Wikipedia: Afghan refugees (Pashto: افغان کډوال ), (known as Muhajir Afghans in South Asia) are native people or citizens of Afghanistan who fled their country after the Soviet invasion of 1979 and the long civil war that followed. In late 1988, a total of approximately 3.3 million Afghan refugees were housed in Pakistan. It was reported by the New York Times in November 1988 that about 100,000 Afghans were living in the city of Peshawar while more than 2 million were staying in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
