Mexico accepted its first group of refugees from Afghanistan on Tuesday, including one man and five members of Afghanistan's prize-winning girls' robotics team. The group was welcomed by Foreign Relations Secretary Marcelo Ebrard as they arrived in Mexico City. "We might be very far away of what is happening in Afghanistan, but the human cause, the protection of the values and the causes that identify us Mexicans, have made us commit so they can be in Mexico," he said. The robotics team participated in the first World Robot Olympiad in the U.S., in 2017. Recently, they had been on a a life-saving mission to build a ventilator from used car parts and help their war-stricken country battle the coronavirus pandemic. When the Taliban returned to power, they fled the country. Ebrard said Mexico would grant them "whatever legal status they consider best." That could include giving them asylum or refugee status. One member of the group thanked Mexico, saying the country had saved their lives.
