Green European Journal: How the Legacy of the 2015-2016 “Refugee Crisis” is Affecting Afghans
21.10.2021 - Ever since the Taliban took power and evacuation operations ended, European governments seem to have a single priority: limiting the movement of potential Afghan asylum seekers. Despite localised shows of support for their resettlement, routes for legally and safely reaching the EU remain few and far between. Nassim Majidi, Samuel Hall co-founder, spoke to the Green European Journal’s Francesca Spinelli about the absolute necessity of migration for many Afghans, the futility of returns to Afghanistan, and the urgent need for the European Community to take responsibility and ensure that Afghan refugees receive the protection that is their right under International Law.
