However, the recent policy shift in Pakistan, focusing on repatriating all illegal foreigners, has escalated tensions. The US fears that these individuals, if repatriated to Afghanistan, may face execution for treason. This has prompted the US to delay their relocation for the past two years. With the current repatriation policy in effect, the urgency for a resolution has heightened.
For Pakistan, these individuals pose a substantial risk as trained agents of the US. Their potential use against the Afghan Taliban Government and Pakistan from within is a cause for concern. The US Ambassador is actively attempting to downplay the situation, suggesting a temporary continuation of their stay in Pakistan until relocation documentation processes are completed. However, Pakistan has yet to agree to this proposition, highlighting the historical complexity of such diplomatic matters.
