Pashtuns flee to Pakistan fearing country's descent into violent chaos
"AS many as 20,000 Afghan Pashtuns are reported to have flooded across the Pakistan border crossing at Chaman in the last few days in an ominous re-run of the mass exodus which followed ethnic purges and outright civil war in the 1990s, following Russian occupation.

News of the outflow of refugees comes on the day a leaked CIA assessment warns that the country is in danger of disintegrating into "violent chaos" as rival warlords jockey for power and calls for direct international intervention to prevent disaster."
