France in talks with Kabul on returning migrants

France is in discussions with the Taliban about returning irregular Afghan migrants, as confirmed by Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez. While France does not recognize the Taliban government, it is collaborating with other EU nations to expedite deportations, particularly of those deemed threats to public order. Critics, including lawmaker Léa Balage El Mariky, argue this could normalize relations with a regime accused of human rights violations. The International Criminal Court has issued warrants against Taliban leaders for crimes against humanity related to women's rights restrictions. UN officials have condemned the international community's silence on Afghanistan's humanitarian crisis.
