8:21 pm
many only a lot of fun as they hold there will be afghan refugees now face being kicked out sent back to a country still a. can of. this story. hello and welcome to the program piron i'm more than two million afghan refugees in
8:22 pm
pakistan now living in uncertainty as the deadline for them to leave the country expired on saturday the government in islamabad announced last year that all afghan refugees must return to their homeland their proof of registration cards have been extended a number of times but the government says eventually they will all have to leave for many of these refugees pakistan is and always has been home afghan families first began seeking asylum in pakistan in one nine hundred seventy nine when so many of them were born and raised there they also say conditions are not safe enough for them to return but the pakistani government says its economy cannot afford what it calls the burden of the refugees any longer the has more from the capital islamabad. ever since the russian and region of honest on nineteen seventies the van refugees have corp august on their home the government of
8:23 pm
pakistan has been exerting pressure on these next three games to go back because they. say you sanctity by militant outfits which are targeting father son however the relationship between kabul and islamabad has become. a several rounds of talks between the civil and military leadership august on and as far as dealing with the foreign refugees as concerns the country is also due to hold an election on the green the fifth of july after new government will be in place in islamabad to take decisions on the future relationship with afghanistan and the plight of the refugees residing in this country the united nations high commission for refugees optimistic that despite the fact that it was indeed the day to nine the government of pakistan was likely to increase that deadline. and to ease the suffering of the of one refugees in exonerating across this country this is the model heidi the
8:24 pm
reporting for insight story from islamabad. well almost one point four million registered afghan refugees were living in pakistan at the beginning of this year the un's refugee agency estimates up to one million registered refugees were also there since then only twenty one thousand that's fewer than one percent have returned to afghanistan that's according to the un's humanitarian office around one hundred fifty thousand left last year when pakistan first announced its repatriation plans but fewer than half the registered refugees helped by the u.n. h.c.r. the others either went back on their own accord or were deported by pakistan. but let's bring in our guest now joining us from kabul is riyadh some other former afghan refugee in pakistan who returned to afghanistan in two thousand and three here in the heart of either an investigative journalist from pakistan and also from
8:25 pm
kabul as william carter head of the program at the norwegian refugee council a very warm welcome to all of you must to say that let me start with you. should the deadline for afghan refugees to leave pakistan be extended once again what is at stake here for them. thank you very much for having me here. i believe it should be extended there is a need for extension and the government of pakistan shouldn't be using the refugees as a political pressure at the moment evelyn government doesn't have that capacity of the moment to absorb those huge number of refugees and the government can privatize government of afghanistan can prioritize different categories of for refugees which can be observed for example those who have some established businesses or those who are related in family members abroad but those who are living with very limited means in pakistan will be very difficult for them to to
8:26 pm
absorb and to adjust to the environment of afghanistan so the government of pakistan should comply to the reform in principle and extend this deadline. of why off to hosting afghan refugees for nearly forty decades has pakistan started with patrick and them and made such a priority of it in the last two here is why at this time. well the on says very clear since because a government in the falling government of afghanistan has been doing is has been ruled by its own people and there has been no plan as such as to how the refugees are going to go back there is no public pressure as such on the flounder if it is to be returned to be repatriated there is a sympathy there is that brotherhood that was there in nine hundred seventy nine to a great degree but when there are incidents of terrorism and somehow of one day if
8:27 pm
it is are found involved in them or in political protests like pushed through in the first movement the recent political upsurge then it raises some concerns more so because of the konami reasons as come on reported from istanbul but. has been in distress form various you know the reason for various reasons internal issues corruption mismanagement and no. have these all of them snowball and create a scenario for his. plan from afghanistan for the creation and understanding generally is that of what is done is not serious about taking the responsibility of the refugees as much as that if you want to stay and bikes on understand there were little billet the the same feeling of ownership is not there in kabul mr william cotta do you think of gunfire is in a position to take these refugees back given the number of violent attacks and the instability that continues in the country i mean just last year to three thousand
8:28 pm
five hundred thirty eight people were killed in attacks more than seven thousand engine. yes we would agree that now would not be the best time for people to be encouraged to return back to afghanistan security instance of going up control over parts of the country has really gone down and the situation is very very fragile and uncertain with the elections coming we saw a large wave of people of refugees feeling forced to return in two thousand and sixteen from pakistan to eastern afghanistan. it's a very tenuous position province on the border with pakistan. as in the islamic states aligned groups fight with the taliban fight with the governments and international military forces it's a province where the mother of all bombs was dropped last year
8:29 pm
a province where just a few months ago our colleagues at save the children in eastern afghanistan were unfortunately attacks it's really a unsafe situation right now we also say that in our own studies and research which rates released earlier in this year and generally pointed out of those hundreds and thousands of people that come back in two thousand and sixteen many of them had been forced to flee again or leave their homes because of insecurity or because they hadn't found a basic services available to them and so really there's not a solution here just yet we really hope that the government of pakistan remains patients and that the incest community can support refugee staying in pakistan who have been very on the whole generous host over for decades. hosting of sting afghan refugees but now really is not the right time for people to feel forced or encouraged to come back and that's another that well what do you make of that
8:30 pm
because you know u.s. citing the security and economic reasons that pakistan is considering and sending these refugees back but as mr carter has been saying there is a real security problem where there is a lack of it and of ghana fan so how much how high is that a factor in the pakistan government's consideration here well that's a very well of point insecurity enough quantised and has risen and this is a sign that the government in kabul is not effective which does is the concern in the there's the whole would these refugees eventually go back if it's if gabble keeps losing control and militants whether they are days. taliban or other factions they continue to go and gain more space and operate in larger areas than they were like five years ago or two years ago or that concern where the much exists or what is it what is more important is the commitment that gobbles showed or lacks to show
8:31 pm
on the table and in its plans as my friend sadat said in kabul that did this should be a priority there should be a serious and and discussion about how in phased manner all these refugees can go there is little progress on that account and the stomach feels that these this political politicize ation of the issue which is being said. helps. washington and other stakeholders realize that this is not obliged to continue this hospital a tea for a very long time on the other hand i would just give you any separate example there is this movement called open the border in southern syria. and jordan for jordan to open the border but at the same time jordan is saying that we need support for buggiest on the same has been not there for a for a long time and instead there is a recent list at issue of pakistan for in f. eighty s. financial action task force all these things did not co-exist in pakistan continues
8:32 pm
to take the responsibility that is due to it on the name of neighborhood and humanity but then washington which needs support continues to press islam. against the wall yes pakistan you know has taken and great number of afghan refugees obviously more than anyone else and you are saying that it has not received the international support that it needed to do so and to say that let me come back to you because you were actually an afghan refugee in pakistan so what was your experience of that but also of returning to afghanistan did you have the support you needed when you returned. thank you well i lived in pakistan as a refugee camp for about fourteen years and i grew up there i had my primary and secondary schooling there. we lived in a mad house and in
8:33 pm
a difficult situation but we thought that how life was we didn't know how difficult that life our situation was that now we knew we were in difficult but at the time we thought that wasn't normal life for everyone the time we were returning after the fall of taliban in two thousand and three. we thought in pakistan but we are taking a very difficult decision and we are going to a place specially for me that i had never been before to kabul so when we came in the beginning it was a bit difficult to adjust but soon soon after we realized that our parents had taken a very positive decision and when i asked what that's about all of the thing is saying that school parent then it was their decision then it was.
