We are happy this family was helped. But we all need protection — not just one. Selective resettlement is not justice. It divides, excludes, and discriminates. More than 100 Afghan UNHCR-recognized families are still trapped in #Kyrgyzstan without rights, status, or a future.…
Why is UNHCR Central Asia silent? Afghan refugees are being ignored — even those recognized by UNHCR and stuck in #Kyrgyzstan for over two decades. More than 100 Afghan UNHCR-recognized families remain trapped without legal status, without resettlement, without protection. Yet…

Discussed how Afghanistan’s neighbors—Pakistan, Iran, and India—have contributed to the conditions enabling Taliban rule and mass displacement. Condemned Iran’s collective punishment of Afghan refugees and urged all neighbors to help address the root causes still forcing Afghans…
Yes, forced returns to Afghanistan are a crime. But what about those of us trapped for decades — forgotten, though officially recognized by UNHCR? We are Afghan UNHCR-mandate refugees in #Kyrgyzstan, stuck in limbo for over 20 years. No legal status. No documents. No…
New report shows serious human rights violations against people forcibly returned to Afghanistan — mainly from Pakistan & Iran. Abuses include torture, ill-treatment & arbitrary arrest by de facto authorities. More from @UNHumanRights & @UNAMAnews. unama.unmissions.org/afghanistan-un…
Discrimination is unacceptable — but we live it every day. We are UNHCR-recognized mandate refugees in #Kyrgyzstan. We have no legal status, no protection, no right to work — only a UNHCR refugee card that Kyrgyz authorities do not recognize. In 2024, one Afghan girl — a mandate…
For refugees. For stateless people. For asylum-seekers. For internally displaced people. For EVERYONE. Racism & discrimination are a serious threat to life, dignity & human rights. Each of us can help #FightRacism to create more peaceful societies. – via @Refugees

📌 We are Afghan refugees in #Kyrgyzstan, officially recognized by UNHCR since 2008. We fled war 27 years ago. We survived. But now we are trapped — stateless, undocumented, and excluded from all solutions. From next door in Tajikistan, Afghan mandate refugees — just like us —…
We are Afghan refugees in #Kyrgyzstan — recognized by UNHCR, holding official refugee cards. But Kyrgyz authorities do not recognize these documents. We have no legal status, no protection, and no right to stay. 📍Next door in Tajikistan, even UNHCR-recognized refugees are being…
#Afghanistan: @UNHumanRights & @UNAMAnews report documents serious human rights violations against forced returnees, including instances of torture, ill-treatment & arbitrary arrest. Nobody should be sent back to a country where they face risk of persecution.…
📣 In 2024, UNHCR brought a young Afghan girl, Maryam, to meet Secretary-General António Guterres in #Kyrgyzstan. She spoke not only for herself — she raised the real challenges faced by UNHCR-mandate Afghan refugees trapped in prolonged exile in Kyrgyzstan. Weeks later, her…
Too much cherry picking goes on with refugee resettlement
Afghan refugees with UNHCR papers are being deported from Tajikistan. We are Afghan mandate refugees in neighboring #Kyrgyzstan — 25 years in limbo. No status. No rights. No protection. If UNHCR cannot stop deportations in Tajikistan, what will happen to us? We are 115 people…
We are Afghan #UNHCR mandate refugees stuck in #Kyrgyzstan for over 25 years. Integration has failed. We have no rights, no legal status, and no way forward. We don’t need more reports. We don’t need more roundtables — especially when they are held without us, even on World…
Humanity. Neutrality. Impartiality. Independence. Beautiful words — but what do they mean in practice? We, Afghan mandate refugees in #Kyrgyzstan, have been trapped for 27 years. One family was quietly resettled. The rest of us? Forgotten. We kindly ask: @Refugees,…
🔹 Humanity 🔹 Neutrality 🔹 Impartiality 🔹 Independence The UN remains committed to these four humanitarian principles while providing life-saving assistance to people in need around the world.
