The Taliban\u2019s Migrant Affairs Office held a technical meeting with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to discuss ways to support returnees and internally displaced persons. The meeting, chaired by Saeed Ahmad Banuri, head of the Migrants Minister\u2019s Office, focused on reviewing the situation of returnees and strengthening joint cooperation.<\/p>\n
According to a statement released by the Taliban\u2019s office, both parties discussed existing challenges in the return process, humanitarian aid distribution methods, shelter provision, and the delivery of basic services across various provinces. The meeting concentrated on provinces with the highest numbers of returnees and internally displaced people.<\/p>\n
Taliban officials, noting the increase in migrants returning from neighboring countries, called for expanded assistance, especially regarding shelter and primary services. They also emphasized the need for greater coordination between domestic agencies and international organizations, a matter that has frequently faced challenges such as limited resources, lack of coherent planning, and operational restrictions.<\/p>\n
Representatives from IOM also confirmed their ongoing cooperation with the Migrant Affairs Office and reiterated their support for programs concerning return, resettlement, and empowerment of returnees. The organization has previously partnered with Afghanistan in areas including emergency shelter, cash assistance, and supportive services.<\/p>\n
In conclusion, both sides agreed to continue technical meetings and expand collaboration to better address the conditions of returnees and internally displaced persons, while acknowledging that widespread needs across various regions remain a significant challenge to the return process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
