In a recent update, it has been reported that a staggering 900 Afghan refugees have made the journey back to their homeland from Pakistan within the past two days. This information was disclosed by the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation in Kabul. The statement, as reported by the Xinhua news agency, revealed that the refugees entered Afghanistan through the Torkham and Spin Boldak border crossing points.
Furthermore, the Ministry's statement also stated that the Afghan caretaker government has made sure to provide necessary facilities to the returning families. This includes temporary shelters and other essential aid packages which have been made available at the crossing points. This gesture from the government aims to make the transition back to their home country as smooth as possible for the refugees.
According to the ministry's report, this is not the first wave of returnees. In fact, over the past year, from March 21, 2023, to March 19, 2024, more than 1.5 million Afghan refugees have made their way back to Afghanistan from neighbouring Pakistan and Iran. This shows a significant number of people who have chosen to return to their war-torn country despite the ongoing conflict.
The caretaker government has been urging Afghan migrants living abroad to come back and contribute to the rebuilding of their nation. This call to action highlights the government's efforts to encourage its citizens to be a part of the reconstruction and development of their homeland. As more and more refugees make the decision to return, it is hoped that this will bring positive change and progress to Afghanistan.
