your yellow brick road. Iran is, unfortunately, surrounded by terribly poor countries. I guess they would kind of be the Dollar General of refugee destinations, if Dollar General was out of food, repressed people and funded terrorism.

#2 If it weren't for my Dollar General Ah'd have to drive 40 miles RT for smokes, chips and beer.
