When asked why they have come back from Afghanistan many of the refugees said that they have to turn back because there were very few job opportunities in the war torn country and it was hard for them to earn their bread and butter.
Even the climate situation in Afghanistan is tougher than that in Pakistan and now it was severe winter cold that was threatening the refugees.
So because of these hard ships we have turned back, as living in Pakistan is far easier than that in Afghanistan, said one of the recently repatriated Afghan refugees.
