Hamdullah Fitrat, deputy spokesperson for the Taliban, has announced that 298 families, comprising 1,505 people, were forcibly returned to Afghanistan from neighboring countries the previous day.
Fitrat said in a statement on Tuesday, August 11, that 220 families, comprising 1,191 people, entered Afghanistan through the Torkham crossing in Nangarhar, while 21 families, comprising 116 people, entered through the Spin Boldak crossing in Kandahar.
According to him, 35 families, comprising 109 people, entered the country through the Islam Qala border crossing in Herat, while 22 families, comprising 89 people, entered through the Silk Road route in Nimroz.
This comes as the forced return of Afghan migrants from neighboring countries, particularly Pakistan and Iran, has continued in recent months, with thousands of Afghan families returning to the country.
