Pakistan: Afghan migrants given warning to leave Balochistan in one day

Authorities in Balochistan province have issued a warning for Afghan migrants to leave villages by Tuesday or face expulsion, Khaama Press reported,

Afghan migrants with Afghan citizenship cards and registration cards are subject to this warning, the news agency added.

Earlier, the Pakistani government announced that Afghan migrants with Afghan Citizen Cards (ACC) and Proof of Registration (PoR) cards would not be expelled from Pakistan, but now provincial authorities in Balochistan say even legal migrants will be expelled.

Since November, over 700,000 Afghan migrants have been deported from Pakistan, worsening the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. The deported face numerous challenges, including shortages of food, shelter, and employment opportunities.
