History
Chaman has been used by NATO forces as a major supply route into Afghanistan since 2000.
Thousands of Afghan refugees enter Pakistan via the Chaman route on a regular basis.
In December 2022, the Afghan Taliban forces launched indiscriminate fire at the Chaman border, twice in a week and caused civilian casualties on the Pakistani side.
In October 2023, the border crossing process was made more stringent, requiring a passport and visa, whereas previously only requiring a national identification card, to cross from Pakistan to Afghanistan. This has resulted in protests in the city.
