1.2 million displaced by Afghanistan war

Posted by | May 31, 2016 14:00 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly


It’s the longest war in our history.

The plight of internally displaced people has worsened in Afghanistan in recent years, despite the government launching a policy in 2014 to try and help them. Amnesty says that government corruption, inadequate funding and a lack of global support have all contributed to the policy’s failure.

As well as living in dire conditions, the internally displaced also face forced evictions from their makeshift camps.

    The US as liberators!

    I think 1.3 million may be a low estimate.

    I used to live in Pakistan and there were a reported 1 million Afghanis in Karachi alone. From my observation, Quetta and Peshawar were practically Afghani cities and both are multi-million in population. Presumably, Pakistan isn’t the only country with Afghani refugees.

    But that was a few years ago. Even so, I doubt that many have gone back.
