Pakistan forces Afghan migrants to leave, community fears losing homes-business

Pakistan has announced that all undocumented migrants must depart the country by November 1 as part of a harsh crackdown on Afghan refugees. The future of an estimated 1.7 million Afghans living in Pakistan is now uncertain and filled with fear as a result of this decision.

Many Afghans who have long resided in Pakistan are being forced to leave, taking with them their homes, businesses, savings, and other possessions.

This drastic measure is justified by security concerns, according to the Pakistani government. Sarfraz Bugti, the acting interior minister, claims that Afghan nationals have been involved in a significant number of violent attacks within the country.

The government claims that the Afghan Taliban gives these militants safe haven, and it has connected these security risks to Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

Pakistan has made attempts to drive out Afghan refugees before.

Thousands have returned to Afghanistan as a result of previous campaigns, but the current situation appears to be more dire, with even those in possession of valid documents facing deportation after December 31, 2023.

The Afghan community has suffered greatly as a result. Many have spent decades building their lives and businesses are now facing the bleak possibility of losing everything.
