EU Minister Consider Afghan Security, Migrant Challenge

Brussels: The European Union Foreign Minister holds an emergency talk Tuesday to weigh the security implications of the Taliban Afghanistan takeover amid fears that broad fear of the hard Islamic government will trigger an exodus from the state-hit by the country.
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maa said the meeting would focus on how to support each other to get citizens of the European Union and local Afghan staff abroad, how to deal with the Taliban in the future and how to keep the area stable if people leave Afghanistan big numbers.
“We will pay attention to its development very carefully, and those who are now executing power in Afghanistan will be judged by their actions,” Maas told reporters in Berlin.
“We will mainly focus on the stability of the region.
Neighbor countries will certainly be faced with further refugee movements.” Many countries in Europe are worried about the entry of refugees such as the mass of exodus from Syria in 2015.
Afghanistan is one of the biggest groups looking for sanctuary in Europe, after Syria.
Several European Union estimates show that around 570,000 Afghans have submitted asylum requests since 2015.
French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday that France, Germany and other European partners would work quickly on “strong responses” for every entry of illegal migrants from Afghanistan.
He emphasized it would be a joint effort and involved transit countries that Afghanistan could do, which included Turkey.
“Europe cannot assume the consequences,” said Macron.
Austria, meanwhile, plans to suggest at the meeting of the EU interior minister Wednesday that deportation centers were established in neighboring Afghanistan countries.
The arrival of more than 1 million migrants in 2015, most of Syria and Iraq, triggered one of the biggest crises of 27 EU countries as countries swell on how to manage the entry.
The application of asylum by Afghans has increased a third since February because it became clear that the United States would withdraw its troops from Afghanistan.
More than 4,648 applications were submitted in May, according to the UE asylum office.
About half of the applications tend to succeed.
More entry from Afghanistan must be managed for the European Union block 450 million people.
Most Afghans tend to escape to Iran, Pakistan or other northern neighbors such as Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.
On Monday, Chancellor Angela Merkel and other German top politicians warned the possibility of a new wave of refugees and appealed for help to help neighboring Afghanistan make people close to their homes.
“It’s especially about helping neighboring countries where Afghan refugees might go,” Merkel told reporters.
International organizations for migration warned Tuesday about the humanitarian crisis that developed in Afghanistan because conflict worsened the impact of the large drought and a coronavirus pandemic.
It was said that nearly 400,000 people in Afghanistan had been displaced so far this year and that more than 5 million more depend on assistance.
The UN refugee agency called for a moratorium on the forced return of Afghans, including asylum seekers who had been rejected by their claims.
UNHCR also noted that “countries such as Iran and Pakistan have for generous decades to be a majority of the total number of global Afghan refugees.”
