The Taliban movement has expressed its readiness to work with Nigel Farage, the leader of the right-wing populist Reform UK party, on the mass deportation of Afghan migrants from the United Kingdom, The Telegraph newspaper reported, citing a senior official of the movement.
On Tuesday, Farage proposed a plan for the mass deportation of all illegal migrants without exception, which includes UK’s withdrawal from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and a number of other measures aimed at removing legal barriers to the expulsion of migrants.
"We are ready and willing to receive and embrace whoever he [Nigel Farage] sends us. We are prepared to work with anyone who can help end the struggles of Afghan refugees, as we know many of them do not have a good life abroad," the official was quoted as saying by the newspaper on Tuesday.
The official also suggested that it would be easier to negotiate with Farage rather than with Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the report added.
"We will not take money to accept our own people, but we welcome aid to support newcomers, since there are challenges in accommodating and feeding those returning from Iran and Pakistan," the official noted.
