										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A slum township on the outskirts of Pakistan, Karachi, the most populated metropolis, has recently seen an inflow of Afghan families escaping Taliban rule in Afghanistan&#8217;s conflict-ridden northern Kunduz region.</p>
<p>The Afghan Basti (slum township), which is made up of concrete and mud dwellings and even has residents living in tarpaulin tents, is seeing more displaced Afghan families arrive since the Taliban grabbed control of Afghanistan and subsequently took control of Kabul.</p>
<p>200,000 Afghans dwell in the slum township, whereas 500,000 Afghan refugees live in the southern city of Karachi, where they generally work as laborers or manage their own small shops and businesses in Pashtun-dominated districts.</p>
