AFGHAN POPULATION MOVEMENT SNAPSHOT June 2021 Since the 1979 Soviet invasion and the subsequent waves of violence that have rocked Afghanistan, millions of Afghans have fled the country, seeking safety elsewhere. The Islamic Republic of Iran boasts 5,894 km of borders. Most of it, including the 921 km that are shared with Afghanistan, are porous and located in remote areas. While according to the Government of Iran (GIRI), some 1,400-2,500 Afghans arrive in Iran every day, recently GIRI has indicated increased daily movements with 4,000-5,000 arriving every day. These people aren’t necesserily all refugees, it is a mixed flow that includes people being pushed by the lack of economic opportunities as well as those who might be in need of international protection. The number fluctuates due to socio-economic challenges both in Iran and Afghanistan and also the COVID-19 situation. UNHCR Iran does not have access to border points and thus is unable to independently monitor arrivals or returns of Afghans. Afghans who currently reside in Iran have dierent statuses: some are refugees (Amayesh card holders), other are Afghans who posses a national passport, while other are undocumented. These populations move across borders in various ways. it is understood that many Afghans in Iran who have passports or are undocumented may have protection needs. 780,000 2.1 M 586,000 704 Amayesh Card Holders (Afghan refugees1) undocumented Afghans passport holders voluntarily repatriated in 2021 In 2001, the Government of Iran issues Amayesh Undocumented is an umbrella term used to There are 275,000 Afghans who hold family Covid-19 had a clear impact on the low VolRep cards to regularize the stay of Afghan refugees. -

Elbrus 5642M (South) - Russia
Elbrus 5642m (South) - Russia & Damavand 5671m - Iran EXPEDITION OVERVIEW Mount Elbrus and Mount Damavand Combo In just two weeks this combo expedition takes you to the volcanoes of Damavand in Iran, which is Asia’s highest, and Elbrus in Russia, which is Europe’s highest. On Elbrus we gradually gain height and increase our chance of success by taking time to acclimatise in the Syltran-Su valley on Mount Mukal, which offers views across the beautiful valleys to Elbrus. Once acclimatised, we climb these sweeping snow slopes to the col between Elbrus’ twin summits before continuing easily to the true summit of Europe’s highest mountain in an ascent of about 1000m. A brief celebration and then we fly direct to Tehran where Mount Damavand may be little known outside its home nation of Iran but it is Asia’s highest volcano and provides a delightful challenge for mountaineers. It is located northeast of Tehran, close to the Caspian Sea and dominates the Alborz mountain range. Damavand is, with its near-symmetrical lines, a beautiful and graceful peak that has lain dormant for 10,000 years. On reaching the crater rim you walk around it to the true summit and it is possible to walk into the crater. It is technically easy but demands a good level of fitness. PLEASE NOTE – YOU WILL NEED TO BOOK THIS TRIP AT LEAST 3 MONTHS BEFORE THE DEPARTURE DATE, TO ALLOW TIME TO GET YOUR AUTHORISATION CODE AND VISA FOR IRAN. The Volcanic Seven Summits Challenge – your dream met, a worldwide journey to the seven continents with a unique challenge that has only been completed by a handful of people. -

MIDDLE EAST, NORTH AFRICA India Evacuates Its Citizens from Iran OE Watch Commentary: When COVID-19 Hit Iran, Qom Quickly Became Its Initial Epicenter
MIDDLE EAST, NORTH AFRICA India Evacuates its Citizens from Iran OE Watch Commentary: When COVID-19 hit Iran, Qom quickly became its initial epicenter. Close to Tehran, Qom is the site of pilgrimage to the Shrine of Fatima Masumeh, the second most sacred site inside Iran for Shi’ite Muslims after the tomb of Imam Reza in Mashhad. Beyond pilgrimage, however, Qom is a center for study, second only to Najaf in Iraq. Thousands of foreigners study in its religious seminaries. The excerpted article from the Mehr News Agency, an outlet owned by the Islamic Ideology Dissemination Organization, details a meeting between India’s ambassador to Iran and the governor of Qom as the two governments sought to evacuate the 1,200 Indian pilgrims and students stranded in Qom during Nowruz and after the coronavirus lockdown. In early March, Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar Indian pilgrims in Tehran demand evacuation against the backdrop of the Coronavirus pandemic. reported 6,000 Indian nationals were in Iran, including 1,100 Source: Idat.ir, https://idat.ir/upload/attach/573/20200312-1840070.jpeg from Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Maharshtra, 300 students from Jammu and Kashmir, and 1,000 fishermen from Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Gujarat. The article highlights the many special measures that authorities in Qom took for the safety of Indian citizens and notes that the Indian Ambassador “praised the management of the province in hosting and treating Indian citizens...” India and Iran have always maintained close cultural links. Persian is an Indo-European language and was for centuries the lingua franca across the Indian subcontinent; it was the official language of the Mughal Empire until 1835, when the British Empire imposed English in its stead.
