Officially, the international organisation Seefar is listed as the sender of the project, which aims to attract Afghans with the promise of a fresh start in the Taliban-ruled country.
However, the project – named "Zindagi Taza" – is funded entirely by the Swedish government and has been running since 2025.
The goal was to reach 2,000 Afghans currently residing in Sweden and persuade 200 of them to return home. With only two months left before the project wraps up, no one has signed up, reports Aftonbladet.
"I think we should wait until the project ends before we evaluate it," Migration Minister Johan Forssell told Aftonbladet.
The campaign is targeted at Afghan nationals who can't be deported. According to Forssell, the objective is to address the issue of individuals going underground to evade authorities.
