As Afghanistan faces turmoil under control of the Taliban, the Pakistan government is turning away Afghans in search of refuge in their neighboring country. Many families are living in unpredictable circumstances as they scramble for ways to flee the Taliban and find refuge. Hazaras, who are an ethnicity that is about the third largest ethnic group in Afghanistan, face additional threat as the Taliban continues to target them. The Hazara people are Shia muslims, and have faced great peril under Taliban control. They are especially vulnerable to attacks by the Taliban as bombing and massacres against the ethnic group have continued for decades. They also face great risk as ISIS has made them a target of several massacres in recent years. In the past month, over 9,000 refugees from Afghanistan have arrived in Pakistan, with the majority crossing through the southern border. Around 30 percent of this group is estimated to be Hazaras. This article shows quotes from several Hazaras refugees fleeing in unique circumstances from the dangers of the Taliban. Pakistan is now refusing to take in more people from Afghanistan as numbers reach higher everyday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As more and more families in Afghanistan become hopeless and desperate for safety and peace, as Pakistan struggles to find space for more immigrants, I believe the UN is fully responsible for coming to aid the humanitarian crisis that is under way. Pakistan has taken in millions of their neighbors, documented and even more undocumented, it is plausible that they are lacking in resources and infrastructure to house more refugees. If the UN does not intervene, I believe more chaos will strike this region as escape is less accessible. As we have seen historically, when nothing is done about human rights catastrophes, protests and mayhem ensue. As stories break of families being turned away from shelter and safety, the UN, Pakistan, and global organizations should be prepared to be criticized immensely if they do not step in and provide relief towards the struggling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article and situation is directly related to International relations class because it shows a lot of the conflict that can arise between countries without order. As we explore the question ‘how do we maintain order in the world?’ it is important to think of some of the negative examples that show what happens if we do not maintain order. What is going on in Afghanistan and Pakistan can be directly tied to international development and security. This event also provides an example of the conflicts between ethnic groups across a state, and the turmoil that can ensue in a non homogenous nation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
