Afghanistan is a high-risk area. Attacks, brutality, corruption, mafias, hunger, poverty, women without rights and now the dramatic effects of COVID-19 are the order of the day. The majority of young people would rather be at home, in their country, with their families, in their houses, with their friends. But they know they can't, because they have no future for all the above reasons.

Afghanistan deportations-suspended detention
Repeating again and again that deportations to Afghanistan are in no way compatible with human rights and European values may seem strange, but the attitude of the Austrian Federal Government unfortunately forces us to do so. Afghanistan is a high-risk area affected by war and terror, and I personally do not know a single deportee who is able to gain a foothold in this country through his or her own means. Even people who have been deported by ...
