Qatar launched an $800,000 project in Gardez, Paktia, to house Afghan returnees. The plan includes 100 homes with essential services for families deported from Pakistan.
Pakistan’s deportation drive targeting undocumented Afghan nationals has intensified, with 777 Afghan citizens expelled via the Torkham border on Saturday April 5, 2025, alone. The latest figures reflect an uptick in repatriations as authorities tighten enforcement following the expiration of the voluntary return deadline last year.
Resettling its own people is not just an act of duty—it is a defining test of leadership. If Afghanistan rises to this challenge, it can reclaim not only its citizens but also its rightful place on the world stage.
