Amreen Durrani: Afghan Refugees and Pakistan

amreen durrani: Within hours it was top of Twitter's trending list in Pakistan thanks to users such as one named Amreen Durrani, who tweeted These Afghans will continue to be unthankful and will conspire against Pakistan, according to Rabble. I would strongly recommend to Kick OutAll Afghans. With the fighting at Torkham in June 2016 barely over and two soldiers dead, a new hashtag appeared Kick OutAll Afghans. The border clashes were among several events over the past three years that have punctuated a sustained campaign of hatred that has poisoned attitudes to Afghan refugees among the general public in Pakistan. The 1.3 million Afghan refugees who remain in Pakistan already face police harassment and government deadlines to depart. The digital mob, which has been raised in support of a slew of xenophobic hashtags, has coincided with what rights groups have called the forced return of some 600,000 Afghan refugees during 2016.
