Actress Angelina Jolie, the mother of six and a ‘woman for Brad’ as she once referred herself to in a television interview, made a surprise visit to Afghanistan. The two-day visit of Brad Pitt's long-time partner is part of her role as United Nations High Commissions for Refugees (UNHCR) goodwill ambassador.

According to the Agence France Presse, Jolie stayed to meet with hundreds of refugees for two days. The actress then capped her visit by calling on to the international community for more actions reintegrating former exiles into the Afghan society.

"The focus needs to be put now on reintegration and that means not just putting up shelter but making sure there is water, job opportunities, a school for the children and medical clinics," Jolie was quoted by the AFP as saying in a statement released by the UN agency.

Citing the UNHCR, the AFP said that millions of Afghans have returned to the country in the last ten years. An estimated 5.5 million people are reportedly back to the war-torn country since the Taliban was overpowered by the US-led invasion in 2002.

The war in 2002 had killed hundreds of Afghans and displaced millions of others who sought refuge in Iran and Pakistan. But with their arrival after almost a decade, the population of Afghanistan has shown an increase by 20-percent.
