The Taliban’s High Commission for Migrants says Pakistan expelled 4,237 Afghan migrants on Sunday as deportations of Afghans from neighboring countries continue to intensify.
According to the commission, the migrants returned to Afghanistan through the Torkham and Spin Boldak border crossings.
The commission also reported that another 355 Afghan migrants were deported from Iran on the same day through the Islam Qala and Silk Bridge crossings.
Pakistan has accelerated the deportation process in recent months amid rising tensions with the Taliban administration, forcing large numbers of Afghan migrants to leave the country daily.
International organizations have repeatedly warned that Afghanistan lacks the economic capacity, infrastructure, and humanitarian resources needed to absorb and reintegrate large numbers of returnees under current conditions.
Aid agencies have also warned that the forced return of vulnerable groups — including women, journalists, former military personnel, and employees of the previous Afghan government — could expose them to serious humanitarian and security risks under Taliban rule.
At the same time, many Afghan refugees living in Pakistan say growing deportations have left them facing fear, uncertainty, and an unclear future.
Some migrants warn that returning to Afghanistan could place their lives in danger.
The deportation of Afghan migrants from Pakistan and Iran has become one of the most significant humanitarian crises linked to Afghanistan in recent months.
