Taliban calls for more time for Afghans to leave Pakistan
Wednesday, 1 November 2023 Taliban authorities thanked Pakistan and other countries that have hosted millions of Afghans who fled their country during decades of conflict, but "asked them to not forcibly deport Afghans with little notice but to give them time to prepare". The Pakistani government has given 1.7 million Afghans it says are living illegally in the country until November 1 to leave voluntarily or be forcibly removed. More than 130,000 people have left Pakistan since the order was given at the start of October, according to border officials in the towns of Torkham and Chaman.
As Pakistan's deadline for deporting undocumented migrants draws near, Afghan refugees there are worried about their future.
