RASC News Agency: The crackdown on undocumented immigrants by the Pakistani government and their subsequent mass expulsion to Afghanistan has raised concerns among analysts and experts. They fear that these immigrants, who are already living in dire conditions, may be driven towards extremist groups due to mistreatment during the deportation process. Over the past few weeks, approximately 250,000 Afghanistani asylum seekers have been forcibly expelled from Pakistan, further exacerbating the situation.
Zahid Hussain, a renowned Pakistani writer, has highlighted the importance of reaching an agreement between Islamabad and the Taliban in Kabul to mitigate any potential backlash. He has also raised a valid question regarding the satisfaction of those being forcibly returned to Afghanistan, suggesting that it is evident that they are not satisfied. Instead, they harbor deep resentment towards Pakistan, which has the potential to escalate hostility between the two nations for an extended period.
The expelled emigrants from Pakistan are currently living in dire circumstances. The mistreatment they experienced during the deportation process could push some of them towards extremist groups, further aggravating the already tense situation between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
It is imperative for the Pakistani government to address this issue and ensure that the deportation process is carried out in a humane manner to prevent any further escalation.
Since November 1st, Pakistan has initiated the process of expelling Afghanistani asylum seekers who lack proper documentation. However, these individuals are facing numerous challenges both during the expulsion process and upon their arrival in Afghanistan, especially under the rule of the Taliban. Considering these circumstances, international organizations have appealed to Pakistan to reconsider its decision to expel these undocumented asylum seekers.
