The Taliban administration has launched programs to provide land and housing to return refugees and internal displaced persons. He recently launched a five -year plan, which said that he “prepares the field for the worthy and safe return of Afghan refugees”. In January 2025, the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing allocated 13,895 acres through Kabul, Kandahar, Bamiyan, Panjshir and other provinces to establish new colonies for the return of Afghan refugees.

Millions of Afghans have been expelled from Pakistan and Iran. According to the HCR’s estimate, 3.4 million refugees have been expelled since 2023, with almost 1.5 million to be expelled in 2024 only. Pakistan is by far the greatest contributor; He has already forced 1 million Afghans. Iran regularly deports Afghans, who are still blamed for the country’s economic misfortunes. During the 12 -day conflict, regular expulsion increased from a few thousand to 30,000 per day. Between January and June 2025, nearly a million Afghans returned, with more than 250,000 Iran revenues only in June.
Human rights groups have raised concerns about the influx of return to Afghanistan and its ability to provide sufficient shelter and financial resources. The Taliban rule has seen restrictions on the employment and education of women, which makes the aid delivery process and the economic recovery more difficult. The wider humanitarian response remains inadequate. A joint report of UNAMA and OHCHR in July 2025 documents the abuses against individuals who are involuntarily returned to Afghanistan, in particular women, former government officials, media personalities and civil society activists. These abuses range from imprisonment, detention, torture, rupture bones, public flogging, simulated execution and waterboarding.
On August 30, 2021, the United States withdrew from Afghanistan, ending a 20 year war. American troops left Kabul after a chaotic evacuation following the takeover of Kabul by the Taliban on August 15, causing the collapse of the Afghan government. The 2020 Doha agreement had previously established the premise for the withdrawal of American troops. Since the removal of the United States, the World Bank and the IMF have suspended funding, and the United States has frozen $ 9 billion in foreign reserves, creating a crisis. According to the Afghan peace campaign, nearly 24 million Afghans rely on humanitarian aid. Annual assistance in the country of $ 3.8 billion per year promised by donors of the Afghan reconstruction trust fund fell to $ 300 million at the start of 2025, and the country faced 47.3% of poverty, 18.6% unemployment and 36.9% of food insecurity.
The Taliban recently brought back refugees from Great Britain, Germany and also refused to take payments, but said they would accept rehabilitation aid. A high Taliban official told telegraph that Afghanistan “houses all Afghans” regardless of their legal status abroad.
