Elaborate how? That has simply been my experience. I certainly don't know enough Afghans to make a general judgment about Afghans or Afghanistan. But the couple I've helped? Yeah, they lied. A lot. Maybe it's something that in Afghan culture isn't that bad of a thing, I wouldn't know. But in Belgium it's certainly considered very annoying.
That's not enough to be considered a refugee.
A refugee is:
"A person who owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country; or who, not having a nationality and being outside the country of his former habitual residence as a result of such events, is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to return to it.."
Also, whilst there is subsidiary protection in Belgium (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsidiary_protection), some parts of Afghanistan are generally considered safe. Some asylum seekers will therefore either lie about being persecuted or lie about where in Afghanistan they're from.
But honestly I can deal with that type of lies. It's normal for people to want to improve their lives and I can understand them when they say they don't want to go back to Afghanistan. The problem is a lot of these Afghans seem to have had no education or decent upbringing whatsoever. Add to that the fact the vast majority are young men and I'm sure you realise in what way they might cause significant problems for other (female) refugees.

Lots of Afghans are in fact considered refugees, indeed Hazaras generally have a good chance of being acknowledged as a refugee. This doesn't mean all Afghans are refugees though.
Neither would I. But for another country to offer you money and shelter a certain threshold needs to be reached. Personally I think we should work to getting rid of borders altogether, but for now they exist and you need to meet certain criteria to be helped by other countries.
You're right. It's never a good thing when people start leaving your country.
As for the last part, they go through very extensive background checks in Belgium. As we get a lof of Afghans, there are also Afghan interpreters who help with the interrogation. People will be asked for very specific things about where they claim to be from too. It's not impossible to successfully fake being an Afghan, but it is unlikely.

the govt sending "refugees" against the owner will into his hotel.
- - - Updated - - -
Basically he doesn't want them but they're still bringing those people there.
Then they're asking for keys of the rooms and he says "i don't have them" and then the guy tells him we'll call firefighters to forcefully open them and dmg fees will be on you.
That's a private propriety not public in anyway.
Then you wonder why italians aren't happy with this sheet
