Traders protest 'one-document regime' policy at Chaman border with Afghanistan

epa10940300 Traders gather to protest after the Pakistani authorities introduced the 'one-document regime' policy, in Chaman, near the Afghan border in Pakistan, 26 October 2023. Beginning in November 2023, all Afghan nationals entering Pakistan will need to show a valid passport and visa. The new 'one document regime' policy replaces previous special travel permit allowances for divided tribes along the 2,600-km border. This move primarily affects tribes in southern Afghanistan, who regularly cross the border for work or family visits using a local document called a 'tazkira.' The change follows a nationwide crackdown on illegal Afghan immigrants in Pakistan and the announcement that the Pakistani government will deport illegal immigrants. EPA/AKHTER GULFAM
