Taliban Official Calls for Accelerating Deportation of Afghan Migrants from Pakistan
ISLAMABAD — A Taliban official has urged Pakistan to accelerate the deportation of Afghan migrants, citing unsuitable conditions in some migrant camps.
The Taliban embassy in Islamabad released a video showing representatives, including official Haqyar, visiting the camps. Haqyar stated that conditions for women and children in certain camps are unsuitable due to overcrowding triggered by Pakistan's deportation deadlines. He said the overcrowding has slowed the deportation process, forcing families to wait in tents during bad weather, while conditions in other camps remain acceptable.
Pakistan has significantly increased the pace of deporting undocumented Afghan migrants following a deterioration in relations with the Taliban amid ongoing conflicts. Authorities in Pakistan are now expelling thousands of Afghans daily.
The Taliban has previously accused Pakistan of using Afghan migrants as a tool for political pressure.
