Pakistan Reboots Deportation Drive: Afghan Exodus Looms

Pakistan’s Interior Ministry announced on August 2, 2025, the resumption of deportations targeting illegal foreign nationals. This includes a significant number of Afghan citizens.

The decision was reported by ARY News, citing official sources within the ministry. The scale of the impending deportations remains unclear.

This move comes amidst heightened tensions along the Pak-Afghan border and could exacerbate the already precarious humanitarian situation in Afghanistan.

The potential impact on regional stability and the welfare of deported Afghans is a serious concern requiring immediate attention from international bodies. The long-term consequences for Pakistan’s own internal security also warrant careful consideration.
