As thousands flee Afghanistan, some refugees want to go back

Some Afghan families want to repatriate to their homeland, saying the Taliban will bring stability to the war-torn nation

Around 200 Afghan refugees who fled their country before the Taliban took control gather at the Pakistan border with Afghanistan as they wait to follow the required procedures to be allowed to cross. "We emigrated from Afghanistan during bombing and hardships, when Muslims were in trouble," says Molavi Shaib. "Now, praise be to Allah, the situation is normal, so we are returning."

From trucks stuffed with carpets, bedding, clothes and even goats, around 200 Afghan refugees look beyond the horizon toward Spin Boldak in their country's south, waiting to return home from Pakistan. 

"I am returning to Ghazni, now peace has been established and we are happy that we are returning back to our home.
