The Islamabad government has recently implemented measures to expedite the expulsion of Afghan refugees. These actions follow a recent shift in policy aimed at reducing the number of individuals residing in designated refugee villages. Authorities are focusing on closing these areas, prompting a significant increase in the number of Afghans seeking asylum in neighboring Pakistan. The government’s strategy is predicated on concerns regarding security and stability, citing heightened tensions with the Taliban. Refugees are being directed toward other regions within Pakistan, with logistical challenges anticipated as the process continues.
