A sort ofGiven that the advancement of radical Islamists has led to the expected wave of refugees Taliban In Afghanistan, the United States is providing 100 million U.S. dollars (approximately 85 million euros) to support immigration and displacement. The White House issued a statement on Friday that the funds are used for “unexpected and urgent needs of refugees and immigrants, conflict victims and other people at risk due to the situation in Afghanistan.”
The funds are also intended to support former US aid workers in Afghanistan.Approximately 20,000 Afghans who worked in the country during the war, among other things, served as U.S. Army I used to work, and now I am afraid of being retaliated by the insurgents, I have applied for a special visa for the United States.

Tajikistan provides help
Afghanistan’s neighboring country Tajikistan announces acceptance of tens of thousands of Afghan residents refugee get ready. Emomali Ibrochimsoda of the Tajik Emergency Committee said that “it is currently possible to receive approximately 100,000 refugees from Afghanistan”. The refugees will be placed in the military training area.
In the past few weeks, the country has temporarily received more than 1,000 Afghan soldiers fleeing Taliban attacks. In the context of the Taliban’s advance, the Tajik army held a major exercise on Thursday. A joint military exercise between Tajikistan and Russia is also scheduled to be held in this Central Asian country in early August.
The Taliban want to control 90% of Afghanistan
The Taliban announced on Thursday that they now control 90% of Afghanistan’s borders. The Kabul Ministry of Defense called this a “out-and-out lie.” Independent verification of data is impossible.
Several Afghan parliamentarians expressed concern about the situation of the Afghan Air Force. They called on the United States to take measures to maintain and replenish ammunition stocks before they leave. Congressman Hajji Ajmal Rahmani warned that one-third of the 150 aircraft are currently out of service due to maintenance work.
Request to stop deportation
In view of this situation, the Green Party politicians in the Bundestag once again called for an end to the deportation to Afghanistan. “The federal government must finally stop deportations to Afghanistan,” Refugee Policy Spokesman Louis Amzberg and foreign policy expert Omid Nuripur demanded. The background is a new situation report from the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs. According to the taz newspaper, the report is downplaying the situation in Afghanistan.
According to taz, regardless of the latest developments, confidential documents from the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs continue to talk about safe areas for deportation. The declared “May status” may be a decisive reason. The current large-scale offensive by the Taliban only began in May, and about 200 of the country’s 388 regions have been conquered. However, at the beginning of May, only 32 areas were still under Islamist control. The “taz” report also expressed doubts about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ claim that people seeking protection can “move to a big city.”
While the United States and other NATO troops are rapidly withdrawing from Afghanistan, the Taliban have conquered most of the country in recent months. Observers worry that Islamists may regain power in the Hindu Kush area after the international forces are completely withdrawn. Peace talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government in Doha have stalled for several months.
