Pakistan hosted unprecedented number of Afghan refugees

Rahimullah Yousafzai (Expert on Afghan Affairs): Pakistan is the only country that hosted a huge number of Afghan refugees and tried to facilitate them with all possible and available resources. There is no precedent in the world where such a huge number of refugees being treated like the citizens of the same country. Some refugees have been living in Pakistan for three generations. They have established their businesses here, and some of them have even married locals and have been deeply integrated into society. The government also supported voluntary repatriation of the Afghan refugees residing in Pakistan with safety and dignity.
