RASC News Agency: According to officials from the Taliban’s Ministry of Refugees and Returnee Affairs, a staggering 56,872 migrants entered the country within just 12 hours. This influx of individuals followed the forced repatriation of undocumented Afghanistani migrants from Pakistan. The Ministry, in a message shared on the social media platform X, revealed that this significant number of migrants was expelled from Pakistan and returned to Afghanistan between midnight and the morning of Saturday, November 4th.
The Ministry of Refugees and Returnees of the Taliban group also disclosed that among the deported refugees, there were 7,109 households that entered the country through the Torkham crossing. These families, after being forcibly deported from Pakistan, underwent registration procedures and were subsequently referred to the office of the International Organization for Migration for further assistance. The Ministry emphasized the need to provide support and aid to these families in their transition back to their home country.
The figures provided by the Ministry of Refugees and Returnees of the Taliban group shed light on the magnitude of the situation. The influx of migrants, particularly the large number of families, highlights the challenges faced by both Afghanistan and Pakistan in managing the repatriation process.
It is crucial for international organizations and governments to collaborate in order to ensure the smooth reintegration of these individuals and families into their communities, providing them with the necessary support and resources to rebuild their lives.
After the deadline set by Pakistan for Afghanistani immigrants without documents to vacate, there has been a significant increase in the arrest and expulsion of these individuals by the Pakistani police. This has been observed despite calls from international migration organizations and authorities for Pakistan to reconsider the deportation of undocumented Afghanistani migrants. The Pakistani government, however, has chosen to intensify deportation efforts, citing security and economic concerns as the primary reasons behind their actions.
It is worth noting that the challenges faced by the expelled immigrants in Afghanistan should also be taken into account. The political, economic, and social conditions in the country, particularly under the control of the Taliban group, present numerous difficulties for these individuals.
