15 minors from one tiny village in eastern Afghanistan have risked their lives and migrated to EU member countries, revealing the extent of the economic distress in the country
On a sunny autumn day in the Qarghayi District of Afghanistan’s eastern Laghman Province, land workers prepared rice paddies for cleaning. Sipping hot green tea, one farmer, Ibrahim Khan, spoke about the recent changes in the country.
In just one small village in Laghman of around 40 households, 15 children ended up in EU member countries. Some are still stuck on the journey and awaiting an uncertain destiny, while a few have been deported from Turkey and Iran back to Afghanistan. According to the United Nations Refugee Agency , there are 2.6 million registered Afghan refugees in the world and 90 percent of them are hosted in Iran and Pakistan, though sizeable populations exist in other countries in the Asia Pacific region.
"If a family has one member abroad, the rest of the family doesn’t need to worry about anything here," Khan, who is also a van driver, explains. After spending an entire day waiting in the massive crowd in front of the airport, he succeeded in entering the evacuation area at midnight. But his father's call a while later compelled the helpless young Hamza to return home.
