The arrival of Afghan migrants in Europe expected after the seizure of power by the Taliban will not be as many as those of 2015 linked to the war in Syria, the President of France estimated today Emanuel Macron.
“I do not believe that the situation we will experience will be comparable to that of 2015 because Afghanistan is not Syria and because there has already been a lot of movement of Afghan migrants in recent years,” the French president said in an interview with TF1 and LCI. “What is certain is that more people will try to come to Europe and that this will put pressure on our ability to welcome them,” he said, adding that France wanted to help Afghans threatened by the Taliban.
As for the Afghans whom France wants to grant asylum because they have worked with it in the past or because they are fighting for human rights, there are “many thousands of women and men” who need protection, he added. “We did the best we could (…) We will find, together with our partners, in the negotiations now starting with the Taliban, solutions to finally allow them to leave Kabul and Afghanistan and be protected,” he said. Macron.
France ended its flyover on Friday and the US is close to completing its own within the next few hours. Asked if there was an increased terrorist threat following the Taliban seizure of power, which had previously given refuge to terrorists, the French president said: “We all need to be vigilant.” He insisted, however, that it was important not to confuse the terrorist threat with immigration.
“In recent years, the attacks in France have been carried out mainly by individuals, influenced by external factors,” but “there have been no conspiracies planned abroad. “We have strengthened our means, we are working with our partners and with the friendly countries affected by terrorism,” he said.
