Why rich Islamic countries have avoided accepting Muslim refugees fleeing Afghanistan
Questions we should all be asking.
ANSWER; TRUST ISSUES
Depending on the size of the world, these countries can very easily
protect those fleeing the Taliban terrorism. Turkey’s GDP is $ 720 billion, Saudi Arabia is $ 700 billion, the UAE is $ 421 billion, Bangladesh is $ 324 billion and Pakistan is $ 263 billion. Bank figures in current US dollars.
Same thing happened when Obama tried to give them refugees from Somalia, nobody wanted them. So we ended up with them.
Dubai is taking in 5k Afghan refugees for a temporary stay of 10 just days at the request of the US.
Why is the trend to settle Muslim refugees in non Muslim countries?
Why are Islamic nations so reluctant to take Muslim refugees?
PEOPLE all over the world are yearning for FREEDOM!
WE the PEOPLE of the world are in a spiritual battle:
> TRUTH vs deception > JUSTICE vs corruption > FREEDOM vs subjection Let’s PRAY, support & take ACTION NOW. TOGETHER, we can achieve greater TRUTH, JUSTICE & FREEDOM.
The Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan has caused a massive outflow of Afghanistan desperately trying to flee the country to escape the swirling violence carried out by fundamentalist groups. But frowned upon is the
fact that Islamic countries have closed the door to Islamic refugees from Afghanistan. With the exception of Iran, all other major Islamic countries
have avoided accepting them.
Iran, a Shiite-controlled country, has already accepted 3.38 million refugees from Sunni-controlled Afghanistan, data from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) show. Of the 3.38 million, 7.8 million are documented refugees, 2 million are undocumented, and 600,000 are Afghan passport holders.
Three Iranian states bordering Afghanistan have set up emergency tents to accommodate Afghan refugees until the situation in Afghanistan improves. Iran is the only large Islamic country in line with the official policies adopted by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Other large members of the OIC, including Pakistan, which hosts one of the largest numbers of Afghan refugees, have simply refused to accept any more refugees this time.

OIC held an emergency meeting on the Afghanistan crisis on Sunday. Meanwhile, the heart of the debate was the safe evacuation of civilians. A post-meeting OIC statement said, “The meeting emphasized the need to cooperate to promote safe evacuation activities and to provide a safe corridor for it.”
The OIC represents 57 Islamic countries on four continents and calls itself the collective voice of the Islamic world. However, a significant number of Islamic countries have chosen not to pay attention to this collective voice during the most important times. Humanitarian issues were involved after the Taliban’s oppressive regime from 1996 to 2001, making the country a worthless terrorist hub. For the lives of women and civilians.
Why Pakistan was reluctant to accept refugees
According to the UNHCR database, Pakistan has 1.4 million Afghan refugees registered, but the total number, including undocumented refugees, could be around 3 million. Pakistan’s official response this time was to close the border, as both Prime Minister Imran Khan and Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Cresi said, “I can’t take any more.”
But the real reason is that Pakistan was the main force driving the Taliban to take over most of Afghanistan by providing weapons, ammunition, training and funding. Pakistan’s intelligence agency, ISI, is said to be very close to the Taliban, and ISI chief Hamed Faiz has recently met with top Taliban leaders, including Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, who is touted to be the next Afghan president in Afghanistan. Was seen.
Greater interest in Pakistan’s Afghanistan requires Taliban domination as it did in the 1990s. The return of the Taliban to the Corridor of Power means that Pakistan will once again rule Afghanistan. And no longer accepting Afghan refugees may be the first step in that direction. Pakistan is also expected to play an important role in the formation of the next government in Afghanistan.

Saudi Arabia was silent and the UAE only allowed refugees to use it as a travel corridor.
In addition to Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were the other two countries that approved the Taliban government in the 1990s. The OIC is led by Saudi Arabia, but is silent on whether to open its doors to Afghan Muslim refugees. In fact, it encouraged the Taliban to take over. The official statement said, “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia wants the Taliban movement and all Afghan parties to work to protect security, stability, life and property, while supporting the people of Afghanistan and the choices they make. I’m checking. Without interference. “
However, the OIC statement specifically states that “civilians who
wish to leave Afghanistan must be allowed to do so.” The UAE has adopted a similar movement. The OIC statement states that “the need to protect and respect the right to life, security and dignity of the people of Afghanistan in accordance with the Tolerant Islamic Principles and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)”, but the UAE is rich. Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia have agreed to allow 5,000 Afghan refugees to only use it as a travel corridor to reach third countries. Afghan refugees can stay in the UAE for 10 days.

Bahrain also states that Afghan refugees have access to its transit facilities,
but hopes that “all parties will stabilize the internal situation and protect the lives of civilians and the rule of law.” And is almost silent about the Afghan refugee crisis.
Turkey wants to increase its influence in the Islamic world, especially in the OIC, and is calling on President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to rebuild the caliphate system for use as a leading tool in the Islamic world. Ready to accept Afghan refugees. For Erdogan, Afghan refugees are not Muslim brothers, but a burden to be ignored, and his country is building a wall on the Iranian border to stop the influx of refugees.
Bangladesh, meanwhile, opposes providing temporary shelter for Afghan refugees. It quoted the influx of Rohingya to defend that decision. The United States requested Bangladesh to provide temporary shelter for refugees, but emphasized that the country was already overloaded with Rohingya refugees and could not allow Afghan refugees. According to the UNHCR database, there were 8,66,457 Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh in 2020.
Similarly, three other Islamic countries in Central Asia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, border Afghanistan. Uzbekistan is not looking forward to accepting Afghan refugees, but Turkmenistan is strengthening its borders. Tajikistan said in July that it would accept 100,000 Afghan refugees, but also warned soldiers along the Tajikistan-Afghan border, 1,400 km long, after the Taliban took over.

These Central Asian countries care about their secular social structure and believe that Taliban hardliners and ISIS terrorists with fundamentalist religious views can enter as Afghan refugees. Therefore, they decided to close the border with Afghanistan and accept a minority. Uzbekistan has stopped issuing visas to Afghan citizens in the past few months.
Several other OIC countries, such as Albania and Uganda, have agreed to provide Afghan refugees with temporary shelter, but only after the request of the United States. Albania temporarily accepts 300 Afghan refugees. Uganda is responsible for 2,000 Afghan refugees.
The OIC is concerned that “the influx of internally displaced persons and refugees will increase and the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan will worsen,” but rich Islamic countries have explicitly avoided accepting Afghanistan refugees. rice field.

Afghanistan: Afghan Folk Singer Fawad Andarabi Shot Dead By The Taliban
His son says he wanted justice and the local Taliban council promised to punish his father’s murderer. A Taliban fighter shot and killed an Afghan folk singer in a restless mountainous area under uncertain circumstances.
That’s according to Fawad Andarabi’s family Sunday.
The killings rekindled concerns among activists that rebels would return to oppressive control of the country after their military blitz overthrew the government. The murder on Friday took place in his named Andarabi Valley. This is the region of Baghlan, about 100 km (60 miles) north of Kabul. Since the Taliban takeover, the valley has been turbulent and some areas of the region have been placed under the control of militias who oppose the Taliban’s rule.
The Taliban had previously come to Andalabi’s house and searched for it over
a cup of tea with a musician, his son Javad Andalabi told The Associated Press. But something changed on Friday. His son says he wanted justice and the local Taliban council promised to punish his father’s murderer. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told AP that armed groups would investigate the case, but there were no other details regarding the killing.

Andarabi was dragged from his home and killed by the Taliban in a restive mountain province north of Kabul on Friday, a local journalist told CNN, raising fears of a return to the militant group’s harsh rule of 20 years ago — including a clampdown on music. His son, Jawad, told The Associated Press that the singer was “shot in the head” at the family’s farm in the Andarab Valley in the northern Baghlan province.
“He was innocent, a singer who only entertained people,” his son said.
The AP was the first to report Fawad Andarabi’s death. CNN has not independently confirmed the circumstances surrounding the singer’s killing, but Afghanistan’s former Minister of Interior Massoud Andarabi, who is also from the district for which the family is named, spoke publicly about his death.
“Taliban’s brutality continues in Andarab.
Today they brutally killed folkloric singer, Fawad Andarabi who simply was bringing joy to this valley and its people. As he sang here “our beautiful valley … land of our forefathers …” will not submit to Taliban’s brutality,” he tweeted Saturday. The killing has raised concerns about a return to the harsh form of rule the Taliban imposed when it was last in control of Afghanistan, from 1996 to 2001. During that time, the Taliban banned most forms of music as un-Islamic.
In an interview with The New York Times Wednesday, Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said “music is forbidden in Islam,” when asked if it would once again be banned in public in Afghanistan. He added that the Taliban hoped it could “persuade people not to do such things, instead of pressuring them.” But the militant group’s previous intolerance for music without religious meaning has made rights advocates wary of renewed crackdowns on artists.
The United Nations Special Rapporteur on cultural rights Karima Bennoune and UNESCO’s Goodwill Ambassador on artistic freedom Deeyah Khan, have expressed “grave concern” over reports of Andarabi’s killing. “As UN Special Rapporteur on cultural rights, (with) UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador on artistic freedom Deeyah Khan, I express grave concern about reports of the terrible killing of singer #FawadAndarabi. We call on governments to demand the Taliban respect the #humanrights of #artists,” Bennoune said on Twitter Saturday.
The Andarab Valley is located next to the Panjshir Valley, 90 miles north of Kabul, where sporadic fighting between the Taliban and an armed coalition of northern militias known as the Northern Alliance has been taking place since last week. Some recent fighting has also taken place in districts of the Andarab Valley. Taliban commanders have told CNN that an agreement has been put in place to stop offensive actions; however, the Northern Alliance has not directly commented.
