Urgent Call for Support to Afghan Refugee Journalists

Following the collapse of Ashraf Ghani's government in Afghanistan in 2021, many Afghan refugee journalists sought shelter in Pakistan and later resettlement in various countries due to the Taliban's advance towards Kabul. However, these journalists are now facing significant humanitarian challenges while awaiting resettlement.

During a conference held on Monday, speakers emphasized the urgent need for collective actions from all stakeholders to support Afghan refugee journalists. The speakers highlighted the critical situation these journalists are currently in and called for immediate assistance to address their pressing needs.

The conference attendees stressed the importance of solidarity and cooperation to ensure the safety and well-being of Afghan refugee journalists. They urged governments, organizations, and individuals to come together and provide the necessary support to help these journalists navigate the difficult circumstances they are facing.

As scores of Afghan journalists continue to wait for resettlement in different countries, the call for concerted efforts to assist them grows louder. The challenges they encounter underscore the importance of swift and effective action to safeguard the rights and security of these journalists during this critical period.
