Pakistan migrant crackdown: Thousands of undocumented Afghans return home
Pakistan has ordered hundreds of thousands of Afghans to leave, in a major push against undocumented migrants.
Islamabad says the campaign is not targeting Afghans specifically, although they make up most of the foreigners in the country
Some are leaving willingly, while others are being forced out. It is a major push against illegal migrants, with Afghans at the forefront. But Islamabad says it’s not just about Afghans – they’re the bulk of foreigners in the country.
Al Jazeera’s Kamal Hyder has more from Peshawar in northwestern Pakistan.
