 The country has been in a state of political unrest ever since.Despite the flow of immigrants and refugees remaining fairly stable over the new millennium period, the number of Afghans coming to the UK since the mid-2000s has completely eclipsed the recorded number of Afghans in the 2001 census, as more and more are fleeing the threat of violence and even death in their homeland during the War in Afghanistan.In 2003, the British government announced that they would begin enforced repatriation of failed asylum-seekers in April.
