Bangladesh has rejected the U.S. government request to shelter asylum seekers from Afghanistan amidst escalating humanitarian crisis the Taliban take-over caused.

“We are already in trouble, hosting 1.1 million refugees from Myanmar,’’ he said August 16.
The ministry urged all stakeholders in Afghanistan to maintain peace, calm and ensure safety and security of all, including foreign nationals.
