Afghan exodus from Pakistan could be 'catastrophic' without urgent aid

[pakistani342]

@A-Team -- I told you that the Afghan government won't make any serious efforts to accommodate these poor people -- they will be left to rot in the cold winter.

Afghanistan will face a grim winter of starvation and death on its eastern frontier, particularly among women and children, unless donors urgently find the money to fund emergency relief for more than half a million refugees who are returning from Pakistan, a United Nations official has warned.

...

“If the donors don’t step up, then there’s going to be a humanitarian crisis in the border districts of Pakistan and Afghanistan,” Rudakubana said. “If we don’t respond now, it’s going to be catastrophic.”

...

The surprise exodus from Pakistan threatens to overwhelm aid agencies that are already overstretched, with the WFP estimating that around 600,000 Afghans will have returned by the end of the year – representing the biggest repatriation since millions of refugees chose to voluntarily return from Pakistan and Iran in the years following the fall of the Talibanin 2001.

...

“We spent three decades there, but we were pushed out in a very bad way,” said Bashir Gul, who had worked in Pakistan as a baker. “You can imagine how we feel.”

Nation building is never any easy or pleasing task. If they cannot survive now they wont survive later either.

The night is dark -- the day is light -- but what does that have to do with the price of a rickshaw fare in Mumbai?

Feel sorry for you Afghanis but you don't need to feel angry at Pakistan for being deported. Afghanistan is you guys' home and you need to offer your skills to Afghanistan. Pakistanis are having too many issues in their country due to the presence of Afghanis. Even hear that most of the drug smugglers from Pakistan that are being caught around the world, specially in Saudi A. are originally from Afghanistan with Pakistani passports, sort of thank you salute being given to Pakistan for giving them Pakistani passports. Pakistan was not created to make common Afghanis happy.

So Country A have refugees in Country B which they would not be able to handle if they returned.

Country A cause murder of children and innocents in Country B.

Now how stupid is Country A that they would risk economic collapse for a few dollars from Country C?

The stupidity is enormous. Why did these losers have to be Pakistans neighbors.

Good for TTP, good oppertunity for them, plenty of dejected and destitute men to find recruits. After war on terror, this will again backfire for Pakistan. Especially with CPEC thing.
However I dont think this exodus will happen. Imran Khan will ensure that this does not happen. Pakistan should be careful while dealing with Afghan refugees.
