Taliban Condemns Pakistan's Plan to Evict Afghan Refugees

The Taliban has criticized Pakistan's plan to evict hundreds of thousands of Afghan refugees and migrants, calling it "unacceptable" and denying that Afghan citizens are responsible for Pakistan's security problems. Pakistan's caretaker government has set a November 1 deadline for 1.73 million Afghans living in the country without legal status to leave or face expulsion. Amnesty International has urged Pakistan to continue supporting Afghan refugees and called on the UNHCR to expedite registration and reviews of applications. Tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan have escalated, with border clashes and accusations of cross-border attacks.
