In a heartening display of cooperation, Pakistan and Afghanistan are making strides in bringing illegal Afghan migrants back to their homeland. The numbers speak volumes: over half a million individuals have voluntarily returned as of March 24, 2024, marking a turning point in migration efforts.
In just 12 days, from March 12 to March 24, a whopping 7,186 people – including men, women, and children – have chosen to make the journey back to Afghanistan. This isn’t just about numbers; it’s about families making a collective decision to return to their roots.
And it’s not just people; it’s families. Nearly 300 families, traveling in a convoy of 284 vehicles, are part of this organized effort. This coordinated return highlights the commitment of both countries to manage migration responsibly and ensure the safe return of Afghan nationals.
It’s a story of hope, cooperation, and the power of collective action. And it’s happening right now, on our doorstep. Stay tuned for more updates on this remarkable journey home.
