One observation: I've noticed no mention of COVID among the Afghani's or precautions being taken. I wonder if they will be vaccinated before they enter the U.S.??
Afghanistan: Where will refugees go after Taliban takeover?How many Afghans are leaving?
At the moment, it's unclear.
The Taliban control all the main land crossing points with Afghanistan's neighbours (shown on the map below) and the militants have said they do not want Afghans to leave the country. Reports suggest only traders or those with valid travel documents are being allowed to cross.
"The vast majority of Afghans are not able to leave the country through regular channels," a spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said on Friday. "As of today, those who may be in danger have no clear way out.....
However, some refugees have managed to find a way out of the country.
Several thousand Afghans were said to have crossed into Pakistan not long after the Taliban took control of Kabul, while some 1,500 Afghans have reportedly entered Uzbekistan and are living in tents near the border.
In Kabul, thousands of people have been heading to the international airport, currently the only operational one in the country, in a desperate attempt to flee.
On Friday, a Nato official said more than 18,000 people had been flown out of the airport since the Taliban took over, but it's not clear how many of those were Afghan nationals.
The latest movement of Afghans is part of a historical exodus from a country that has suffered instability and conflict over many years.
Even before the Taliban retook control, more than 550,000 people had been forced to flee their homes this year due to fighting, according to the UNHCR.
That means an estimated 3.5 million Afghans are currently internally displaced within the country..............
