Taliban Appeals to Private Sector for Aid Following Mass Deportation of Afghan Refugees Pakistan

As Pakistan forces out undocumented Afghan refugees causing humanitarian crisis, the Taliban steps up to aid returnees, seeking assistance from Afghanistan's private sectors; 250,000 Afghans have made the desperate journey back home as fears of detention and harsh treatment escalate amidst Pakistan's increasing anti-migrant crackdown.

Following Pakistan's mass deportation, the Taliban appeals to Afghanistan's private sector to assist returning refugees who face depleting opportunities and a major humanitarian crisis.
Overwhelming numbers of returning Afghans are settling in camps near the Torkham Pakistan-Afghanistan border, just hours before Pakistan's government deadline for those without legal documentation to leave or face deportation.
Exhausted and frightened Afghan refugees fear heightened detention and harsh treatment amidst Pakistan's ever-increasing anti-migrant crackdown; many have made the desperate journey back home before the October 31 deadline.
The Taliban has established a commission to ease the return of refugees, providing essential services including temporary shelter, food, health care, and transportation to their final destinations.
Pakistan's stringent anti-migrant policy has strained relations with the Taliban, who have condemned Pakistan's government for its one-sided actions and warned it to 'face the consequences' of such actions.
