Charter flight back to Kabul
Great article on The Samosa about France and Britain planning to share a chartered plane to transport Afghan refugees/illegal immigrants (take your pick) back to their home countries. French officials say that the plan will only go ahead “if it is certain that the people will be safe when arriving in Kabul”. Given the continuing violence in and around Kabul, it is questionable whether such certainty can be sincerely established anytime soon.
A good opportunity to check out The Samosa, a brand new site. It’s shaping up to be a good source of leftfield news and features about international relations and their focus on identity issues is unusual.
