Afghanistan is experiencing one of the world’s longest and most complex displacement crises, shaped by over five decades of conflict, instability and repeated cycles of forced migration. The Taliban takeover in August 2021 ended active warfare but has not created meaningful opportunities for long-term solutions. Instead, Afghanistan faces a weak economy, declining international aid and frequent climate-related disasters—all of which restrict the ability of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) and humanitarian agencies to respond effectively. Today, the crisis is compounded by mass returns and deportations from Pakistan and Iran, adding immense pressure to already strained systems.
