Dozens of deportees from Iran were killed in the bus accident

A traffic accident was killed in western Afghanistan A Taliban spokesman for the Taliban confirmed that 79 people, including 17 children, were on a bus carrying Afghan immigrants who were deported from Iran.

The bus was buried, on its way to Kabul, on Tuesday night after colliding with a truck and a motorcycle in Hirat County.

Ahmed Allah Mukhit, Director of Information and Culture at Hirat, told BBC Pasho earlier, each person on the bus, in addition to two of the other vehicles.

In recent months, Iran has risen to deport it to Afghan immigrants who have no documents that fled the conflict in their homeland.

“All the passengers are the immigrants who took the car in Islam Qala,” Mohamed Youssef Saidi told AFP, referring to a town near the Iranian border in Afghanistan Iran.

Hirat police said that the accident occurred due to “the speed and neglect of the bus driver.”

Traffic accidents are common in Afghanistan, where roads were damaged due to decades of conflict and driving regulations are not applied strongly.

Since the 1970s, millions of Afghans have fled Iran and Pakistan, with major waves during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 and after the Taliban returned to power in 2021.

This has contributed to the increasing feelings against emptiness in Iran, as refugees face a systematic discrimination.

Iran had previously given a final date for the unconfirmed Afghans to leave voluntarily.

But since a short war with Israel in June, the Iranian authorities have forcefully returned to hundreds of thousands of Afghans, claiming national security concerns – although critics say Tehran may simply search for a scapegoat for its security failure against Israeli attacks.

More than 1.5 million Afghans have left Iran since January, according to the United Nations Refugee Agency. Some were in Iran for generations.

Experts from Afghanistan warn of the ability to absorb the increasing number of citizens who forcefully returned to a country during the Taliban government. The country is already struggling with a large flow of returnees from Pakistan, also forcing hundreds of thousands of Afghans to leave.

“The return of many people creates additional pressure on the already excessive resources, and this new wave of refugees comes at a time when Afghanistan has begun to feel the brutal effects of reducing aid,” said Arshad Malik, the rural director of children’s rescue of Afghanistan.
