阿富汗不安全的一个后果是境内流离失所问题带来的挑战。7月初以来，难民和无证阿富汗人返回该国的人数激增。我们关切的是，其中一些人的返回并非自愿。相反，难民和无证阿富汗人返回的原因是受到滋扰、与海外当地社区之间的问题以及丧失自立机会。阿富汗邻国必须继续做出承诺，确保自愿和安全返回。我们还鼓励各方伙伴考虑为刚刚发布的联合国1.52亿美元难民紧急呼吁提供资金，美国现正在对该呼吁进行审议。
One consequence of Afghanistan’s insecurity is the challenge of internal displacement. Since early July, there has been a sharp increase in the return to Afghanistan of refugees and undocumented Afghans. We are concerned that some of those returns are not voluntary. Rather, refugees and undocumented Afghans are returning due to harassment, problems with local communities abroad and loss of opportunities for self-reliance. Afghanistan’s neighbours must maintain their commitments to ensure voluntary and safe returns. We also encourage partners to consider funding the just-released United Nations $152 million flash appeal for refugees, which the United States is reviewing now.
