The European Migration Crisis, which began in 2015, was also associated with the fact that the United States and their allies decided to withdraw part of their forces from Afghanistan and thus launched a large-scale crisis in the labor market in the country. In an interview with Lente.ru, a professor of anthropology and sociology of the Geneva Center for Humanitarian Research Alessandro Monsuti was shared.
The fact is that a significant part of young people who spoke in English worked as translators, drivers, guards in foreign military bases, in UN agencies or NGOs. And in the 2014 all these vacancies – and did not become. It was One of the indirect causes of the migration crisis in Europe next year. So the Afghans reacted to the crisis in the field of labor, “he said.
According to Monsuti now, after the complete withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan, the situation may repeat.
In August, the Minister of Immigration Denmark Mattias Trefaye expressed the opinion that refugees from Afghanistan should remain in their region and not go to Europe. He called on to strengthen the protection of the external borders of the European Union and assist the countries that border with the association.
During the migration wave of 2015-2016 more than one and a half million immigrants from the Middle East and North Africa fell to EU countries. This migration crisis has become the largest in Europe since the Second World War.
