Thousands of #Afghans have been deported daily at the borders with Pakistan. Born, raised, living & working in Pakistan for decades. This photo is from the transit center near #Torkham, you see Afghan men waiting in the dust. With limited media access, their stories go untold. 🧵
Trucks filled with the rare assets Afghans could bring back. Most are dispossessed, extorted, and arrive with nothing. Governments usually observe a moratorium on winter evictions but not this caretaker Pakistani government. Zero rules apply, a story of refoulement.
Freshta, her mother and five siblings were forced to return a month ago. Her father is in prison in Pakistan. At night, the police came to their refugee camp in Peshawar and took him away. Out of the fear of emprisonnent, they all fled. Her 4 month old sister needs brain surgery.
A 2nd family only has these bed covers from their years in Pakistan. They are severely indebted and can’t go back to their village out of fear of reprisals. They’ve been lent a one bedroom for 10 days. Another deadline. What happens next? The two wives I spoke to have no clue.
The only hope for these children is to be given access to schools in Afghanistan, a right many have never had, forced to work to support their families, collecting garbage for many in #Pakistan. Will Afghan schools open their doors to them? #children #deportation @Samuel_Hall_
