Afghan refugees and their problems

Almost three decades of war since the first Soviet invasion in 1979, foreign enemies and warlords forced Afghans to leave their country. A majority of Afghan refugees emigrated to Pakistan and Iran. Several others made their way to other destinations in the world, but Iran and Pakistan are home of millions of Afghan refugees. There are nearly two million Afghan refugees in
Pakistan and more than one million in Iran. Afghan refugees faced many problems during their emigration. In some countries, especially in Pakistan and Iran, several were jailed for just being refugees and police were beating and fining them with out any logical reasons. Since 2002 more than three million Afghan refugees have been repatriated.

Due to last year's cold winter, repatriation of refugees stopped, but in the current year thousands of refugees will return from Pakistan and Iran. A majority of refugees are homeless and living in tents. During the civil war and Taliban regime, most people were compelled to sell their houses and property for a very cheap price and spend the money to emigrate to other countries. Lack of shelter, unemployment and absolute poverty is a major problem to most returnees. I have been in some refugee camps in Kabul city and people complain about their living conditions. They say that they spent years in exile and with the establishment of the new Afghan government they thought it was time to return home and resume a respectable life, but now they think that returning was a big mistake.

Hundreds of children died due to cold weather inside their tents in different camps. There is a camp beside the ANA central corps with more than 60 tents. Before the onset of winter, the US Army issued blankets and food for all refugees in this camp, which was a great help. And they were safer than any other camp in Kabul. During the winter they appreciated the US Army's help, but there are some other refugee camps that still need food, clothing and medicine and need serious attention. However the government promised many times to issue land for these homeless people, but they never fulfilled their promises. Every day hundreds of refugees return home from Iran and Pakistan. I hope the Afghan government and NGOs help these refugees and that the government issues land to these homeless people and provides education for the kids inside these camps.

Tell us how we can help, Waheed.
 
Yes, how can we help? And where do we send it?
 
Hello dear readers
if you are able to provide help for these refugees i will send my commender's mail address so you guys can send to him and then we will issue the stuff among these refugees thanks for your efforts
 
waheed, your commander is only supposed to receive stuff for his own use. The US Army will tolerate you getting the occasional package via your commander, but if you try to ship stuff for refugees via him, he will get into trouble.

I recommend that you accept donations for refugees via your paypal, and buy things for them locally. That is the best use of resources.
 
Dear Paul
i will talk with my commender and see what he says then i will tell every one which way is the best way to help these refugges
 
Thank you for bringing us this information, with all that is going on in Iraq it is easy to forget that Afghanistan has recently been freed from oppression and that there is still a lot of work to do there.
 
Dear Waheed,
I welcome the patience to learn which is the best way to help. I also agree with Bryan Kerwick about capitalism. Just make sure the government doesn't tax every to death! :)

Property rights give people a sense of their part of this world. Ownership does many things that are good for people psychologically, financially, and humanely. I hope the government gets on the ball soon. Do you have any way to persuade them? Have a great day.

Your blog contains the phrase work from home based business which I found very interesting. Building a home based business is not that difficult but many people are just not suited to the special demands and comitments that a work from home business demands. I have developed an article based web site that discusses these work from home based business issues. Stop by when you can. Great blog.

By that I mean latching on to this or that latest, most innovative idea that some self styled money making guru has put out in the hope it’ll go viral and make them a lot of money off the backs of all the headless chickens who will follow them blindly down a blind alley. Its a shame but a truism nonetheless that people will follow where someone they see as an expert leads. Even if they lead them to certain disaster, which is what most of the gurus tend to do to their flocks.
The trick is to recognize a shadow when you see it!
