The Trump administration is exploring the possibility of relocating up to 1,100 Afghans who aided US military efforts during the Afghanistan war to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This move follows the cessation of a program that permitted these individuals to apply for resettlement in the US. Currently, they are in Qatar, where they have been for over a year, facing uncertain futures as Afghanistan falls back under Taliban control. The group consists of interpreters, family members of US service members, and over 400 children. Shawn VanDiver, president of the non-profit AfghanEvac, highlighted that 900 of the Afghans are eligible for US resettlement, while discussions are ongoing about alternative options for the remaining 200. VanDiver criticized the situation, suggesting that a simple policy change by the Department of Homeland Security could facilitate their entry into the US. The state department acknowledged ongoing efforts to find safe resettlement solutions but did not provide specific details about the negotiations.
