***From The Sunday Times:***
More than 1.1m Afghans have been deported from Iran this year, half of these in the past five weeks, making it one of the largest forced expulsions in modern history. The Iranian authorities say they will not stop until they have expelled all undocumented Afghans, an estimated four million.
In March, however, Iran said it was expelling all undocumented Afghans even though many have lived there for decades. The deportations have intensified since the recent 12-day war with Israel. The Iranian authorities claimed Afghans had spied for the enemy.
On some days last week more than 40,000 were dumped on the borders in a few hours. There have been chaotic scenes as people waited for transport and processing in temperatures as high as 50C. “Israel has more mercy than Iran!” shouted one man at Islam Qala, a border town, on Friday.
Fawzia Koofi, a former Afghan MP now in exile, said: “I heard of one big group of Afghans who paid to rent a big car to the border then the driver just stopped in the middle of the desert and abandoned them.”
Wtf why?? Sounds like what the Turks did to the Armenians!
A clear example of immigrants being used as pawns to distract the public. After the ass whopping they got from Israel, they have to show their citizens how tough they are.
Is this ethnic cleansing?
Expect western NGOS to barely touch this compared to (rightfully) complaining about Trump’s immigration polices.
Refugees go home. That’s always how it was supposed to work.
Afghans have been treated like garbage by the Iranians for decades. Used as cheap manual labour, not given legal status, recruited into militias sent to fight overseas on the Iranian Government’s behalf, denied schooling, healthcare and government services, and now being blamed as spies for Israel during their war.
This happens all over the world. Migrants are treated like dirt, used, then thrown aside and blamed for problems they had no control over. But the Iranians and Afghans are a very close people, to do this against your own betrays how reactionary and desperate the Iranian government is being right now. They will look for anything easy to placate their population, and nothing is easier than blaming migrants for your failures.
