Despite the approval, Western countries started shying away from inviting 44,000 Afghan citizens – Pakistan

At least 44,000 Afghans have been approved to settle in Western countries, but despite this, the relevant nations are reluctant to invite them. Since the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan, these 44,000 Afghans have been waiting to be resettled in the West.

After the fall of the NATO-backed government in Afghanistan in 2021, 120,000 people were airlifted out of Kabul. The majority of them were Afghans.

Since then, thousands more Afghans have left the country. Most of them were shown golden dreams of settling in the countries that occupied their country for 20 years.

Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch says that 25,000 Afghans who were promised to settle in Western countries following the Taliban returned to power are still waiting in Pakistan to be resettled by the West. accept
