Description
Islamabad, accusing Afghans of links to narcotics and "supporting terrorism", announced a new campaign in March to expel hundreds of thousands of Afghans, with or without documents.
Many Afghans had lived in Pakistan for decades after fleeing successive wars and crises.
But seeing their removal as inevitable, many did not wait to be arrested by Pakistani forces before leaving.
Since April 1, more than 100,000 Afghans have been sent back to their country of origin, according to Islamabad, out of the around three million the United Nations says are living in Pakistan. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
