Pakistan Extends Stay For Afghan Refugees By Three Months

Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has extended the stay for Afghan refugees in the country until March 2017, pushing back the previous deadline by three months.

Sharif approved this decision at a September 9 cabinet meeting.

A government statement quoted Sharif as saying that Afghan refugees were “guests” of Pakistan and that measures will be taken to ensure their safety.

The announcement comes as Afghan refugees accuse Pakistani authorities of harassment before the expiration of the previous December 31 deadline.

Pakistan is hosting at least 1.5 million refugees. An additional 1 million unregistered Afghans have been staying in the country since the 1980s, when they fled the violence at home.

In a June statement, the Pakistani government said Sharif had ordered the authorities to work with the UN refugee agency and the Afghan government to gradually relocate the refugee camps from Pakistan to Afghanistan.

Islamabad says a number of militants are hiding in the camps.

    The Pakistanis leaderships and their “CRAZY” English master
    have had always immensely profited from the created turmoils in Afghanistan- all along for many decades now.

    If they are not cowards, thely would readily come to their senses and realize the profound implications of harassing the refugees in an wicked order to kick them out.

    The people of Afghanistan have given great sacrifices and worked extrrmly hard to keep integrity and honor of that region of Pakistsn and, in fact, all Muslims of Sub-Continent for hundreds of years.

    It definately come across as an act of cowardice that ein’t makes any sense at all to a man of intelligence honesty and general integrity.

    WHERE IS
    (“KHAR”) IMRAN KHAN hiding
    IN ALL OF THIS MESS.

    When his master, (crazy Englishman), order him to run- he would then immediately cross the mountain and valley in a wild rush in chase, all under the fake name of Pathan.

    All lies and deceptions- no real substance in his goofy character.
