Afghan refugees mull return home after floods
AZA KHEL: Floods ravaged tens of thousands of Afghan refugees who have been living in Pakistan for decades after fleeing Soviet occupation and civil war.
Now as they survey kilometres of flattened mud and brick houses in a refugee camp in the northwest, some contemplate returning to an Afghanistan still gripped by violence. Roaring waters shattered dreams.
“No one is helping us, it now looks as if we have no other choice but to go back to Afghanistan,” said Nizam Ali who just passed his 12th grade exams.
Men who were busy spreading soaked bed sheets and mattresses over a dry patch of land nodded in agreement. “This is what we have left,” said Khair Muhammad, carrying a stack of clothes and bed sheets on his back in Aza Khel refugee camp.
Millions of Afghans fled to Pakistan and Iran in the 1980s after the Soviet invasion and, while many of them went home after the US-led forces overthrew the Taliban in 2001, an estimated 1.7 million remain in Pakistan, mostly in refugee camps. reuters
