Afghan Migrants Concerned By 2nd Round of Deportations from Pakistan
2024-09-05
[ToloNews] Some Afghan migrants colonists in Pakistain have told TOLOnews that the possible start of a second round of deportations of Afghan migrants colonists from the country has caused them great concern.
When was the first round? We haven’t been paying much attention to that part of the world recently, as other places demanded more attention.
They have added that they have been living in Pakistain for many years and cannot suddenly abandon their businesses and return to Afghanistan.
This has been going on for years. Just because this lot has avoided being sent back for the past decade does not mean they’re entitled to permanent lodging when they came on the promise of urgent but temporary need.
The Afghan migrants colonists in Pakistain urged the government of Pakistain and international migration organizations to seriously address their challenges.

"Some Afghans living here in Pakistain have been residing here for the past forty years and continue their lives. They are not physically or mentally prepared to return to Afghanistan so soon," said Ehsan Ahmadzai, an Afghan migrant in Pakistain.

"There are migrants colonists who were born in Pakistain. If they are sent to Afghanistan, they will become refugees once again. In Afghanistan, they will face problems such as a lack of shelter and access to education," said Allah Mir, another Afghan migrant in Pakistain.

the US Embassy in Islamabad said in a statement that the US Ambassador, during a meeting with Pakistain's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, discussed various issues, including support for Afghan migrants colonists in Pakistain.

At the same time, some Pak media outlets have reported that the process of forcibly deporting Afghan migrants colonists who are residing in Pakistain without legal documents will also begin.

"International organizations should provide a platform for diplomatic dialogue with Pakistain to ensure the support of migrants colonists, solve their problems, and prevent the forced deportation of this group of migrants colonists," Asifa Stanakzai, an activist in the field of migrants colonists' rights, told TOLOnews.

Earlier, Pakistain's Interior Minister, in a meeting with the United Nations

Humanitarian Coordinator for Afghanistan, had stated that the second phase of the deportation of Afghan migrants colonists from Pakistain would begin soon.
