Bagram Airbase has reportedly been handed over to the U.S., amidst conflicting claims. Trump blames Biden for allowing China’s influence, while the Taliban denies the transfer.
The Bagram Airbase, a strategic military site in Afghanistan, has become the center of conflicting reports regarding its control. The U.S. President Donald Trump recently stated that the airbase, which was handed over to the United States, is now effectively under Chinese control due to President Biden’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
Trump, in a speech at the Republican National Committee on Tuesday, April 8, criticized Biden’s handling of the U.S. military exit from Afghanistan. He argued that Biden’s actions left the airbase vulnerable, allowing China to occupy it. Trump further remarked that had he been president, he would have ensured the U.S. maintained control over Bagram, not just because of Afghanistan’s strategic importance, but due to its proximity to China’s nuclear facilities. According to Trump, the failure to keep Bagram resulted in what he called “the worst disaster in American history,” and the loss of the airbase now gives China a significant advantage in the region.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that Bagram Airbase was handed over to the United States by the Taliban, with U.S. military aircraft, including C-17 planes, landing at the site and bringing military vehicles, equipment, and senior intelligence officials. The arrival of the Deputy Chief of the CIA was also reported, emphasizing the importance of Bagram for U.S. intelligence operations in the region.
However, the Taliban has categorically denied these claims. Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Taliban, dismissed the reports of a U.S. military presence at Bagram as “propaganda.” In a recent statement, Mujahid reiterated the Taliban’s stance that Afghanistan’s sovereignty will not be compromised and that the country would not allow any foreign military presence, including that of the U.S. He emphasized that there was no need for such foreign intervention, rejecting the rumors circulating on social media and in various media outlets.
According to Mujahid, such reports are misleading and serve only to confuse the public. He reaffirmed the Taliban’s position on the matter, claiming that the handover of Bagram to the U.S. is “impossible.”
In a broader context, the strategic significance of Bagram has been widely acknowledged. The base, once a hub for U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, offers vital access to the region and is located within close proximity to China’s key military sites. This makes the airbase a critical asset in terms of intelligence gathering and military strategy, raising questions about its future use.
Despite these contradictory reports, the fact remains that Bagram’s control and future direction have major geopolitical implications. The U.S., China, and the Taliban are all stakeholders with significant interests in the base, each framing the situation in a way that aligns with their strategic goals.
The tensions surrounding Bagram also highlight the ongoing struggles over control and influence in Afghanistan, particularly in the aftermath of the U.S. withdrawal. While the Taliban maintains that Bagram is under their control, reports of ongoing U.S. military activities in the area continue to raise doubts about the true nature of the situation.
As these developments unfold, the future of Bagram Airbase will likely play a pivotal role in shaping Afghanistan’s sovereignty, regional security, and broader global power dynamics. Serving as a symbol of U.S. presence in the region, Bagram’s control is now at the center of intense geopolitical debate. With the situation remaining fluid, it is uncertain whether the base will be fully utilized by the U.S., China, or the Taliban, each of whom have strategic interests in its future. The outcome will significantly impact not only Afghanistan but also the broader security architecture of the region.
IS Bagram Airbase now under US or Chinese Control?
Over 11,000 Afghan migrants have been expelled from Pakistan in the latest phase, while PoR cardholders are protected until June 30.
Pakistani media reports have revealed that, since the beginning of the second phase of forced Afghan migrant expulsions, 11,371 Afghan migrants were deported from the country between April 1 to April 9. This includes both voluntary and involuntary returns.
According to official reports from Pakistan’s immigration department, published by the Express Tribune newspaper, 2,242 migrants voluntarily approached the deportation camps in the Landi Kotal area. The majority of these deportations occurred through the Torkham border crossing into Afghanistan.
Additionally, the Express Tribune report highlights that 1,427 Afghan migrants were arrested in various cities across Pakistan and transferred to the Torkham border for deportation during the same period.
At the Torkham Camp, officials report that the Taliban administration has made necessary arrangements for the returning migrants. A 12-member special committee is providing 24/7 services to the returnees, offering assistance in areas like food, healthcare, transportation, telecommunications, and documentation services.
Meanwhile, court rulings in Peshawar have prohibited law enforcement agencies from taking legal action against Afghan migrants holding PoR cards (Proof of Registration). According to this order, PoR cardholders are allowed to stay in Pakistan until June 30 this year without the threat of arrest or deportation.
The ongoing expulsion of Afghan migrants has raised several questions about the treatment of refugees in the region. While the voluntary return process provides a pathway for those wishing to leave, many are concerned about the safety and security of the returnees as they cross into Afghanistan.
As the situation develops, international organizations and human rights groups have called for more humane treatment of Afghan migrants, urging Pakistan to ensure that deportations are conducted within international legal frameworks and that returnees are given adequate support for their reintegration.
Over 11,000 Afghan Refugees expelled from Pakistan; PoR cardholders protected until June 30
Pakistan has suspended the detention and deportation of registered Afghan migrants until further notice.
Reports from local media outlets in Pakistan reveal that the Peshawar city court has prohibited all law enforcement agencies from taking legal action against Afghan migrants who hold PoR (Proof of Registration) cards. This decision ensures that Afghan migrants with PoR cards can remain in Pakistan until June 30 of this year, enjoying immunity from detention and deportation during this period.
The ruling comes amid a broader crackdown by the Pakistani government on undocumented migrants, particularly focusing on the expulsion of those without proper documentation. The second phase of the deportation process began last week, raising widespread concerns among Afghan refugees in Pakistan.
The human rights organization has called on the Pakistani government to halt the expulsion of Afghan refugees immediately. In a statement posted on social media platform X, the organization emphasized that Pakistan should take corrective measures in accordance with international human rights laws.
Pakistan has been hosting millions of Afghan refugees, many of whom fled to the country due to ongoing conflict and insecurity in Afghanistan. PoR cardholders are registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and are legally allowed to stay in Pakistan.
However, in recent years, political and security pressures have led to increasing calls for the expulsion of undocumented migrants, creating a tense atmosphere for Afghan refugees. This decision by the court offers temporary relief for PoR cardholders, who can continue their lives in Pakistan without fear of immediate deportation.
Despite the court’s ruling, the Pakistani government is under intense pressure, both domestically and internationally, to address the growing issue of undocumented migrants. The situation has prompted various human rights groups to voice concerns over the potential violation of international refugee protection laws.
Some observers have noted that while the court’s order provides temporary protection to PoR cardholders, it does not resolve the long-term uncertainty faced by Afghan refugees. There is growing concern that further actions may be taken against migrants once the immunity period expires.
As the deadline of June 30 approaches, the future of Afghan migrants in Pakistan remains uncertain. The situation could evolve, with the Pakistani government potentially facing difficult choices on how to handle the ongoing refugee crisis.
For now, Afghan refugees with PoR cards can breathe a sigh of relief, but the looming question remains: will Pakistan continue to protect these refugees beyond the end of June, or will the pressure to expel them increase?
This decision underscores the fragile status of Afghan refugees in Pakistan, where political instability and security concerns continue to affect the lives of millions. The international community will likely continue to monitor the situation closely.
Meanwhile, the ruling provides immediate relief to PoR cardholders, it is only a temporary measure. The broader issue of refugee protection in Pakistan requires a long-term solution that respects international human rights standards and addresses the underlying political and security challenges facing both Afghan migrants and Pakistan.

They are calling on both the Iranian and Afghan governments to address their situation seriously.
A number of Afghan refugees in Iran have complained about growing challenges, saying the Iranian government has invalidated their refugee census cards.
They are calling on both the Iranian and Afghan governments to address their situation seriously. According to them, arrests of Afghan refugees in Iran continue.
Marufa Eshaqi, an Afghan refugee in Iran, said: “The Iranian government had previously issued census cards to Afghan refugees, which could be used in schools, hospitals, and elsewhere to avoid harassment. Now, the government has declared these cards invalid.”
Another refugee, Safar Barez, said: “Refugees who have lived peacefully in Iran for years are now facing increasing difficulties imposed by both the government and the public. Life has become very hard for them.”
On the other hand, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi, during a meeting with Alireza Bikdeli, acting ambassador to Afghanistan, said agreements between Tehran and Kabul, especially those facilitating the gradual return of Afghan refugees, must be followed up.
The Iranian embassy in Kabul cited Araghchi: “The Foreign Minister emphasized the importance of bilateral ties between the two Muslim and neighboring countries and the need to implement agreements, particularly on enabling the dignified return of Afghan nationals and supporting Afghanistan’s reconstruction.”
Migrant rights activist Nazar Nazari said: “Iran must continue its historic role as a host country. It should work constructively with Afghan refugees and establish a joint mechanism for cooperation.”
Previously, the Iranian foreign ministry had also mentioned developing a joint plan with the Islamic Emirate to facilitate the gradual and dignified return of Afghan migrants.

Afghan refugees in Pakistan are reportedly facing abuse and property looting during forced expulsions, according to officials’ statements.
The Ministry of Refugees and Repatriations of Afghanistan has condemned the ongoing detention and forced deportation of Afghan migrants from Pakistan. According to the ministry, these migrants are subjected to violence and their belongings are seized by Pakistanis during their forced return.
The ministry’s statement, issued on Tuesday, April 8, accuses Pakistan of mistreating migrants and violating international migration laws. It has called for an immediate cessation of violent actions against Afghan refugees and urged Pakistan to respect the rights of migrants.
Reports indicate that Afghan migrants are being unlawfully detained in Pakistan, with their homes, shops, and markets being raided. They are subsequently transferred to prisons and forced to return to Afghanistan. The ministry has denounced this process, stating that it involves violence, looting, and the seizure of property, which violates Islamic, humanitarian, and international laws.
Furthermore, the statement calls on the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to end the mistreatment of migrants and to refrain from using them for political purposes. It has also urged both Pakistan and Iran to treat migrants according to good-neighborliness, Islamic values, and international law, ensuring their dignity and rights are upheld.
In addition, the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriations has announced that it has started preparations for the forced return of migrants. However, the ministry stressed that the mistreatment by neighboring countries is unacceptable, and that migrants should be allowed to bring their belongings back with them.
A special meeting was held, chaired by Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund, to discuss the mistreatment of migrants and the forced deportations from Pakistan. The meeting, which included key officials, condemned these actions as un-Islamic and inhumane. Participants urged the people, political parties, and influential figures in Pakistan to take responsibility and called on the United Nations and international organizations to take necessary measures to prevent a humanitarian crisis and ensure the dignified return of migrants.
Afghan Refugees’ property looted and expelled with abuse in Pakistan: Officials
Italy has announced plans to resettle 700 Afghan refugees, part of a larger effort to bring 8,200 individuals to Europe, amid global challenges in refugee resettlement.
Italian media recently reported that the government of Italy has decided to relocate 700 Afghan refugees to the country as part of a new humanitarian effort. The initiative is aimed at offering a safe haven to individuals who have been displaced by the ongoing political turmoil in Afghanistan, particularly after the Taliban’s resurgence in 2021.
According to reports, the “Humanitarian Corridor” agreement was finalized on Tuesday, April 8, 2025. The deal, struck between the Community of Sant’Egidio, various Italian ministries, and international organizations, outlines the logistics of safely transferring Afghan refugees to Italy. The arrangement is set to be implemented over the course of three months, ensuring a streamlined process for those in need of asylum. The program focuses on providing a dignified and secure resettlement for Afghan nationals.
The initial group of refugees, totaling 338 individuals, has already been granted entry into Italy. Following this, an additional 362 refugees are expected to arrive by July 2025, bringing the total number of Afghan refugees relocated to 700. This phased approach is part of Italy’s broader strategy to offer sanctuary to vulnerable individuals while managing the logistical and security aspects of their integration into society.
Vatican News reported that the agreement was signed at the Italian Ministry of the Interior, with key participation from organizations like the Community of Sant’Egidio. The program’s implementation is expected to bring a much-needed sense of stability to those fleeing Afghanistan, a country that has faced severe political upheaval since the Taliban’s return to power. The initiative provides critical support for individuals who have endured tremendous hardship and are seeking refuge.
Marco Impagliazzo, president of the Community of Sant’Egidio, expressed that the program represents hope for Afghan refugees, many of whom have been living in uncertain and precarious conditions since their initial displacement in August 2021. These individuals have waited for resettlement, often feeling forgotten by the international community.
Reports indicate that with the implementation of this agreement, a total of 8,200 refugees will be granted safe entry into Europe. The project is fully funded by internal resources and supported by Italian citizens, while thousands of Afghan refugees remain in unstable conditions after fleeing to neighboring countries.
The project also contributes to the broader goal of European countries working together to address global displacement issues. As thousands of Afghan refugees continue to reside in neighboring countries under difficult conditions, the relocation program is seen as a significant step towards providing a more stable future for those who have fled the conflict.
Italy’s efforts to resettle Afghan refugees are a testament to the power of international cooperation and humanitarian responsibility. The country’s proactive approach provides a critical opportunity for Afghan families to begin anew and contribute to society in a secure environment.
The US and Pakistan discussed the military equipment left behind in Afghanistan, focusing on managing its disposal and security.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Pakistan’s Foreign Minister, Mohammad Ishaq Dar, held a phone call to discuss regional developments, with a focus on Afghanistan’s current situation. According to Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the two leaders addressed various topics, but Afghanistan’s security and stability were at the forefront of their discussions.
During the call, Secretary Rubio stressed the importance of resolving the issue of U.S. military equipment left behind in Afghanistan. This has been a major point of contention since the U.S. withdrawal in 2021, with both the U.S. and regional countries like Pakistan looking for solutions.
However, a Taliban spokesperson Mujahid stated that the military equipment belongs to Afghanistan and will not be returned.
The two officials also reaffirmed their commitment to continuing bilateral cooperation in promoting peace and stability in the region. They recognized the challenges faced by Afghanistan and the need for collaborative efforts to address the situation effectively.
Since the U.S. military’s exit from Afghanistan, the fate of the remaining military equipment has remained a sensitive issue. The U.S. seeks diplomatic channels to manage this matter and prevent any potential security risks.
Pakistan, as Afghanistan’s neighboring country, plays a critical role in regional security and political dynamics. Its involvement in discussions regarding Afghanistan’s future is crucial, given its proximity and historical ties to the country.
The phone call highlights the ongoing diplomatic engagement between the U.S. and Pakistan, as both countries recognize the importance of maintaining stability in the region. The fate of the military equipment and other unresolved issues continue to pose challenges in U.S.-Pakistan relations.
Meanwhile, both nations will likely continue their efforts to address Afghanistan’s situation through diplomatic means, while also focusing on long-term solutions for regional peace and security. The cooperation between the U.S. and Pakistan is vital, especially as Afghanistan remains a critical point of interest for both countries’ national interests.

In response, the World Food Programme, which is supported by US funds, stated that cutting this aid is a death sentence for those facing hunger.
US President Donald Trump has announced his intention to cut the remaining US aid to Afghanistan and Yemen.
Donald Trump stated: “You wouldn’t believe it if I say we give Afghanistan a lot of money because that was a Biden deal, another Biden deal. Not only did he embarrass us with that, but they give them billions of dollars to Afghanistan, right? So, we take good care of our friends and we don’t take care of our enemies.”
In response, the World Food Programme, which is supported by US funds, stated that cutting this aid is a death sentence for those facing hunger.
Stéphane Dujarric, spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, said that tomorrow (Wednesday, April 9), a coordination group meeting for Afghanistan will be held in Istanbul, Turkey, with participation from donor countries, global financial institutions, and UNAMA representatives.
He said: “With 22.9 million men, women and children in need of assistance this year, the country is today the world’s second largest humanitarian crisis. The appeal for Afghanistan comes ahead of meetings of Afghanistan Coordination Group that will start tomorrow in Istanbul in Turkey. The group gathers member states, donor representatives, international finance institutions and the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan.”
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Economy stated that halting aid from countries, especially the US, will have severe negative effects on vulnerable populations in Afghanistan.
Abdul Rahman Habib, the ministry’s spokesperson, said: “Budget cuts due to the suspension of US financial aid, reduced food rations, and the halt of certain humanitarian operations by this organization will directly impact the lives of those in need.”
Mohammad Nabi, an elderly man responsible for a nine-member family, has been forced to work with a cart to support his household.
He said: “I have a family of nine. No one else at home can work. No one has helped me. Sometimes I find work, sometimes not. Sometimes we have food, sometimes we don’t.”
The WFP office in Afghanistan said a day earlier that the country is facing an unprecedented child malnutrition crisis, and many mothers are also malnourished.

It was the middle of the night when Zarin Gul realised that her daughter Nasrin had to get to the hospital as soon as possible. Her daughter’s husband was away working in Iran and the two women were alone with Nasrin’s seven children when Nasrin, heavily pregnant with her eighth child, began experiencing severe pains.
Gul helped Nasrin into a rickshaw and they set off into the night. Holding her daughter’s hand as the rickshaw jolted over the dirt road, Gul says she prayed they would not encounter a Taliban checkpoint.
“I kept thinking, if only Nasrin’s husband were here. If only I could ease my daughter’s pain,” she says. Her prayers were not answered. The rickshaw’s small lamp was spotted by Taliban fighters who signalled for them to stop and demanded to know where they were going.
As a frightened Gul explained that her daughter was sick and needed urgent medical attention, they asked why the women were travelling without a male escort, or mahram. Even though Gul explained that Nasrin’s husband was working abroad, the fighters refused to allow them to pass and continue their journey to the hospital.
“I begged them, telling them my daughter was dying. I pleaded for their permission,” says Gul. “But they still refused. In desperation, I lied and said the rickshaw driver was my nephew and our guardian. Only then did they let us pass.”
By the time they reached the hospital it was too late. Nasrin’s baby had already died in her womb, and her uterus had ruptured. The doctors said Nasrin needed to be transferred to another hospital and so Gul helped her daughter into another rickshaw and they set off again, towards a government hospital an hour away. On their way they were stopped at two more Taliban checkpoints, each time detained for long periods because they were travelling alone.
They did finally reach the hospital, but Nasrin had not survived the journey. “The doctors told us that due to excessive bleeding and the ruptured uterus, both the baby and the mother had died,” says Gul. “We buried them side by side.”
The Guardian and Zan Times, an Afghan news agency, has interviewed dozens of women and healthcare professionals across multiple Afghan provinces. Their testimonies build a picture of a maternal and child healthcare system dangerously compromised and eroded by the Taliban’s draconian policies towards women.

Their refusal to let women travel to hospitals unaccompanied, combined with increasing rates of early marriage, poor access to healthcare, unsafe roads and a cultural neglect of women’s health will inevitably contribute to increased maternal deaths in Afghanistan, according to UN agencies.
Even before the Taliban took power, Afghanistan had a maternal mortality rate three times higher than the global average, according to the last official World Bank figures from 2020.
Experts warn that maternal health is likely to deteriorate further, compounded by the Taliban’s decision in December 2024 to close all medical training to women, including prospective midwives.
According to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), 24 mothers and 167 infants already die every day in Afghanistan from preventable causes. It is estimated that more than 20,000 villages across the country lack basic healthcare services, affecting 14 million people.
A recent UN Women report estimated that by 2026, a woman’s chance of dying in childbirth will have increased by 50%.

Hospital staff in provinces across Afghanistan have reported that women have been persistently prevented from accessing maternal healthcare because they were not accompanied by a man.
A medical professional at Mirwais regional hospital in Kandahar says the hospital receives female patients from across Kandahar but also from neighbouring provinces.
“Most arrive in critical condition and some die simply because they were brought in too late,” they say. “Some babies die in the womb, while others pass away within minutes of birth.” According to staff, the hospital recorded at least 800 maternal deaths and more than 1,000 newborn deaths last year.
“A young woman arrived at the hospital after giving birth in a taxi,” says Samina, a midwife working in a government hospital in Kandahar. “Her baby had died on the way due to a lack of oxygen. When I asked her why she hadn’t come to the hospital sooner, she replied, ‘I had to wait for my husband to return from work. I had no other male guardian.’”
Two women told the Guardian they had experienced miscarriage due to inability to access care. One interviewee reported the death of a family member during labour.
“My sister died yesterday during childbirth,” says 35-year-old Pashtana* from Kandahar province. “Her husband was not at home when she went into labour, and she could not go to the doctor alone.”
Pashtana said if her sister had travelled to the clinic alone, “she would not be treated because she did not have a mahram”.
Several women told the Guardian that they were denied treatment and prescriptions in the absence of a male guardian or because they lacked the permission of one.
“I don’t get to see the doctors or get medicines unless I am accompanied by my son or grandson,” says Qandi Gul*, a 50-year-old woman who had travelled to a clinic for an eye exam.
A female doctor from the eastern province of Nangarhar says: “Since the Taliban takeover, women don’t visit the doctor unless the sickness develops to the point of being unbearable.

“One reason is because of financial hardships, but sometimes the reason is because the men of the families are careless and do not bring the woman to the doctor sooner. And since they can’t travel on their own, their condition worsens,” she says.
Already, a growing shortage of qualified medical professionals and midwives is putting the lives of women and children at serious risk, particularly in rural areas where few trained doctors are available.
Doctors interviewed by the Guardian estimated that “more than half” of their female colleagues had quit their jobs, particularly in smaller cities and villages.
“Most of my colleagues have left Afghanistan and this has severely affected the healthcare sector in the country,” said Dr Sima*, who chose to stay along with her husband, also a doctor. “We are both specialists, and we realised we would not be able to do this work abroad so we stayed to serve the country.”
A midwife from Takhar province says officials from the Taliban’s ministry for the propagation of virtue and prevention of vice constantly harass and humiliate female medical staff. “We try our best to do our jobs, but the pressure is unbearable. Many of us just want to quit. Sometimes, they insult us, claiming our clothing is ‘un-Islamic’.
“One day, our emergency ward was overwhelmed with patients. That section is for women only, and men are not allowed. But Taliban enforcers barged in and took away three female nurses, claiming their uniforms were inappropriate. They made them sign a pledge to wear longer clothing before letting them go. Even in life and death emergencies, instead of letting us treat patients they are instead arresting us over our clothing.”

‘I begged them, my daughter was dying’: how Taliban male escort rules are killing mothers and babies
The World Food Programme (WFP) has once again warned about the dire situation facing children in Afghanistan, stating that millions of Afghan children are at serious risk of malnutrition this year.
According to WFP officials in Afghanistan, recent assessments reveal that at least 3.5 million children across the country will face malnutrition in the current year, a problem that continues to worsen daily.
The organization emphasized that every ten seconds, one Afghan child succumbs to malnutrition, highlighting the severity of the humanitarian crisis in a country that has struggled with decades of war, poverty, and deprivation.
The WFP has pointed out that the reduction in international aid has been a major obstacle in addressing the needs of the population. Millions of Afghan citizens, especially children, are at risk due to insufficient food resources.
Following the fall of the previous Afghan government and the rise of the Taliban, international aid to Afghanistan has drastically decreased. Alongside economic issues, drought, rising unemployment, and limited access to healthcare services, the nutrition situation, particularly among children, has reached a critical level.
The WFP has repeatedly warned that without adequate funding, it will not be able to assist all those in need in Afghanistan. The organization has previously stated that if the budget shortfall persists, it will have to scale back its operations, potentially exacerbating the humanitarian disaster in the country.
The international community’s support is crucial in addressing the severe food crisis in Afghanistan. If funding remains insufficient, millions of children and families will continue to face unimaginable hardships, deepening the existing humanitarian crisis.
