A tragic incident occurred on Saturday in Laghman province, eastern Afghanistan, when a truck transporting Afghan refugees returning from Pakistan overturned, resulting in 18 fatalities and 35 injuries, predominantly affecting women and children. The truck was traveling along the main highway that connects Kabul, the capital, with Nangarhar province when the accident took place. Abdul Malik Niazai, the provincial governor's spokesperson, confirmed that among the deceased were 10 children and five women, with the injured being rushed to hospitals in Nangarhar for treatment. Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Taliban government, expressed his sorrow over the event and extended condolences to the families affected. This accident is part of a broader context where many Afghans are returning home after being pressured to leave Pakistan, which has intensified its crackdown on undocumented migrants. This situation has led to millions of Afghans, including those born in Pakistan, returning to Afghanistan after decades of living and working abroad. Traffic accidents are a common occurrence in Afghanistan, exacerbated by poorly maintained roads and frequent violations of traffic regulations.
