Kabul's fall into the Taliban's hands has re-opened migration debates among European countries, while the leaders of governments are waiting for an inevitable influx of migrants, writes “The Gardiaan”, which has received a promotion from Albania's prime minister, Edi Rama, on the issue.
Rama has estimated that Albanians know what it means to live in dictatorship and what it is like to be a foreigner seeking refuge. I'm shocked to see people leave behind and I want to give them at least one chance to breathe again. We know what it means to live in dictatorship and what it is like to be a stranger looking for shelter somewhere. It's about who we are: It is an honor and duty to do so!”, Rama has declared, criticising the richest states to be turning their backs on Afghans seeking help right now.
This is contrary to the values we preach. Albania cannot solve the problem, but at the same time will not be part of it”, he has indicated.
About 30,000 Afghan citizens have abandoned the country in the last 10 days. Most of them have travelled to Iran or Pakistan, writes the “The Gardian”, which quotes a University of Rome professor, who urges Western countries to prepare for an exclusive from Afghanistan.
