Pakistan denies UN accusation of detaining Afghan refugees early, violating Sept. 1 deportation agreement
ISLAMABAD: A Pakistani interior ministry official on Wednesday refuted claims by the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), which said authorities were arresting hundreds of Afghan Proof of Registration (PoR) cardholders and forcing them to leave the country despite agreeing to extend their stay till Sept. 1. More than 1.3 million Afghans in Pakistan hold PoR documentation, while 750,000 more have another form of registration known as an Afghan Citizen Card. PoR cards were issued by Pakistan to Afghans who were registered in collaboration with the UNHCR, recognizing them as a legal refugees in Pakistan. Many Afghans have been settled in Pakistan since the 1980s to escape cycles of war in Afghanistan. However, Pakistan's government started a repatriation drive in 2023 to expel all those residing in the country illegally, mostly Afghans, after a spate of suicide attacks in the country that Islamabad blamed on Afghan nationals without proof. The government agreed to extend the deadline for PoR cardholders to stay till Sept. 1. However, UNHCR Pakistan spokesperson Qaisar Khan Afridi told Arab News hundreds of PoR cardholders in Punjab, Balochistan and Islamabad were arrested from Aug. 1-5. He said dozens were still being held while many have been asked to leave by Aug. 20. 'No arrest of PoR cardholders so far [has taken place] while action against Afghan Citizen Card [holders] and other illegal Afghans is underway,' Qadir Yar Tiwana, director of media at the interior ministry, told Arab News. He said authorities will start taking action against PoR cardholders in the country from Sept. 1, when the deadline for their legal stay passes. 'Their [PoR cardholders] extension expired on Jun. 30, while they have been given time till Aug. 31 for voluntary return,' the official said. 'Action will start from Sept. 1.' .Afridi said the UNHCR has conveyed its concerns over reports of PoR holders being arrested before the Sept. 1 deadline. 'We have expressed serious concern on the forceful deportation and arrest of PoR refugees and urged the Pakistani authorities to stop it,' Afridi told Arab News. He said the UN agency had urged Pakistan to extend the Sept. 1 deadline further to give Afghan refugees sufficient and reasonable time to return. 'In such a short period, over 1.4 million legal and documented refugees, including women and children, cannot go back,' he said. 'This action is against the commitment given to the UNHCR and constitutes a breach of Pakistan's international obligations,' Afridi noted. He urged the Pakistani government to stop the alleged deportations and adopt a 'humane approach' to ensure the voluntary, gradual and dignified return of Afghan refugees to their country. Pakistani authorities say all Afghan nationals must leave except those with valid visas, as part of the Illegal Foreigners Repatriation Plan launched in late 2023. More than a million have returned under this plan so far. Pakistan has often blamed Afghan citizens— the country's largest migrant group— for militant attacks and crimes, accusations Kabul has rejected. Afghanistan is also facing a new wave of mass deportations from Iran, raising concerns among aid groups that the influx could further destabilize the country.

No easy way out: Lebanon's disarmament plan puts Hezbollah in a corner
Lebanon's government has taken an unprecedented step by instructing the army to prepare a plan to disarm the country's Iran-backed Hezbollah militia. For the first time since the 1989 Taif Agreement, which ended Lebanon's 15-year civil war and led to the disarmament of all participating militias, the government has issued a formal decision aimed at removing Hezbollah's weapons. Hezbollah was the only armed group allowed to keep its weapons after the war, under the pretext of resisting Israeli occupation. The move strips Hezbollah's arms of the political legitimacy they once enjoyed. Successive governments had endorsed the so-called 'Army, People, and Resistance' formula in official policy statements – language that effectively enshrined Hezbollah's military role. This was during a period when Hezbollah was the country's most powerful political and military force, enjoying backing from Syria's former regime and Iran. But times have changed. The current government was formed amid a shift in political dynamics. Hezbollah emerged weakened after its latest war with Israel last year, while Tehran suffered major losses during a 12-day conflict with Israel in June. And the regime of Bashar al-Assad, Hezbollah's key Syrian ally, has fallen. Past attempts to address Hezbollah's independent military infrastructure or its separate communication networks have sparked crises. In 2008, when the Lebanese government tried to dismantle Hezbollah's private telecommunications network, the group responded by storming parts of Beirut. Clashes with political opponents left more than 65 people dead. Since then, Hezbollah's weapons have remained a divisive political issue. One camp has consistently called for the state to monopolize all weapons and decision-making on war and peace. The other, led by Hezbollah, insists on keeping arms to confront Israel. Now, with the landscape shifting, the question is: What are Hezbollah's options? A 'grave sin' Hezbollah's initial response has been combative. The group rejected the government's disarmament decision, saying it would treat it 'as if it doesn't exist' and labeling it a 'grave sin.' Despite limited options, each path forward carries significant risks and costs for the group. Hezbollah could escalate politically by having its four ministers – and those from its ally Amal Movement – resign from government, thereby disrupting parliamentary work where they hold a strong bloc with allies. It might also mobilize supporters in the streets, possibly with visible displays of arms, to create an atmosphere of intimidation. An armed confrontation with the army is another possibility. But any internal confrontation would have major consequences for civil peace and Hezbollah's role in Lebanon, and would likely turn the majority of the Lebanese public against the militia, especially if it comes into direct conflict with the military. Clashing with the army David Wood, a Lebanon analyst at the International Crisis Group, told AFP he believes Hezbollah will do everything it can to avoid a military clash with the army, because it knows the majority of Lebanese would side with the army in such a confrontation. Hezbollah MP Ali Ammar dismissed the idea of a confrontation, saying that the army and Hezbollah 'have a strong understanding and cooperation in serving Lebanon's interests.' Still, Hezbollah could escalate tensions with Israel. But as military analyst Riad Kahwaji explains, such a war would be devastating. With supply lines compromised by the collapse of the Syrian regime and weakened intelligence and logistics capabilities, the group is in a poor position to fight. The optimistic scenario The most hopeful scenario would see Hezbollah eventually agreeing to disarm and fully enter civilian political life, much like other militias did after the civil war. But a Lebanese source familiar with the talks told AFP that Hezbollah won't do that without something in return. The group's decision will also depend heavily on Tehran's position. Nicholas Blanford, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, expects Hezbollah to try to buy time. He said it's unlikely Hezbollah agrees to complete disarmament. What's at stake for Lebanon? Lebanon is facing intense pressure from international and Arab donors to ensure that only the state holds weapons – one of several conditions for securing much-needed aid and stabilizing the country. President Joseph Aoun recently stated that Lebanese leaders must choose 'either collapse or stability.' Meanwhile, Israel may act militarily again. It has already issued multiple warnings through media and diplomatic channels, signaling it will not hesitate to launch destructive strikes if Hezbollah's disarmament is not enforced. Hezbollah emerged from its last war with Israel in a weakened state. Many of its commanders were killed, and much of its arsenal destroyed. Getting weapons and funding from Iran has also become far more difficult as Lebanon and Syria's new authorities tighten border controls and impose stricter financial regulations. Several of Hezbollah's funding sources in Lebanon and abroad are now under scrutiny and targeted by sanctions.
