The Taliban have announced that 120 families, comprising 523 people, returned to Afghanistan through various border crossings yesterday.
Hamdullah Fitrat, the Taliban’s deputy spokesperson, said in a statement on Saturday, November 14, that 42 families, comprising 195 people, entered the country through the Torkham border crossing.
According to the statement, 15 families returned through the Spin Boldak crossing, 57 families through the Nimroz border crossing and another six families through the Islam Qala crossing.
The return of migrants continues as many returning families face economic difficulties, a lack of shelter and limited access to basic services.
Meanwhile, concerns are growing over the situation of returning migrants as temperatures drop and winter approaches.
Many of these families face challenges such as unemployment, poverty and a shortage of basic necessities after returning to the country.
