‘Mini Kabul’ falls silent as Pakistan targets undocumented Afghans in border province

In Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa border province, Afghan communities faced a large-scale crackdown by authorities targeting undocumented residents. Residents of Mattani, near Peshawar, reported that hundreds of homes were demolished, and families were forced to flee or hide. Community members described being ignored when attempting to retrieve personal documents and medications. Police conducted identity checks and ordered Afghans to leave as part of a government initiative to enforce visa regulations. The interior ministry issued orders in June to arrest undocumented Afghans starting July 10, though it did not comment on recent demolitions.
