Taliban engages in Brussels talks on Afghan refugees

European Union governments have initiated talks with a delegation from the Afghan government in Brussels to enhance cooperation in the repatriation of rejected asylum seekers, focusing on resuming consular services, identity verification procedures, and document issuance. These discussions are part of efforts to expedite deportations amid criticism from human rights organizations, which view them as a rollback of human rights principles and a restriction on the rights of women and girls. The conversations primarily centered on the deportation of Afghans who have committed serious crimes and pose security threats. This was the first meeting between EU officials and the Taliban since the latter's return to power.
