In case they send the wrong person, they agreed to take them back to Europe. But details have yet to sorted.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the agreement notes that &#8220;any person readmitted by Afghanistan who, it later emerges, is not of Afghan nationality&#8221; will be returned to Europe.<\/p>\n<p>The return agreement was made in the lead up to a two-day summit in Brussels on Afghanistan. On Tuesday, the two sides discussed how to empower women in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Afghans were the second largest group of asylum seekers that entered the EU last year. Some 213,000 made the journey, many of them unaccompanied minors.<\/p>\n<p>The Geneva-based International Organisation for Migration says the top three countries of origin of arrivals so far this year are Syria (78,572), Afghanistan (40,791) and Iraq (25,092).<\/p>\n<p>Courtesy: euobserver<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Nikolaj Nielsen The EU and Afghanistan are looking into creating a new terminal at Kabul&#8217;s airport designed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1783,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[318],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
