Abstract
This abstract gives a general overview of the Afghan migration phenomena that took place between 1985 and 1988 against the turbulent sociopolitical background of Afghanistan. Several reasons, notably the Soviet-Afghan War, internal unrest, economic instability, and regional geopolitics, contributed to the exodus at this time. This essay examines the factors that led to Afghan migration during this crucial period and its patterns and effects. A variety of primary and secondary sources, such as historical documents, scholarly studies, and eyewitness narratives, are consulted in this study. It focuses on nearby states like Pakistan and Iran, which acted as the main host countries, and investigates the causes of Afghan refugees and the many travel routes they took. The article explores the difficulties Afghan migrants encounter, such as their issues in relocating and assimilating into their host nations. Additionally, the abstract aims to deal with how governments, international organizations, and humanitarian groups struggled to aid and safeguard the Afghan population that had been displaced due to the migratory issue in Afghanistan. It examines how humanitarian programs, refugee camps, and diplomatic activities may all help meet the urgent needs of Afghan refugees. Debates of the national assembly are a major source of this article.
