Taliban Ready to Team Up with Nigel Farage on Afghan Deportations
In a surprising diplomatic turn, the Taliban has announced it’s open to partnering with Nigel Farage to send Afghan migrants back to their homeland.
What the Taliban actually said
TL;DR: The Taliban is ready to receive returned Afghans and welcomes any help to make the return smoother, not taking money but offering support for newcomers.
Speaking to The Telegraph, the Taliban’s Kabul spokesman shared the following:
“We’re prepared to work with anyone who can help end the struggles of Afghan refugees. Many of them aren’t living well abroad, so we’re open to accepting those who return from places like Iran and Pakistan. Afghanistan is home to all Afghans, and the Islamic Emirate wants to make this country a dignified place for everyone—those already here, those returning, or those being sent back.”
- They’re not asking for money; the focus is on assistance.
- The goal is to ensure a smooth return for all Afghan nationals.
Farage’s reply on GB News
Farage echoed the sentiment: “To stop the influx of boats, we have to start deporting. The Human Rights Act and ECHR set the legal framework, but it’s outdated in many respects.”
He added, “While the system was designed to prevent past atrocities, it now feels relic‑like. Still, I believe it’s the right move.”
Looking Forward
Should these talks move forward, expect a mix of paperwork, negotiations, and perhaps a few bureaucratic bumps. It’s a strange yet potentially pivotal chapter in the saga of Afghan refugees and the politics that shape their destinies.
