Pakistan's Controversial Expulsion of Afghan Migrants Sparks Outcry and Financial Burden

As tensions rise between Pakistan and Afghanistan, Pakistan has expelled tens of thousands of Afghan migrants, tearing families apart. Many of these migrants, who have lived in Pakistan for decades, are being forcibly returned to Afghanistan or voluntarily leaving to avoid arrest and expulsion. The crackdown has left husbands and wives, parents and children separated, unsure if they will ever see each other again. The deportation campaign has created a climate of fear among Afghan refugee communities, with police conducting raids and searches, and migrants being detained in overcrowded centers. Families are now faced with difficult choices, as they must decide whether to remain in Pakistan without their loved ones or risk going to Afghanistan, where the Taliban has regained power.
