Pakistan Expelled Over 15,000 Afghanistani Refugees

DID Press: Afghanistani Refugees Commission reported that Pakistan forcibly deported more than 15,000 Afghanistani refugees on Monday through three border crossings.

According to Al Jazeera, this action comes amid sharply deteriorating relations between the two countries following recent border clashes.

All land routes between Afghanistan and Pakistan remain closed, and efforts to achieve a ceasefire through negotiations in Doha and Istanbul have so far yielded no results.

The next round of Afghanistan-Pakistan talks is scheduled for November 6 in Istanbul, Turkey.
