The acting Minister for Refugees and Repatriation (MoRR)said, over the past 20 months, 1.3 million Afghan refugees have returned to Afghanistan from various countries.

Afghan Voice Agency(AVA)_Monitoring, These 1.3 million returnees came from various countries, including Pakistan, Iran, Europe and other countries. 

The return and reintegration of these returnees and their families have been made easier with the help of the Afghan government and international aid agencies.

Islamic Emirate officials link the rise in Afghan refugees coming home from neighbouring countries, including Iran and Pakistan, to the overall security improvement in the country. 

However, the UNHCR stated that a strong correlation exists between the ongoing return of Afghan refugees from neighbouring countries and the rising inflation and lack of economic employment in the host countries.
