In a significant move, Pakistan has issued an ultimatum to nearly 1.73 million undocumented immigrants, primarily Afghan nationals, residing within its borders. These migrants have been given until November 1 to leave the country voluntarily, or they will face the possibility of deportation.
This decision comes as part of Pakistan’s efforts to regulate its migrant population and enhance border security. Over the years, a substantial number of Afghans have sought refuge in Pakistan due to ongoing conflict and instability in Afghanistan.
Pakistan’s move is expected to have implications for regional dynamics, particularly in light of the recent developments in neighboring Afghanistan. It underscores the importance of addressing migration issues and implementing effective immigration policies to manage the movement of people across borders.
The November 1 deadline is now a crucial date to watch, as it will determine the fate of these Afghan migrants in Pakistan.
