RASC News Agency: In the wake of the expulsion of Afghanistani immigrants from various countries, especially Iran and Pakistan, the Ministry of Migrants and Returnees has announced that over four thousand Afghanistani migrants have recently been expelled from Iran and Pakistan and returned to Afghanistan. On Monday, November 20th, the ministry, through a message on social media platform X, stated that two thousand and thirty-six Afghanistani migrants residing in Pakistan have been returned to Afghanistan via the Spin Boldak border in Kandahar province as of November 19th.
According to the border authorities in Spin Boldak, this includes five hundred and thirty-seven families, consisting of two thousand and thirty-six individuals, including six detainees who were forcibly expelled and returned to the country after their release from Pakistani prisons. The ministry clarified that this recent influx of returning migrants has been registered with the Migrants Directorate for assistance purposes, with the relevant information shared with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the World Food Organization, the International Organization for Migration, and the Norwegian Refugee Council.
