An important and dangerous development
The voluntary repatriation program, supported by the UNHCR and the government of Iran, began. With no hope of finding suitable employment and a bright future, I decided to return to Afghanistan with my intermediate education and technical skills and to live and work there, fulfilling my civic duty. My entire family, relatives, and friends were against my departure. I remember clearly that the decision was serious, and I registered and submitted my residency documents.
Afghanistan was the worst possible place to live, with poverty, lack of necessary infrastructure, and prolonged wars making it unsuitable for living. However, I managed to work there for several years, engaging in photography, videography, editing, and working on humanitarian and international projects. These experiences, although challenging, were invaluable and provided me an opportunity to serve the community.
Seven years of living in hardship and danger cannot be summarized on a single page. This period was filled with challenges and hardships, but despite all the difficulties, I never stopped striving and continued my journey with hope for a better future. The memories of this time will always remain with me, showcasing my determination and resilience in the face of adversity
Promise of international organizations and the Ministry of Refugee Return
The United Nations office made many promises to support us in Afghanistan, including land and periodic aid. We were even registered with the “Help” institution. However, when we arrived in Afghanistan, these promises were not fulfilled. In the seven years I was in Afghanistan, we were only given a piece of paper that did not turn into land, and the “Help” institution did not accept us either.
Despite all these problems, I continued to work for the UN offices and their projects, risking my life. Unfortunately, they did not fulfill their commitments and left us alone
They put some papers in front of us and told us to sign them so we could pay you. We signed them all and they gave us some money. Later we realized we had only received a quarter
