Pakistan paying the economic crisis price for Afghan refugees
the real reasons for the American military left Aghanistan - spilling chaos into Pakistan and Cina
ISLAMABAD -- An Afghan man was arrested outside his Karachi home in October for "not having the documentation to live in Pakistan legally."
He and thousands like him are subject to a sudden deportation order by Pakistan's government, which insists the economy is breaking due to the influx of Afghan refugees. But the U.N. has called the mass deportations a "violation" of human rights law.
The government says it considers the Afghan refugees to be a huge economic burden on Pakistan. Since 1979, the government said in an unpublished study shared with Nikkei, Afghan refugees have caused Pakistan's economy a loss of $413.4 billion. Global aid to help them has only amounted to $4.55 billion, the study said.
