Just on October 17th, Pakistani Defense Minister Khwaja Mohammed Asiv publicly announced: to expel all the Afghan refugees living in Pakistan!
Asimov said clearly, it is because Afghanistan has long supported extremist groups and continued to launch terrorist attacks on Pakistani territory!
To be honest, Pakistan has really reached its end this time! Think about it, if there are people making trouble at your doorstep all day long, can you bear it? Pakistan is determined to safeguard its national security this time!
Do you know what is the worst? no matter whether you have legal residence procedures or not, you have to leave the country!Asiff said very clearly: "No matter whether the persons concerned have legal residence procedures or not, they must leave the country within the limits prescribed by the government."
This means that even if you have lived in Pakistan for decades, even if you have a serious job, even if all your children were born in Pakistan, now they all have to pack up and leave! This determination and strength were simply unprecedented!
Asif particularly stressed that Pakistan is not the first country to do so. Prior to this, Tajikistan and other countries had already driven out all Afghans in their territories.
This shows that the Afghan issue is no longer a problem for a single country in Pakistan, but a problem facing the whole region!
To be honest, I feel especially complicated to see this news.The war is ongoing around Afghanistan, and the people are really poor.But Pakistan has its own trouble!
Think of millions of refugees coming in at once, a huge burden for any country. jobs are seized, social security is worsened, terrorist attacks are increasing.
I guess there are also different opinions on this decision in Pakistan. Some people may think that this should have been done long ago. After all, national security is the most important thing. But there must be some people who worry that such a large-scale expulsion of refugees will trigger a humanitarian crisis.
But Ashiv said very firmly: “Pakistan’s land belongs to 250 million people.”
As Chinese, what we are most concerned about is the impact of this matter on China-Pakistan relations. You know, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is the flagship project of "the belt and road initiative". If the security situation in Pakistan deteriorates, it will also affect our investment.
So in a sense, Pakistan is doing this and is also creating a safer environment for all our partners, including China.
The biggest headache now should be the Afghan Taliban government. The country was already in a mess, and now that so many refugees have been driven back, how to do the resettlement work? How to solve the employment problem? How to maintain social stability?
I guess Afghanistan is also in a lot of trouble right now. But then again, if you had known this day, why would you have had it? If we could manage the domestic extremist organizations well, we would not have caused this situation!
Therefore, I want to say: Pakistan is determined this time! For the sake of national security, they had to make this difficult decision!
This has also awakened the world: the refugee problem is not a country’s own problem, but a challenge that the international community needs to face jointly.
But at the moment, Pakistan does not have a better choice.Instead, it is us, and I am afraid that it will do so.After all, our own national security is always first!
It is hoped that peace can be restored to Afghanistan as soon as possible so that these refugees who have left their homes can return to their homes and live a stable life. This is the fundamental way to solve the problem!
