The Taliban registers 1,800 unemployed Afghan refugees for jobs in Qatar
The registration aims to reduce unemployment after 2 million Afghans were expelled from Iran and Pakistan, with last month’s registration including 3,100 workers for Qatar jobs.
- On Aug. 13, 2025, the Taliban registered 1,800 unemployed Afghans expelled from neighboring countries for jobs in Qatar in Kabul.
- This year, expulsions by Iran and Pakistan drove at least two million Afghans to leave, prompting a one-day registration for job opportunities in Qatar in four major cities.
- People with refugee certificates lined up at registration centres in Kabul, Kandahar, Herat and Nangarhar, where Samiullah Ibrahimi said, 'These work visas cover 22 different job categories and the 1,800 visas available are for these jobless Afghan returnees.'
- The Taliban government said the program aims to ease unemployment and is in talks to send labor to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Turkey, and Russia, with amnesty pledged for those who left after 2021.
- Rights groups and the UN warned, 'a UN report last month said that the Taliban tortured and threatened Afghan nationals' over their identity or history, risking persecution.
