Pakistan Sets Deadline for Deportation of 1.7 Million Undocumented Afghans

Pakistan has ordered nearly 1.73 million undocumented immigrants, mostly Afghan nationals, to leave the country voluntarily by November 1 or face deportation. The move comes amid claims by Islamabad that Afghan nationals were involved in 14 out of 24 suicide bombings in the country this year. The announcement has strained relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan, with the Afghan embassy in Islamabad calling it "harassment." It remains unclear how Pakistani authorities will ensure the departure of undocumented immigrants or locate them for expulsion.
