Hundreds of thousands of Afghans are being forced to leave Pakistan as part of a government crackdown.
Many have lived there for decades and consider it their home.
But the Pakistani government blames Afghans for a surge in attacks by armed groups.
Human Rights groups say the deportations violate international law and that many refugees face dangers-- if they're forced to return to Afghanistan.
Is this politically motivated?
And how will Taliban officials deal with it?
