Pakistan has ordered some 1.7 million Afghans living illegally in the country to leave by the end of the month or face deportation.
The order, which was announced by the country’s interior minister on Tuesday, comes as Pakistan grapples with a rise in attacks that its government blames on militants operating from Afghanistan – a charge that Kabul routinely denies.
About 1.3 million Afghans are registered refugees in Pakistan and 880,000 more have legal status to remain, according to the latest United Nations figures.
But Sarfraz Bugti, Pakistan’s caretaker interior minister, said that a further 1.7 million Afghans were in Pakistan illegally.
All will have to return home in the coming months, according to a report by the state-run news agency APP.
“The illegal immigrants and illegal foreign nationals who are living in Pakistan are given a deadline of November 1,” Mr Bugti told reporters in Islamabad.
“If they do not go ... then all the law enforcement agencies in the provinces or federal government will be utilised to deport them.”
APP went further, however, citing government sources as saying that the administration wanted all Afghans to leave.
“In the first phase, illegal residents, in the second phase, those with Afghan citizenship, and in the third phase those with proof of residence cards will be expelled,” it said.

I say good for them.
It’s a prelude to January 2025: “Trump tells 1.7 million illegals to leave the country by March or be deported.”
Imagine being so crappy that Pakistan says get out…
It appears they want even those with residency/green cards to go.
Interesting.
Muslims against Muslims, this is going to be tough. Something tells me that the U.S., India, China and Russia are going to get involved.
Move the decimal point to the right and you’re a lot closer to the truth.

It’s 50 million on the low side.
They all must go.
It’s a tribe thing.

Burma also managed to expel close to a million Muslims to Bangladesh back in 2017.
