cALBAWABA - More than 200,000 Afghans have come out of Pakistan since the Islamabad government renewed a deportation plan last April,
Pakistan's Interior Ministry revealed to AFP.
The ministry detailed that over 135,000 people were sent out of Pakistan in April, while in May, about 67,000 Aghans left, in addition to over 3,000 others who were sent back in the first two days of June, the ministry added.
Millions of Afghans came into Pakistan during the past several decades, as they escaped war. However, when the Taliban retook power in 2021, following the withdrawal of American troops, hundreds of thousands returned to Kabul.
Despite that, over 1 million Afghans have left Islamabad since the repatriation program was launched in 2023, the ministry further noted.
