RASC News Agency: In a recent announcement by the Ministry of Refugees and Returnees of the Taliban, it was revealed that more than six thousand Afghanistani refugees have repatriated from Pakistan to their homeland. These refugees were forcibly deported but managed to make their way back to Afghanistan. According to the ministry, a total of 6,450 Afghanistani immigrants entered the country through the Torkham crossing on October 19 and 20. The news was disseminated through a newsletter published by the Ministry of Refugees and Returnees of the Taliban on Saturday, October 21.
The newsletter further disclosed that 1,062 families have returned to Afghanistan and have since been referred to the International Organization for Migration for additional assistance. The Taliban’s Ministry of Migrants and Returnees highlighted this information in their publication.
Furthermore, the Pakistani government recently imposed a deadline for undocumented immigrants residing within their borders, mandating that these individuals vacate the premises by November 1st. Failure to comply with this directive will result in deportation.
It is important to note that the Pakistani government has previously apprehended and expelled numerous undocumented Afghanistani immigrants through independent operations conducted across various cities in Pakistan.
The rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan has significantly impacted neighboring countries, particularly Iran and Pakistan, as they have experienced a substantial influx of Afghanistani immigrants. Many of these individuals have fled Afghanistan out of fear of the Taliban’s influence.
However, it is crucial to acknowledge that Pakistan’s involvement in this matter has exposed these migrants to grave dangers from the aforementioned group. Consequently, the decision made by the Pakistani government has garnered substantial reactions from both national and international entities, including legal and human rights organizations.
