Pakistan: After being blocked by the Taliban two months ago, the Chaman-Spin Boldak border crossing between Afghanistan and Pakistan has reopened to people and vehicular traffic, according to media reports. "After discussions between border authorities of Pakistan and Afghanistan, friendship gate at Chaman-Boldak crossing point will open from tomorrow morning & two sides will ensure facilitative movement of people and trade/transit vehicles," Islamabad's Ambassador to Kabul Mansoor Ahmad Khan said in a series of tweets on Tuesday. Meanwhile, officials in Kandahar verified that the border crossing opened at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday.

On October 22, the Pakistan-Afghanistan border crossing at Torkham, which had previously been restricted to commercial activity, reopened, allowing desperate Afghan men and women to enter Pakistan.

In an effort to reduce Covid-19 transmission, the Pakistani authorities decided to restrict all of its borders with Afghanistan to pedestrian travel in May of this year. The constraints also included Islamabad's decision to now accept inflows of migrants fleeing the Taliban's control of Afghanistan and the security situation there.
