The European Union is set to hold technical discussions with representatives of the Taliban in Brussels regarding the deportation of Afghan refugees. These talks are scheduled to occur before the summer of 2026.

This initiative has sparked significant concern over the potential normalization of the Taliban's regime, which many view as problematic given the group's history and governance.

Additionally, the legal and human rights implications of such deportations are under scrutiny, raising questions about the EU's approach to refugee protection and international norms.
