The Canadian government has announced that it will take 40,000 Afghan refugees and has urged other countries to increase their support for refugee resettlement. “Canada is welcoming 40,000 refugees and we’re urging others to step up their support to safely resettle refugees, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a tweet.
This comes after Prime Minister Trudeau discussed the situation in Afghanistan with G20 leaders.”Today, I spoke with G20 leaders about the situation in Afghanistan. The global community is committed to the protection of human rights, including of women and girls, and we will continue to use our voices to make sure Afghans have access to humanitarian assistance being provided,” the PM said in a series of tweets.
Following the siege of Afghanistan, the Taliban attempted to project a moderate image to the world in order to garner international trust, but experts say the scenes at Kabul airport show that the terrorist organization has reverted to its extremist and violent ideology. Following the Taliban’s takeover, Afghanistan has fallen into a deep economic catastrophe. The international community has warned that a humanitarian crisis is looming in Afghanistan as the situation for vulnerable Afghans seeking refuge across the country’s borders remains uncertain.
