Afghans flee Pakistan en masse: “We’d live here our whole life if they didn’t send us back”

Pakistan is set to begin forcibly removing 1.7 million migrants, many of them Afghans who fled the Taliban, Sky News reports.

Thousands of Afghans are fleeing Pakistan ahead of the government’s Wednesday deadline for undocumented or unregistered foreign nationals to leave the country.

Last month, Pakistan’s interim government threatened to round up, detain and deport those who do not leave the country voluntarily. Islamabad blames Afghan migrants for a surge in armed attacks, mainly in the northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the southwestern province of Balochistan on the border with Afghanistan.

[...] I informed Saboor and offered to drive him and Pari to Kabul. I will never fully understand why he chose to instead walk his daughter from Shadbagh. Or why he allowed Abdullah to come along. Perhaps he was clinging to what little time he had left with his daughter. Perhaps he sought a measure of penance in the hardship of the journey. Or perhaps it was Saboor's pride, and he would not ride in the car of the man who was buying his daughter. But, in the end, there they were, the three of them, coated in dust, waiting, as agreed, near the mosque.

Absolutely fucking disappointed to find out one of my fave trans punk musicians came out today as a Zionist. Straight up tried to both sides the issue and " the state has a right to exist" it. How tf do you at this point call yourself a leftist and still believe shit like that. How do you feel an ounce ok with what Israel stands for?

#anyway shoutout to Ezra Furman for being a fucking idiot and a coward ig #literally as someone who has had to reject my whole family and everything i was taught growing up i do not fucking care if you were #raised zionist or if you have faced oppression for being of a marginalised religion (speaking as a muslim growing up in the west post 9/11)#if i can face down my family and speak about the terrors my people have committed #if i can talk about hell what is happening rn to afghan refugees at the hands of my people against my people's wishes #then yall can also stand up and do what is right. right next to all my jewish comrades who are doing the same #this literally isnt about religion vs religion its colonialism bruh.#also like its especially fun when most the left punk scene is no borders no nations anyway like. what are you doing here

So I was today years old when I learned about the Afghan refugees living in the US after fleeing the Taliban because they helped our soldiers fight the Taliban up until 2021. These people have been living on US soil for about 2 years, and many of them are now facing problems because their work and living permits have expired. The Afghan Adustment Act is aimed at providing permanent reinstatement of such permits. The petition to get this act approved and implemented is totally free to sign online! If you have monetary support to give, they accept $7 donations!

I am selling prints in support of Luminus and their mission to integrate refugees into the United States. In particular, their mission to support Afghan refugees fleeing the Taliban government is close to my heart.

As an OEF veteran and neighbor to multiple Afghan refugee families, I want to see them succeed.

If you haven’t read the reporting in the Baltimore Banner about the difficulty Afghan refugees are facing here in Baltimore, I strongly urge you to. It underscores why organizations like Luminus and the Afghan Alliance of Maryland are critical.

If you are looking to put some art on your wall and support a great cause, consider buying a print from my Darkroom page. 100% of all sales will be donated to Luminus. If you can't swing buying a print right now, consider making a small charitable donation directly to Luminus, instead.

If there is a photo of mine you would like to see added, drop me a message and let me know!

Thank you.

talibans ban on music

music is an important part of many peoples lives, including mine. but how would it feel if you were apart of the many people who can no longer listen to music in afganistan because of the talibans ban on music? it’s been illegal since 1990 for radios and tv stations to stream music, according to rferl.org. the reasoning for this is because music supposedly corrupts the people of afganistan and creates bad influences on those who listen to music on a daily basis. if caught listening or creating music (through instruments, etc) you could get beaten or jailed as punishment.

on mass deportations of afghan refugees in pakistan

youtube

pls watch this video, its not exhaustive and ur encouraged to reserach more but this is a v good intro to the afghan refugee crisis in pakistan right now.

not many people are talking about this but this is a gross human rights violation. according to pakistan's citizenship laws, people born on pakistani soil are automatically eligible for citizenship and parents/spouses of pakistani citizens are also eligible for citizenship. however, these laws have not been extended to afghan refugees. now these refugees are being deported to afghanistan, even tho many of them have never been to aghanistan. theyre literally being sent to camps on the pak-afghan border and forced to take classes on how to evade landmines. the police is also targeting and brutalizing documented afghan refugees. any success and wealth that afghan refugees accumulated has been in spite of the bigotry of most of the pakistani population and in spite of the shitty pakistani government. these civilians are in no way a strain on pakistan's economy, neither do they pose a security threat. theyre just being used by the pakistani establishment as a political pawn to get back at the taliban govt in afghanistan and to appease the pakistani population in the wake of intense economic and political instability. the conditons in afghanistan are already horrible and the vid touched upon that. afg has suffered some major earthqakes that have killed thousands of people, in addition to the sanctions + ofc the fact that the country is trying to rebuild after almost half a centruy of violent conflict

also want to point out how sick this is considering that pakistan benefitted a lot from the wars in afghanistan (against the soviets and against the taliban as well) bec of US aid and then bec of aid that was given to pakistan to cater to afghan refugees (ofc this aid almost never made it to the people who needed it - pakistan has p much no welfare programmes for the refugees) and pakistanis are often discriminatory/racist against afghan refugees. the afghan people have suffered a lot due to pakistan's greed and now theyre suffering once again. pakistanis are literally using similar rhetoric thats used against pakistani immgrants abroad (that theyre illegal aliens, that theyre illiterate regressive extremists, that theyre rapists and criminals)

Afghans leave Pakistan ahead of deadline

A huge number of Afghans headed to the Pakistani border to return home hours before a deadline set by the Pakistani government. Illegal residents must leave the country or face deportation,

The deadline is part of a new crackdown on migrants, according to Islamabad. However, the measure applies to Afghans, who comprise the majority of migrants in Pakistan.

Pakistani officials warn that people staying in the country illegally will face arrest and deportation from November 1. UN agencies say there are more than 2 million undocumented Afghans living in Pakistan, at least 600,000 of whom have fled since the Taliban took power in 2021.

The campaign comes amid strained relations between Pakistan and the Taliban rulers. Islamabad accuses Kabul of closing its eyes to militant Taliban allies who take refuge in Afghanistan to organise attacks in Pakistan. The Taliban denies the accusations.

And please tell her that I cannot know the myriad of consequences of what I had set in motion. Tell her I took solace only in hope. Hope that perhaps, wherever she is now, she has found as much greater peace, grace, love and happiness as this world allows.
