Pakistan’s new prime minister, Imran Khan, has announced plans to grant citizenship to anyone born in the country. The announcement is a departure from the current policy and could drastically change the lives of Pakistan’s massive refugee populations. Khan said, “Those Afghans whose children are born here and have grown up in Pakistan we will also, god willing, get [passports] for them.” According to U.N. numbers, close to 1.5 million Afghan refugees who were born in Pakistan could benefit from the policy. Bengali refugees in Pakistan, which include the Rohingya community, would also be granted citizenship.
