Since the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan on August 15, 2021, many Afghans have been scrambling to flee the country, but their options are limited as many countries are closing their borders to refugees. Turkey and Pakistan are refusing to take in new Afghan migrants as the two countries are already hosting some of the largest numbers of refugees in the world. Meanwhile, South Korea is evacuating Afghans who worked on South Korean projects and are in the process of allowing them to stay for an extended period of time.

@@AyanAli-py7ci You will still be dissatisfied with whether South Korea saved 400 or 4000. Because all you can do is say bad things about people who did things you couldn't do. The situation in Afghanistan has absolutely nothing to do with Korea. Therefore, Korea was not responsible for resolving it. South Korea saved nearly 400 Afghans when no other country could save even one. What more do you want? Does this mean that South Korea, a distant Asian country unrelated to Afghanistan, should accept Muslim refugees in large numbers? I wonder why you and other malicious commenters are dissatisfied with Korea. I hope you who are dissatisfied will welcome and welcome Muslim refugees into your home.

If we unify with North Korea, we can increase the ‘Korean’ population, but it is impossible now, you know. Times have changed and we need to adapt to it. They were only about 400 and could have died because they worked for us. Besides, some of them are doctors and well-educated people. They can rather help us.
