Afghan refugees in Pakistan face uncertainty as deportation plan set to begin

The second phase of a controversial plan to deport Afghan refugees from Pakistan is set to begin.
More than 800,000 Afghans could be expelled.
If they don't leave voluntarily, they face arrest and deportation.
More than 3 million Afghan refugees are still living in Pakistan, almost half of them undocumented.

Al Jazeera spoke to one Afghan who's lived in a refugee camp in Pakistan for more than 40 years.
He's worried about the plan, and says there's nothing in Afghanistan for them.

Raising 16 children in todays world is not easy.These people needs to be educated so they can plan their life better.

[kanthlk]

Qatar should give refuge to these poor people

As a pakistani we love pur afghan brothers ... But the Afghan government who is blaming everything on Pakistan needs to stop ... Pakistan is facing financial crisis and we have invested a lot in Afghan fights for the peace and prosperity of Afghanistan...

[sarmadsardar]

Send them to India.Afghans best friend.

Afghan Taliban played a stupid game after coming into power, they started supporting TTP, they are about to get a stupid prize!

16 children as a refugee that too In another country and this is the case with most aghans in Pakistan. Now what u expect Pakistan to do now ?

[almanaratan]

I have an idea Qatar should take them in, PIA would even provide free flights. They have highest gdp per capita in world how about that?!

[oluwatoyinkushalu]

[greatshimrkarbala]

[PawanSingh-ppgs]

You are poor 😅
You have 16 children 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[sam]

Yes Al jazeera take them to iran, ksa, qatar, Afghanistan.

[MoaazMunir]

The Afghani Government should accept them back, provide them jobs, security, they need to go back home, the Pakistani Authorities should also help in this matter of sending them back to the country of origin! He has 16-kids, he should have thought about planning for his family beforehand. The whole process could be done in small steps, not in a single stroke. Just my point view. Their human rights should also be safeguarded! I am only saying this about the illegal emigrants living here!

[sarahhaaniaxoxo]

If they love the Taliban and Islam so much- why don't they return to Afghanistan?

[awaizmehmood]

Why Al Jazeera is so worried? If you have so much sympathy for them then you can take them to your country.

The other day I was watching a video made by a westerner in Afghanistan. He was asking people the country you dislike the most? Vast majority of them said Pakistan, almost none of them said the USA, those who said Russia was not even 20% of them who said Pakistan. What a messed up world we live in, those who destroyed Afganistan for decades, but Pakistan who tried to help beyond it's capacity for decades.

[janbazgamer]

Yeah, Afghanistan is not Pakistan's problem anymore, they got their own people to feed so leave.

[hugoausbayern]

now they are coming to germany like in thousands

[UNKNOWN..]

I recently saw a video of a dutuch youtuber who asked Afghan people which country they dislike most? About nintety percent of Afghan people answered that they hate Pakistan. This video was eye opening for me, a pakistani who is strong opponent of expelling afghan refugees grom Pakistan. Hatred of afghan towards Pakistan is quite evident during cricket matches. Being a muslim i would never hate afghan people but these things hurted me alot. 😔

[SaeedKhan-pjzf]

These refugees should go to UAE, qater and Saudi arabia

[almanaratan]

We have hosted millions of them for 54 years Alhamdulialh, I live in interior Punjab and my street has about 6-7 houses of Afghan nationals. They have papers properties jobs businesses, they are doing good. We might have done something for these guys too.
There are 5 mill. Afghan in Pakistan, authorites are deporting 1.7 mill of undocument ones, if we have still take rest of 3.3 mill, 1.7 mill wouldn`t be much of issues but Afghan Taliban ruined everything by supporting this abomination called TTP, for them for us and for these refugees! What Stupidity.
