Mexico has accepted yet another group of refugees from Afghanistan which include 124 journalists and their families.
They landed in Mexico City’s international airport on Wednesday morning where Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard welcomed them in person.
Their arrival follows the successful evacuation of an Afghan girls’ robotics team to the country on Tuesday.
Mexico has taken in migrants and refugees from Central America but some experts have voiced concern about its ability to give them proper care.

That’s right, may Almighty Jesus Christ bless us
If Mexico is capable to absorb people then why is people from Mexico are leaving to US?
Thank you Mexico. A great country, amazing people and you even have your own issues to deal with but still want to help others. You are really stepping up and showing the world there is hope! I am from Ireland and many Irish people fled here to make their home in Mexico during the Great Famine and while being at war with Britain over the centuries.
P.S.. you got the best food, so I know the reason everyone wants to go there 😉
let’s not forget that you are truly helping & giving, when it hurts your own situation, otherwise is just pretentious pity and choosing where to throw your scraps.
Now they will also take part in Mexican drugs mafia congratulations 🎉
Good luck for Afghans, but sorry to say there is not much difference in socioeconomic situation between Afghanistan and Mexico.
is a lot diferenc here in mexico the girls going to be free to do wheterver they want have a boyfriend go to school go anywhere is a lot diference
Bodoh puak ni rakyat Mexico pun ramai yg imgran ke amerika
I’m sorry but these Afghans did not not the jackpot. Nothing against Mexicans as people, but the country is not in good shape. Mexico is kind and generous to accept refugees. I hope they find peace and prosperity.
afghan did not hit the jackpot?? they did, its anywhere but afghanistan. which country is not in good shape??? everyone economically and potically is struggling
Very kind of Mexico to help
The Ummahs agree to receive not a single refugee but chose to send the Afghans to other homelands.
Mexicans wants to Escape To USA whilst Afghanistan wants To Escape To Mexico. And USA wants to Escape to Europe whilst Europeans wants to Escape to Dubai,UAE whilst The UAE wants to Escape Ti Canada & The List goes on & on…Moral of The Story:Everybody wants to Escape To anywhere They Deemed Comfortable Living with Their Choice of Lifestyle 😁
mexicans are not escaping to USA>
these people ran away from one group of people famous for shooting and beheading to another country famous for doing same things, only this time it’s not taliban, it’s cartel.
Viva Mexico 😃😇😍 GOD BLESS U🙂
These people work with CIA
Who destroy 20 years Afghanistan ???
Fun fact : Mexico wants cheap labours for minimal jobs.
Sad fact: Many Mexicans cross their northern border illegally to the USA to work in the fields at jobs with pay no one else would take.
(Would you kindly delete this comment, and come up with something more compassionate, brother)
They look Hispanic themselves. They can blend in
@Nick Gurr well you can always learn the language, I mean English is not my native language and I have to make use of it because of my position
Lol how do you look hispanic? Mexicans can be white or brown
@Javier Aguirre In Mexico, you’re either white or brown, some are black too
@Ayan Ali yes, because of the Spaniards back in the colony days and there are a lot of people from Guadalajara and Sonora that are Whitexicans if you see my dad you will think he is a gringo because of his appearance
@Javier Aguirre yeah I know, plenty of Mexicans are white.
Mexico is finished!
Mexicans are fleeing mexico them self 😆🤦🏻♂️
mexicans are not fleeing from mexico, vast majority mexicans stay in mexico, ppl go to USA for money, and come back home double their currency value. thats not same with afghanistan is rule by taliban, not the same thing
I am surprised why not any Muslim country taking refugees?? Where is OIC??
Viva 🇲🇽 truly kind hearted people
Days later they will run away from cartels. Should have chose their destination carefully pathetic cowards Afghans
cartels are not going to chase down afghans, they are not that important
Welcome to Mexico,,,let us introduce you to a coyote to help you to America.
THANK YOU MEXICO
【Questions for USA】: ①How much money does USA spend on military build-up annually? ②How many overseas military bases does USA have on this planet? ③How many wars have been waged by USA on legitimate sovereign countries? ④How many people including USA people have been killed by USA soldiers? ⑤How many millions of refugees have been created by USA? ⑥How many allies have been betrayed by USA? ⑦How many USA homeless citizens and poor families? ⑧How much money has been spent by USA on improving the life of USA people? ⑨How much money has been spent to purchase USA MIC weapons for killing humans? ⑩How dare USA has the legitimacy to talk about the leadership of the world, freedom, democracy, justice and human rights?
Bravo Mexico!!
Great
Wondering, america is next door, and why america who created all this mess is not taking them.from Tokyo
Now they will face the Cartel.
Saludando a la gente de Mexico 🇲🇽
– de Palestinina 🇵🇸
Saludos desde México!
Palestina libre! 🇵🇸
Saludos desde México, from river to sea Palestine will be free inshallah 🇲🇽🕊️🇵🇸
They’ll fit in well there ?
God Bless Mexican people 👏🏻
Colombia, Peru and Argentina are also helping 😌
Many parts of Mexico are more dangerous than Afghanistan :)).
nooo, sinaloa is far more safer than afghanistan. i dont think u know whats going on in middle east. same with syrians who went to mexico
Seguramente has estado en Afganistan para hacer ese comentario, de lo contrario deja de hablar de una realidad que desconoces.
❤
🌻
Love Mexico’s feeling for humanity.
Yea? These are communists hosting the refugees…… would that change your mind?
Human dumping land
Mucho grasia maxico……
God bless Mexico 🇲🇽❤️🇦🇫
Mexico always does this. They can’t help their own people, but yet they are quick to welcome refugees. They are trying to hide the drug wars, Mexico’s xenophobia and islamphobia
Mexico is full of corruption ,gang rape ,poverty ,😄😄😄😄
they rather go to mexico than deal with taliban rule. thats deep the issue is in that country… i think u would do the same
no mames! 👎
Wonderful gesture👏👏👏👏
Soon they will be fighting for their rights to practice their extreme religion. They can even try to enforce it on the citizens 😅
They have plenty of room now that all of them came to America.
Kudos to Mexico for helping out the Afghan refugees. 🇦🇫🇲🇽🙌
How come I only see muslim refugees and not christian refugees 😐
the country is literally 99.7% Muslim 🤨
Are you SpEd?
Of course our southern states would welcome even more refugees from other parts of the world even though we can barely take care of our own citizens yaaaay. Well I speak for everyone in the northern states when I say this, “Stay down there”.
No wey, creo que no hablas por todos
How is Mexico any better than Afghanistan? 😂. Mexicans are running to cross the US boarders 😂
If youre genuinely asking that question you’re living in a bubble
sorry but vast majority are not running to USA, mexicans coming to the USA has declined since 2000, in 2015.. more americans come to mexico than mexicans coming to the USA.
difference is mexicans coming to the USA for money, these people are fleeing from taliban period. u cannot compare situtation of mexico to afghanistan. i assume u are american
They wants European American Nationality name of Afghanistan
Va a estar cañón con la comida porque no comen puerco
Hay muchos lugares donde pueden conseguir comida halal y kosher, la gastronomía es tan extensa que no van a tener problemas con eso.
But Mexico is full of cartels and corruption.
😐
they rather live among them than taliban. thats telling
This right here is what is called doing the right thing, Mexico had no invested interests in Afghanistan and they are providing safety for hundreds.
Then they will cross the US Mexico border to conduct suicide attacks on USA soil in American cities.
The terrorists are not the refugees
If you’re racist just say it
Officially México is El Valedor of the world
Yeah but be safe Mexico. Hope this good manners never coz havoc in your country.
Welcome to Mexico. We wish them well.
Mexico??!! What is wrong with my people? 🤦♂️
Why the wealthy Arab nations are not accepting them ? Talk about same faith, brotherhood etc? where is the brotherhood?
For a peaceful world 🌎 India must use nuclear weapons before its too late hay India never let paxitan to destroy your country Afghanistan was empty hands
Way to go Mexico. Now fix your government so that they your citizens have a chance in life
government of mexico is run by their overlords, the USA
Shame to the superpower next door who started everything
I wish them a life of peace and comfort.
Hmm seems Mexico might become taliban
A long long time ago Mexico took in refugees from Lebanon. Some of the children of these refugees went on to do big big things i.e. Carlos slim, salma hayek, Jaime camil, we can go on and on, good job Mexico,
Very soon….welcome to America
Convert them to Christianity
Ummm maybe if your a journalist don’t go to Mexico, pretty bad place for journalists
They are gonna wish they would have stayed in Afghanistan when they run into the drug cartels who are beheading, torturing, and killing them just like the Taliban. They are not gonna want to be in Mexico. The citizens of Mexico don’t even want to be there.
From one Afghanistan to another.
Wat are these people going to do in mex
Traitors always traitors
Migrations of the decades again.The world is in turmoils.The greatest melting pot is stirred again.
It’s so great that the Mexican govt. showed their kindness to the Afghan refugees, India need to learn so much more, l think india will never welcome Muslim refugees
I am from Afghanistan and I have Mexican friend they are very good people and friendly.
Thank you Mexico City
Very good
God bless Mexico
i request all refugee not to create problem later like other Islamic country refugees did in European country
They won’t be there for long. They’ll be headed up north across the border soon
mexico is not safe even afghanistan is safer then it.
Nice! I am arab-mexican and this is welcoming
Tell the Mexicans not to worry. These Afghanis will find their way to the border to come to the US. Disaster joe will help them.
Future showdown: Afghan Refugee gangs vs Mexican Drug gangs
Thank you Mexico
