The mountain border between Spinboldak and Chaman in southwestern Pakistan is separated by a 10-foot-deep barbed wire fence, and thousands of people cross the trade route every day.
When the score tries to escape Taliban rule, Pakistan has strengthened border security and made this process more stringent.
“People want to return, but they are not allowed to cross the border. We ask the Pakistani government to allow us to cross the border because there is no war and peace has been established,” Mohamed Nabi said.
“We have women and children waiting in our family-we want them to cross the border.”
Pakistan has resettled more than 2 million Afghan refugees Since the first wave of war broke out in Afghanistan more than 40 years ago, the number of people has fluctuated according to the intensity of the conflict, but the country said it could no longer accept it.
Displaced Afghans have long complained that they have little access to employment and civil rights and feel unwelcome.
Many people have become pawns in the diplomatic accusation game between the two countries, where these countries accuse each other of helping militant groups. Islamabad has long been regarded as a protection of the Taliban, and may be one of the few governments close to the new regime in Kabul.
