Summary
Afghans fleeing Taliban rule are now returning to Afghanistan—not because conditions there have improved, but because Iran’s collapsing economy has left them destitute. With inflation soaring nearly 90% and basic goods unaffordable, many—including women and girls—are abandoning Iran’s once-promising refuge for survival back home, even facing Taliban restrictions on education and work. Once hopeful about building new lives, thousands now find themselves unemployed and broke, with over two million having left Iran in the past two years. Some are rebuilding from scratch, like a family restarting a cheese business, while others grapple with impossible choices between poverty and oppression.
