1,000 Afghan migrants deported from Pakistan
The ongoing process of deporting Afghan migrants from Pakistan has been highlighted by the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation of Afghanistan. The Ministry reported the return of approximately one thousand Afghan migrants from Pakistan.
On Wednesday, the Ministry stated on social media platform X that around one thousand Afghan migrants returned to Afghanistan after being deported from Pakistan.
The Ministry of Refugees added that these migrants were deported by the Interim government of Pakistan and returned to Afghanistan through the Torkham and Spin Boldak borders in Kandahar province.
A day earlier, the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation announced that about 813 Afghan migrants entered the country through the Torkham border in Nangarhar province after being deported.
This comes at a time when newly returned migrants from neighboring countries, especially Pakistan and Iran, are facing significant challenges. The arrival of the winter season has compounded these difficulties following their forced deportation.
Many of these migrants are struggling with the harsh realities of returning to Afghanistan during the winter. The situation is particularly challenging given the sudden nature of their deportation and the cold weather.
The Ministry’s reports highlight the ongoing challenges faced by Afghan migrants. The issue of forced repatriation during the winter months has brought significant hardships for these individuals and their families.
