More Than 2.5M Afghan Immigrants in Pakistan: Afghan Consul
2023-07-16
[ToloNews] The Afghan consul in Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
, Abdul Jabar Takhari, said that more than 2.5 million Afghan immigrants colonists are living in Pakistain, of whom 300,000 lack legal documents.

Takhari said that they are trying to address the challenges of Afghan immigrants colonists in Pakistain.

"The total number of immigrants colonists who have legal documents with them in Pakistain is 2,106,658," the Afghan consul in Karachi said.

In the meantime, Pakistain's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
said that his country cannot host Afghan refugees from now on.

"The humanitarian and economic crisis in Afghanistan necessitates swift international assistance to prevent the prospect of a fresh influx of millions of desperate Afghans seeking refuge from hunger and starvation. Pakistain already burdened cannot shoulder any new influx of refugees; they will have to be hosted by other members of the international community," said Aamir Khan, Deputy Permanent Representative at Pakistain Mission to the UN.

Experts on migrant rights said that in order to stop these flows, the current Afghan government should provide its people a stable way of life.

"The Islamic Emirate should provide the basis for a stable life in order to prevent these migrations," said Asefa Stanikzi, a women’s rights activist.

According to figures provided previously by the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation (MoRR), there are about three million Afghans living in Pakistain, three million in Iran, and one million in other nations.
Khaama Press adds:
Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said on Saturday that allowing the settlement of Afghan refugees in Pakistan was a grave mistake in light of the rise in terrorist activities by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) using Afghanistan territory.

“The current situation has raised significant concerns about the facilities provided to the Afghan refugees,” he said while speaking on the Express-News show Center Stage’. “Pakistan has previously suffered the consequences of sheltering and hosting Afghan refugees.”

Asif said that we were aware of the existence of safe havens for terrorists within Afghanistan and their movements.

“The PTI government made serious errors during its tenure, committing crimes against the state. Over 300,000 people have been brought here, with 500,000 Afghan migrants already present,” he said, as Express-News cited.

“What have we done in the past four years? Now we must find a solution to the Afghan refugee issue in Pakistan,” he added.

Asif pointed out that a terrorist who committed a suicide attack in the past pretended to be a patient’s attendant. These incidents are now including Afghan citizens as well, which is unacceptable.
