Small Boat Migrant Takes Eight-Week Holiday Back to Afghanistan
An Afghan granted asylum after arriving in the UK on a small boat took an eight-week holiday in the country from which he had fled. The Telegraph has the story.
The Home Office is investigating the migrant’s alleged holiday exploits which he revealed on social media posts from Afghanistan before he flew back to the UK via Dubai.
Officials said his refugee status in Britain was being reviewed and, if his holiday is proven, he could be hauled in to explain the trip. Government guidelines prohibit asylum seekers or those allowed to stay after making a claim from returning to their home country.
The man, whose case was first exposed by the Sun, uses the name DG Usama and filmed himself arriving in the UK in 2022. He later posted videos of his return plane trip from his home city, writing alongside the video: “Back to UK.”
He entered the UK on a packed dinghy in April 2022, one of 2,143 migrants who crossed that month. In a 16-second clip posted to his followers, he posed in a headscarf with a red life-jacket issued by a people smuggler. He panned the camera to show others waving and pointing as they crossed from Calais.
He wrote in the video’s caption: “Alhamdulillah [praise be to God] now I am in UK.”
The migrant then posted a second video, set to techno music, showing his craft being rescued by an RNLI boat.
Throughout 2023 the man posted videos from UK landmarks including Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf, Brighton beach and the white cliffs of Dover. It is unclear when he won asylum but it was between April 2022 and his apparent holiday in summer 2024.
He told UK officials he could not return to his Taliban-controlled homeland because it was too dangerous. In September 2024, Mr Usama posted a video from his apparent July-August break. A series of six videos shows a convoy of Lexus and Toyota cars on a road trip around Takhar, in north-west Afghanistan.

Deport him immediately, he can have no reasonable excuse
Yeah, wouldn’t hold my breath.
Their origin is “not safe” apparently. In my view, all ’emergency immigrants’ should be subject to stringent behaviour clausea, with immediate strikes invoking massive consequence. That they’re not already in place shows weakness.
The UK is a soft touch. I’d describe us as pussies being faced by tigers.
They are trolling us now with holidays back home.
He fled his homeland – so vacationed there….you know ‘The Science’.
“He told UK officials he could not return to his Taliban-controlled homeland because it was too dangerous.”
He’s a man, as they all are! Where the hell is the danger? It’s the poor women that are treated worse than dogs. It’s them that should be escaping and would have a rightful claim to asylum due to human rights abuses. What men’s rights are being abused in that particular hellscape?
So this blatant piss-taker returns back to the UK and didn’t think to bring a single female relative in order to rescue her? No Afghan men should be claiming asylum. I wonder how many Afghan women would happily renounce Islam if it meant freedom and living in the West.
Moral cowards to save their own skins and not help the heavily oppressed women escape!
A random thought just popped into my head when reading your post during another sleepless night. I don’t recall seeing anything, anywhere, about any of that lot – the usurpers invading ‘our’ homeland – declaring that some are actually transwomen and willingly donning the apparel and ‘no-rights’ of their oppressed real women.
I wonder why?
“Wot’s all this about then?”
“I wanted a holiday back home.”
“Oh, OK then.”
We all know he won’t be returned. And we all know why: because he and his ilk are here to replace us.
Nothing significant will happen as a result of his lies, actions and blatantly taunting us. Why? It will be said to be against his human rights to penalise him and his ilk to prevent him / them from visiting their homeland, to reacquaint with family, friends and alleged oppressors.
Corrective action might upset him, bless him! He couldn’t possibly be banished and deported back to his homeland, could he?
…and there will be similar instances and it will go on and on until we have a strong government and system in place.
So a lying, welfare-exploiting grifter. Remove his asylum status and send him back on a one-way ticket.
Friends of ours had a young (18/19) Ukrainian girls staying with her, she flew back ‘home’ several times and stayed with her grandmother!!! This country is seen as an easy cash cow with lax controls and plenty of free stuff, and Starmers 1000 in for 1 out deal with Macron once again solves nothing…
So-called Syrian refugees in Germany, many of which have absolutely no plans to return to Syria now that the Assad regime there is gone, also became famous for frequently going their on holiday. But – as opposed to the situation in the UK – the German authorities think there’s absolutely nothing wrong with this and they’re paying for these trips via the Bürgergeld, literally, citizen money, welfare system which is the German equivalent to universal credit. As opposed to universal credit and different from what the name may suggest, it’s available to anyone with a legal status in Germany, including the weird asylum-claim-reject-but-allowed-to-stay-nevertheless status (Duldung, literally toleration).
About 50% of the people who get Bürgergeld for a living in Germany are foreigners who have never worked and will never work, often foreigners with large families as they can get state payments seriously beyond the reach of ordinary working people, and a large part of the remaining 50% are recently naturalized foreigners who never worked and will never work.
There were reports some years ago that Somalians in Sweden were taking holidays back in their home countries. Then, as the situation in Sweden deteriorated, some of them were reported to be going back to Somalia permanently as it was safer there.
