again, pakistan was asked to take position. pakistan was then governed by a military. he decided to take a position which was in many ways controversial. to this day it remains controversial, but he took the position and decided to go in unilaterally, consciously and fully with the international community and the post-9/11 scenario. it's been 13 years now from a totally peaceful country pakistan has been turned into a battle zone. we lost over 50,000 lives in the last 13 years. pakistan or any of its population had absolutely nothing to do with the event the tragic event of 9/11. but the backlash was totally taken by pakistan. several of pakistan had been appreciated and the sacrifices the country made, but difficult circumstances in which pakistan come to found itself down and finds itself today even 13 years down the line, there's a greater understanding of pakistan's positioned, maybe all of the sacrifices would have been adverted but it's not that simple. in spite of the sacrifices, in spite of the turbulence and in spite of the many lives lost pakistan continues t

now, there is an green between pakistan afghanistan and the united nations under that agreement pakistanto protect afghan refugees inside pakistan, the problem is that agreement is up at the end of this year in december. and it seems that pakistan at this stage doesn't want to renew it. afghanistan is very concerned about this, it says that it doesn't have the ability to absorb up to 3 million afghan refugees returning home. especially not when their country has such a poor state of security the economy is in a dire situation and there is no jobs. so we have a delegation, at some stage from at gar stan from the government planning to go to pakistan to meet with the government there to through to talk about it. and try and & resolve it. but in the meantime, thousands of refugees are on their way out of pakistan back to afghanistan. >> nicole thank you very much for that. our correspond end nicole johnson joining us from afghanistan. thank you. >>> two al jazerra journalist says are out on bail after 411 days in jail in egypt for their fight for justice isn't over. bahar mohammed and moham
