On November 18, the first export flight was made on the Minsk- Erbil - Baghdad route with more than 400 migrants on board. On November 26, the press secretary of the Iraqi Foreign Ministry, Ahmed al-Sahhaf, said that on November 27, the authorities planned a fifth evacuation flight, and the total number of Iraqis who returned to their homeland should be about 1,9 thousand people.

The migration crisis on the borders of Belarus with Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, where refugees have flocked since the beginning of the year, sharply escalated on November 8. Several thousand people approached the Polish border from the Belarusian side, some of them tried to enter the territory of Poland by breaking the barbed wire fence. Later, about two thousand people were placed in a transport and logistics center in Bruzgah near the border with Poland, where conditions for temporary stay were created. According to the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, there are from two to three thousand refugees from the Middle East on the territory of the republic, in addition to those housed in this camp.
