There is a saying in Afghanistan "may a chaos arises that is good for us"…the deportation of Afghan refugees from Pakistan is exactly that. Afghan refugees return will disarm one of the Pakistani tactics of using refugees as cannon fodder against Afghanistan---suicide bombers and Taliban recruit. It will bring economic benefit to Afghanistan----around 30-40% of refugees---those that reside in big cities—especially Peshawar Hayatabad live mainly on remittances send by their relative from western or Arab gulf countries.
Afghan skilled workers like carpet wavers, bring hundreds of millions of dollars to Pakistan's economy.

“Country’s carpet exports to drop from its peak of $300m to $120m.”
A good 2-4 Billion US dollars per annually of foreign exchange will fuel Afghan economy instead of being spend on Pakistan.
The political aspect of refugees return is even better for us Pashtun, absolute majority of Afghan refugees est 2-3 million are Pashtun. Afghan government must provide these refugees land plot—especially in strategic regions. Kunduz was a desert (common saying in Kabul..if you want to die go to Kunduz) but Pashtuns turn into a fertile agricultural regions. Land plot in either Baghlan, Takhair, Balkh, or Samangan should be given to refugees to develop with government subsidies...Kabul must ask for grant or loan from our intentional alliances.
