The fate of hundreds of thousands of Afghans in Pakistan

Just another example of the cruelty of this world: hundreds of thousands of Afghans who had fled Afghanistan to Pakistan for safety, some of them decades ago, are being forced to leave their homes and return to the country they fear. They have no documents and the Pakstan government set a deadline of today for them to get out of the country. There are potentially more than a million of them but so far about 200,000 have left for an uncertain future. How will the Taliban treat them when they cross the border? Afghanistan's economy is staggering under debt and lack of funds, so the sudden arrival of so many Afghans seeking jobs and homes is going to put an unbelievable strain on the country's fragile economic state. So much slaughter and cruelty is going on around the world that the fate of these poor Afghan families is largely being ignored. Shame on Pakistan.
