Pakistan closes Chaman border with Afghanistan, stranding thousands of fleeing Afghans

Pakistan announced the temporary closure of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border crossing in Chaman starting on September 3, 2021. The move, it said, was sparked by “security concerns” following the Taliban seizure of  Afghanistan. Thousands of Afghan refugees worried about life under Taliban rule, have since been fleeing to neighbouring Pakistan into the border city of Chaman.
