they could have volunteered to learn the language. the government does not have to offer courses. just group buy courses from a private teacher.

but some people would even rather return to war, than learn to be fluent in a new language. at least there all speak their language.

some refuse to learn a new language and when faced with the decision that they need to be fluent in a new language, they just refuse and rather return. maybe because of pride, maybe because of wanting to not use that much effort. it is a significant effort to be fluent in a new language.

also if benefits would be denied if they don't learn to be fluent, that would affect the decision to leave as well.

in Finland, many refugees never learn Finnish, and just use English, even after decades. benefits are offered regardless for the rest of life, around 1000 euros per month, don't have to work. some Afghanistan women just mingle with other Afghans and speak only afghan languages and basically stay outside of normal Finnish society and just collect benefits from making children.

so I understand them voluntarily returning to Afghanistan. if my country Finland would say to refugees that they have to learn to be fluent in the new language or life will be difficult, most refugees would return, too.

of course, they might be that much in danger, if they return voluntarily. it just means changing their beliefs into more fundamental ones, that´s all.
