By Mushtaq AliTORKHAM BORDER, Pakistan, April 30 (Reuters) - Saleha Bibi, 40, was one of hundreds of Afghan refugees waiting at the Pakistani border on Thursday to be repatriated to Afghanistan - a country she has never seen - as fears rise for their safety due to fresh fighting between the neighbours.Islamabad wants all Afghan nationals to leave the country except for those with valid visas and has expelled more than 2 million out of 3 million back to their home country since 2023.
Many are second- and third-generation refugees who fled violence at home in the 1980s.
