Despite the explosive situation in their country, many Afghans are forced to leave French territory. On Saturday, an Afghan asylum seeker will be forced to board a plane to Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. Next week, another Afghan will have to leave France to return to his country of origin.

It is in this context that the National Assembly will be asked to vote on September 18 for a bill, one of which will facilitate forcible return to Afghanistan. Still, the country is still in chaos: Thursday, a car exploded in the center of Kabul, causing the death of ten people. In Afghanistan, suicide attacks like the one on Thursday are almost daily: last week, 16 people died because of the attacks, and 80 others the week before.
"Even your neighbor does not consider you a real Afghan citizen and a true Muslim"
This horror, Zabiola lived it. And that's what drove him to flee Kabul in 2014. "A motorcycle exploded and I lost my uncle," he recalls. In France, he finds himself first on the street, struggling to carry out administrative procedures, before finally obtaining French nationality. According to him, it is the death that awaits the Afghans returned to the country. "Even your neighbor does not consider you a real Afghan citizen and a real Muslim when you come back from France - it's dangerous - not to mention the Taliban."
On the side of the associations, they denounce a text of law contrary to the right of asylum. "France is aware of this," denounces Lola Schulmann of Amnesty International. "France sends people back to danger Yes, France is responsible in these cases."
Despite 3,800 civilian casualties for the last six months, France still refuses to recognize Afghanistan as a country at war.
