Afghan evacuees trapped in limbo: US promises broken?
During the US' chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, Afghanis, who fled under the US' wing, are stranded in at least 36 countries under dire conditions, as revealed by exclusive documents obtained by The Guardian. Advocates estimate hundreds remain in temporary facilities described as "prison-like," enduring family separations, mental health struggles, and fears of forced repatriation. The records, released after legal battles by rights organizations, expose the US government's failure to address the plight of Afghan evacuees with pending applications.
