Es gibt auch einige Afghans um uns herum, einige Leute, die hierher gekommen sind, um ihre Relativen zu suchen, die sie sagen, in der Kampe zu halten sind. Wir treffen eine Frau namens Amine, die versucht hat, ihre Schwester zu besuchen. Pakistan has taken in millions of Afghans over more than 40 years. The UN says there are about 3 million in the country today.
But Pakistan is frustrated by what it calls very slow resettlement programs in other countries and says this problem can't go on forever. Families like Nabilas are terrified of what that could mean for them.
Oh, no.
At ten years old, her life is limited to the confines of her home in Islamabad and the dirt road outside it. Her father Hamid served in the Afghan military. They believe he and their family will be punished or killed if they return. The Taliban government has told the BBC all Afghans can live in the country without any fear. But the UN has previously cast doubt on an amnesty.
Pakistan says its policies are aimed at all illegal foreign nationals. But Afghans we've spoken to feel their lives are hanging by a thread and their time in Pakistan running out.
This warning adds pressure to families who have told the BBC they desperately fear a return to Afghanistan. Pakistan has taken in hundreds of thousands of refugees from its neighbor over decades of instability. But it says it is now expelling foreign nationals who are in the country illegally.
It had previously announced that Afghans who have resettlement claims with other countries must leave Islamabad and Raalpindi by the 31st of March. The UN says that deadline still applies. According to the International Organization for Migration, the pace of deportations from the Twin Cities has increased in recent weeks.
She was hailed at the summit as the great daughter of Pakistan. Yet this is but one of a handful of trips Malala Yousafzai has made back to the country in nearly 13 years. In 2012, the Pakistani Taliban shot her on the school bus when she was just 15. She'd been targeted because she'd spoken out about the right of girls to learn.
Now 27 years old, she urged Muslim leaders and scholars at a global summit to take action against the Taliban government in Afghanistan.
The summit organisers, the Muslim World League and Pakistan's education minister, have told the BBC the Taliban government were invited but they did not attend. When asked about engaging with them directly, the head of the Muslim World League said they spoke to everyone. They said there wasn't any solid religious evidence in Islam that girls shouldn't be educated.
The Taliban government declined to comment.
