A Taliban delegation will meet with the European Commission in Brussels on Tuesday to discuss the potential return of Afghan exiles. The talks will focus on the repatriation of Afghan nationals currently seeking refuge in Europe. Non-governmental organizations have strongly criticized the prospect of forced returns, citing ongoing safety and human rights concerns within Afghanistan under Taliban rule. The European Commission has stated it intends to discuss the situation of Afghans in Europe and the conditions necessary for safe and voluntary returns. Details of the agenda and potential agreements remain unclear. This meeting marks a significant, though controversial, engagement between the EU and the Taliban government. The outcome could significantly impact the future of Afghan refugees in Europe.
