Taliban: We’re ready to work with Farage on migrants

Reform UK proposes deporting 600,000 illegal migrants over five years, with the Taliban agreeing to accept deported Afghans supported by aid, aiming to address the UK migrant crisis, Farage said.

  • On Tuesday, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage unveiled a plan to deport 600,000 illegal migrants over five years by striking deals with countries like Afghanistan and Iran.
  • The plan follows the Taliban's 2021 takeover of Afghanistan amid humanitarian and human rights crises, and the UK government not recognizing the Taliban as Afghanistan's legitimate government.
  • The Taliban confirmed readiness to cooperate with Farage's plan, refusing direct payments but welcoming aid to support returnees and pledging to treat them with dignity, while Germany has resumed deportations to Afghanistan after a returns deal.
  • Farage committed £2 billion to encouraging other countries to accept deported individuals, promised to repeal major human rights legislation, and stated that anyone entering the UK unlawfully would be held and removed without the possibility of remaining.
  • Critics warn the plan risks deporting people to hostile regimes, may worsen public anger, and faces legal and practical challenges without strong international cooperation and protections for vulnerable migrants.
