The Torkham border crossing between Afghanistan and Pakistan reopened Saturday to allow the return of Afghan migrants who are deported from the neighboring country, more than three weeks after it was sealed following deadly border clashes between Taliban and Pakistani forces. However, the key transit point remains closed to trade convoys, regular travelers, and medical patients.
Sources confirmed to Amu that while returning Afghan nationals are now being allowed to cross, all other forms of movement — including commercial shipments and passenger travel — remain suspended.
