The bloody conflict underway in Syria alone has engulfed great number of non-combatant and unarmed masses and coerced multiplied numbers of civilians flee. As the war continues attracting many more partners the miseries continue likewise. According to credible statistics more than 330,000 people die and over 13 million people injure in the ongoing war in Syria. To escape the violence, more than four million Syrian refugees have fled the country to neighboring Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Caucasus, the Persian Gulf, North Africa from where they take perilous rout to Europe. According to latest reports more than 800,000 migrants have reached Europe by sea so far this year, mostly from the Middle East.
The striking feature of unending bloody conflict is –the persecutors and the killed are Muslims however, the manufacturing labels on antiaircraft and military arsenal indicates the direct and indirect support of other partner countries. Factually, the quest for power gain left the Yemen, Iraq and Syria politically unstable and case-hardened to live in the local population is either left to bear the brunt of violence or flee persecution by seeking refuge in some of neighboring countries.
Afghanistan is another country worst hit by insurgency and endless bloody conflict –this has identically forced large number of fugitiveness.
Insecurity is not the only reason that forces Afghans them flee the country. The Afghan populace also suffers economic discrepancy, social disparity, domestic violence, unemployment and other elementary issues worst affecting masses that are left with a option to search for livelihood in countries abroad. The escalating rebellion and terrorism supplemented with ill-administration, corruption and bad governance have alleviated the probability of betterment at present. The dreary picture, post US withdrawal and following presidential election portrays is not substantive to build up enough confidence persuading Afghans participate in building measure of Afghanistan in substitute for quitting the country. Consequently, large number of Afghans has in pursuit of peace, ecstasy and priceless material gain leave for foreign countries.
However, the Paris attacks and the recovery of a Syrian passport near one of the assailant’s bodies have revived the European debate on whether to take a harder line on migrants. With the continent facing its biggest migration crisis since World War II, EU states have disputed for months on how to stem the flow and share out the new arrivals. The discovery of a Syrian passport near the body of one attacker has raised fears that some of the assailants might have entered Europe as part of the huge influx of people fleeing Syria’s civil war and Afghanistan’s growing insecurity. It is where some of European countries have set to tighten the surveillance over refugees and few have planned to deporting Afghan refugees. Earlier, hundreds of Afghan asylum seekers protested against Germany’s changeable refugee law, calling for better measures to shelter and take them in. Reportedly, large numbers of Afghans are opting for perilous journey to reach Europe –unfortunately the Afghan government has failed to discourage this irreversibly growing number fleeing the country. According to Minister of Foreign Affairs Salahuddin Rabbani, so far this year 146,000 Afghans have sought refuge in Europe –out of these, 43 percent have been given asylum in various countries and that 53 percent are still being processed. He said that a total of 80,000 applied for asylum in Germany alone that has reiterated to deport most if not all of them. It’s not surprising to learn the public official knows the insecurity and unemployment being the driving factor behind Afghans fleeing the country despite of this knowledge no concrete measure is taken to lessen the fleeing number. While talking to the parliament the Minister of Refugees and Repatriation, Sayed Hussain Alimi Balkhi truly underlined the declining security matters catalyzes the fleeing of Afghans.
The ten-year international effort has failed to create job opportunities and millions of Afghans, today, are suffering the negative impacts of unemployment. The consistency of unemployment in the country is doing much to widen the gap between people and the government. Among the several problems given birth by joblessness, three seem to be very concerning. First, it is firmly believed that desperate youths join the insurgents groups who promise them attractive rewards. This can be conceived a major reason for soaring number of insurgents and insecurity graph in Afghanistan. Second, people giving up hope after continuous failure to get a job and are getting addicted to drugs. The number of drug addicts in the country has crossed the figure of 1.5 million. This figure includes teenagers and women.
Third, Afghans, at the risk of their lives, travel to other countries of the world. In this way the work force of Afghanistan is utilized by other countries of the world while the Afghanistan itself is in dire need of reconstruction and development works.
It high time government has to find out and work out the underlying reason behind miseries that force them leave abroad and how that should be discouraged.
The persistent state of insecurity, unemployment is playing eminent role forcing Afghans move foreign countries in the search for better livelihood. The Afghan government must pay greater attention improving the livening condition of ordinary Afghan. This can be done by putting the leadership quality in practice. Conversely, Afghanistan has done a little, making congenial grounds to provide every necessity of lives to returning refugees. In the past two terms, the democratic government, succeeded to earn the fame of bad governance, corruption and irregularities.
It could rarely streamline the socio-political and financial matters of the state. The incumbent government has to take serious measures, reversing the ill deeds of ex-government whilst striving hard to get this piece of land rid of calamities of terrorism, extremism, corruption, illiteracy and poverty, making it amenable to live in, from multi-viewpoint.
