PAKISTAN TO DEPORT AFGHAN REFUGEES

"Pakistan is preparing to send 400,000 Afghan refugees back across the border to war-torn Afghanistan... In addition to the immediate planned deportations, Pakistan may send back almost 3 million refugees within the year, a move that... could further destabilize Afghanistan, straining its economy and challenging its fledgling security forces... The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has called the situation the "largest and most protracted refugee crisis in the world."
