Will Afghanistan Create Another Migrant Crisis for Europe?

LONDON - Six years ago, more than 1.2 million migrants from many parts of the world fled to Europe, traveling hundreds or thousands of kilometers to seek a new life in a crisis that has left deep political scars.  

Is the continent about to experience another refugee crisis, as millions of Afghans try to escape the Taliban?  Several European leaders have voiced such fears in recent days. In a televised address on August 16, French President Emmanuel Macron said "dealing with those fleeing the Taliban would need an organized and fair international effort."   "Europe alone cannot assume the consequences of the current situation," he added.
