Pakistan Extends Stay For Afghan Refugees

Afghan refugees in Pakistan can remain in the country until the end of the year.

The decision by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif comes after an earlier deadline of June 30 for Afghan refugees to leave the country was set to expire.

Pakistan is currently hosting at least 1.5 million Afghan refugees.

In a statement late on June 29, the government said Sharif had ordered 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 refugee camps.

The UN high commissioner for refugees, Filippo Grandi, visited Pakistan this week. He announced that an assistance package for Afghan refugees who decide to return home will double from $200 to $400.

Grandi on June 29 praised Pakistan for generously hosting Afghan refugees.

    Oh man !
    Is that your country ?

    “NO” !

    That means you are sticking with your master’s unilateral plan:

    That criminal plan of DURAND line has never been sanctioned by any authorized representation of the local folks in the region but criminal invader’s- the whole affaires at was staged and all along based on forgery

    A SLAVE COULD NEVER ENFORCE AN ILLEGAL PARTITION ON HIS MASTER’S BEHALF- that is what you are trying to do.

    ACT LIKE A MAN !

    Sorry; now, don’t jump up and down boy- you could never remove folks from the land of their ancestors- THE LOCAL FOLKS WILL ALWAYS MOVE BACK AND FORTH IN THEIR LAND AS THEY WISH- it is not like an Indian Reservasion that existed one hundred years ago in the US.

    Come on !
    You are a fool.
