Afghani Refugees - a Possible Solution

So many refugees are fleeing Afghanistan. Most of the illegal refugees arriving in Australian waters are from Afghanistan.

It's obvious they prefer to live in a Western-style country under a Western-style government rather than stay in their present circumstances. Many countries are reeling with coping with the crisis.

I think this gives the UN humanitarian grounds to resolve that the Coalition countries could set-up an autonomous region within Afghanistan.

This proposed autonomous region would be under a Coalition government for at least the first three or four generations, until the culture, commerce, freedom and values of the Coalition countries (which the refugees evidently prefer over their current circumstances) has had time to become permanently established in the autonomous region. All Afghani refugees could then be allowed to immigrate into the autonomous region where they could enjoy the type of society they prefer over their current circumstances.

This could be viewed as an 'experiment'. The two 'Afghanistans' could co-exist side-by-side: one Afghanistan would remain under the present Muslim government, complete with the Taliban insurgencies and the Coalition peace-keeping forces; the other Afghanistan would become an autonomous polity based on the Western-style freedoms which the refugees are now demonstrating their preference for.

After time, we could observe which of the two 'Afghanistans' has prospered. Observe which 'Afghanistan' becomes the preferred place for Afghanis to live.

Eventually one 'Afghanistan' will desire to become like the more prosperous of the two 'Afghanistans'. So at that point both 'Afghanistans' can again reunite under one prosperous and free Afghanistan.

Problem solved! On the short-term the refugee crisis is addressed. Medium-term, the refugees are being redirected to an internationally acceptable location. And long-term the first truly free and prosperous nation in the region is established as a model to other Middle-Eastern countries. The flood of illegal refugees could stop and the Coalition forces could finally go home.

Historically the UN has allowed this kind of solution before - perhaps it's time it was proposed again.
