On September 11, 269 families were repatriated to Afghanistan from Iran and Pakistan, as reported by the Taliban-run Bakhtar News Agency. The families crossed into Afghanistan through various border points.
The families entered Afghanistan via the Nangarhar, Kandahar, Nimroz, and Herat provinces. Specifically, 18 families returned through the Torkham crossing, 39 through the Spin Boldak border, 89 through Pul-e-Abrisham, and 123 through Islam Qala.
Some of the repatriated families from Pakistan reported that local police had confiscated their belongings before their deportation, leaving them with little upon their return to Afghanistan.
Since the Taliban regained control in August 2021, over 600,000 Afghans have fled to Pakistan, according to estimates from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Iranian officials have introduced new measures to manage Afghan refugees. Hassan Kazemi Qomi, Iran’s special representative for Afghanistan, and Mojtaba Abdollahi, the governor of Alborz province, have reported significant deportations of Afghan migrants from Iran.
In the past year, over 50,000 Afghan migrants were expelled through Alborz province, with 27,915 deported in the last five months alone. Iran plans to complete the deportation of undocumented Afghan migrants by March 20, 2025.
The ongoing repatriation of Afghan families from Iran and Pakistan highlights the significant challenges faced by Afghan refugees and the complex international dynamics surrounding their displacement.
As both Iran and Pakistan continue their deportation efforts, the situation remains precarious for those without legal status. This is compounded by the dire humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, which exacerbates the current situation due to a lack of facilities and resources.
