Pakistan prepares to expel illegal immigrants as ultimatum reaches final day

epa10954257 Afghan immigrants are brought to holding camps for verification, in peshawar, Pakistan, 02 November 2023. Pakistan is preparing to implement its plan to expel undocumented immigrants as the deadline for them to leave the country is due on 01 November. The move particularly affects the millions of Afghan refugees who have fled their homeland, many of them driven by decades of armed conflict and the return to power of the Taliban. Since the Pakistani authorities announced the deadline in early October, a huge migratory flow has been recorded on the porous border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. According to official data, there are about 4.4 million Afghan refugees in the country, of which 1.7 million are not registered. Most of them fled during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the 1980s. EPA/BILAWAL ARBABA
