Displaced Kunar Families Return Amid Hardships

Some families who were displaced due to Pakistani rocket attacks along the Durand Line in Kunar province have now returned to their homes.

Mohammad Amin, a 65-year-old resident of the Nawa Pass Valley in Sarkano district, Kunar province, has returned to his native area after years of displacement.

He recounted that during the previous government, his 12-year-old daughter was killed due to rocket attacks, forcing him to leave his home and village to protect his family.

Mohammad Amin told TOLOnews: “We live in poverty, working as farmers here. We only have fifteen goats, which are barely enough. Life is very hard. These destroyed houses belong to my uncles—all three were destroyed. The house where I live is over there. My family consists of eight or nine members. My 12-year-old daughter was martyred in this very house, and I was also injured. I left my home at night and fled.”

Some of these returnees are calling on the interim government to assist in addressing their problems.

Lalurahman, a resident of Kunar, said: “We had intact homes and ready farmland, but due to bombings and shelling, everything was destroyed. Now that we have returned, our homes are in ruins.”

Khan Wali, another resident of Kunar, added: “Previously, hundreds of families lived in this village. There was communal living, joy, and kindness. But due to Pakistan’s shelling, our homes were destroyed, and people were forced to leave the village.”

Local officials pledged that they are working to address the issues of the returnees with the help of aid organizations.

Mohibullah Hijrat, the district governor of Sarkano, said: “Out of those who had left, around 25 to 30 percent have returned. We are in contact with the rest, and they have also shown interest in coming back to their homes.”

Mohammad Ibrahim MiaKhel, the head of refugees and returnees in Kunar province, said: “People living in border areas with Pakistan had migrated due to shelling and insecurity—around eight thousand people.”

During the previous government, families from districts like Sarkano, Khas Kunar, Shultan, Marawara, Dangam, and Asmar were forced to leave their areas due to fighting and Pakistani rocket attacks. With the return of the Islamic Emirate to power, many of these families have gone back to their original homes.
