UK plans Kabul 'reintegration centre' for boys

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk/10261456.stm

The UK Border Agency is planning on building a “reintegration centre” in Kabul, Afghanistan. They would like to help boys and adults with their resettlement. Up till now, the UK has had a policy for not returning boys to Afghanistan without any family members, but building a “reintegration centre” could be a way to change this policy.The UK would assist them with education, training and starting a business, as well as helping them finding a place to live. The costs for this “reintegration centre” will be £4 million. The Refugee Council is uncertain if the UK should send children back without family members to a country that is not safe.

My opinion:
I have to say that I like the UK Border Agency's plan of building a “reintegration cenre”. It is good that they are not just sending them back without giving them any support with rebuilding their lives. I don’t know how big the number of people is living in the UK that are originally from Afghanistan, but in my opinion it is good to give them an opportunity to return home. I also understand the concern from the Refugee Council. The safety of the people has the priority in my opinion. They need to find out how safe it is for those boys to return to their country without any family members.
