ISLAMABAD: (Apr 13) More than 860,000 Afghans have left Pakistan since September 2023, with more than half a million entering Afghanistan through border crossings in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, according to a media report.
Pakistan launched the second phase to repatriate the Afghan refugees on April 1 after the deadline ended for the voluntary return of the Afghan Citizen Cards (ACC).
Under the phase-wise repatriation of Afghans living in the country, the first phase was started in 2023, when the government announced to send back the Afghans residing illegally in Pakistan.
