Afghan refugees feel ‘betrayed’ by Trump order blocking move to US happymamay

“It seems as if the United States does not actually understand what it did to this country. It is betrayal,” Abdullah BBC told.

He escaped from Afghanistan with his parents amid the withdrawal of the United States in August 2021 and is now the US army’s parachute. He worries that he cannot help his sister and her husband to escape, because of President Donald Trump’s executive order to suspend the resettlement program.

It cancels all flights and applications for Afghan refugees, without any exemption for families from the active service.

Trump argues that the decision deals with “record levels of migration” that threatens “the availability of resources for Americans.”

But Abdullah and many other Afghan refugees told BBC that they feel that the United States “turned its back”, despite the years of work alongside American officials, forces and non -profit organizations in Afghanistan. We do not use their real names, because they are worried about doing so, they can endanger their issues or their families are at risk.

Once Abdullah heard about the matter, he called his sister. “She was crying, I lost all hope,” he said. He believes that his work made it a target for the Taliban government that took power in 2021.

“Anxiety is unimaginable. It believes that we will never be able to see each other again,” he says.

During the war, Abdullah says he was a translator of American forces. When he left Afghanistan, his sister and her husband could not get passports in time on board the trip.

Suhail Shaheen, spokesman for the Taliban government, told the BBC that there is an amnesty for anyone working with international forces and all Afghans can live in the country without any fear. “He claims that these refugees are” economic immigrants. “

However, the United Nations report in 2023 casts assurances from the Taliban government. Hundreds of former government officials and members of the armed forces have been killed despite the general amnesty.

Abdullah and her husband completed the medical exams and interviews required for resettlement in the United States. The British Broadcasting Corporation has witnessed a document from the US Defense Department to support its request.

Abdullah now says that Trump’s insistence that migration is very high and does not justify his separation from his family. He describes nights without sleep, and says anxiety affects his work in his combat unit, and serves the United States.

Babak, former Afghan Air Force legal advisor, is still hiding in Afghanistan.

He says: “They only break their promise to us – they break us.”

The BBC witnessed messages from the United Nations confirming its role, in addition to a speech that supports the demand for asylum by the US Air Force Colonel. Support adds that he gave advice on strikes targeting the militants associated with the Taliban and the Islamic State Group.

Babak cannot understand the president’s decision, given that he was working alongside the American forces. “We have risked our lives because of these tasks. Now we are in great danger,” he says.

He was moving his wife and young son from one site to another, and he was desperate to stay hidden. He claims that his brother is tortured because of his whereabouts. BBC cannot check this part of its story, given the nature of its allegations.

Babak appeals to Trump and National Security Adviser Mike Walz to change their opinion.

“Mike Waltz, I served in Afghanistan. Please encourage the president,” tells us.

Before saying goodbye, he added, “The light beam that we used to hold was extinguished.”

Ahmed managed to fly to the United States amid the chaos of withdrawal, but he was now separated from his family. He felt that he had no choice but to leave his father, mother and teenage siblings.

If he and his father did not work with the United States, his family will not be targets for the Taliban government. “I cannot sleep, knowing that I am one of the reasons that make them in this situation.”

Before the Taliban acquired, Ahmed worked at a non -profit institution called Open Goovernment Partnership (OGP), and participated in its founding 13 years ago in Washington. He says that the work that is proud of is the establishment of a special court to address violations against women.

But he claims his work in OGP and his invitation to women made him a goal and the Taliban fighters called him in 2021 before the Taliban took over the country.

The BBC witnessed a message from a hospital in Pennsylvania to evaluate “evidence of a injury from shrapnel from bullets and bullets” that they say “is consistent with his novel of what happened to him in Kabul.”

He says that his family is in danger, which increases its badness because his father was a faith with the Afghan army and helped the CIA. The British Broadcasting Corporation witnessed a certificate, provided by the Afghan National Security Forces, and thanked his father for his service.

Ahmed says that the Taliban government has been harassing his parents, brothers and sisters, so they fled to Pakistan. BBC witnessed pictures showing Ahmed’s father and brother in a hospital due to the injuries that he was claiming to be injured by people from the Taliban government.

His family has completed several steps from the resettlement program. He says he provided evidence that he has enough money to support his family as soon as they arrive in the United States, without any government assistance.

Now Ahmed says that the situation is very important. His family in Pakistan on the visas that will end in months. He contacted the International Organization for Migration and was said to “be patient.”

The president of #AFGHANEVAC, a non -profit group that helps the qualified Afghan refugees to resettle it, said that it is estimated that between 10,000 and 15,000 people are in the late stages of their requests.

Mina, the pregnant woman, is waiting for a journey outside Islamabad for six months. She is afraid that her horror will threaten her child who has not yet been born. “If I lose the child, I will kill myself,” she said to the BBC.

She says she is accustomed to protesting women’s rights, even after the Taliban government took control of Afghanistan. She claims to be arrested in 2023 and was held overnight.

“Until then I didn’t want to leave Afghanistan. I went to hide after my release, but they called me and said next time, they killed me,” she says.

Mina is concerned that the Pakistani government will send it to Afghanistan. This is partly because Pakistan will not give Afghan refugees indefinitely.

The country has taken hundreds of thousands of refugees from its neighbor, for decades of instability in the region. According to the United Nations Refugee Agency, the country hosts three million Afghan citizens, about 1.4 million of whom are documented.

With the outbreak of border tensions with the Taliban government, there was increased concern about the fate of Afghan in Pakistan, with reports of alleged intimidation and detention. The United Nations Special Rapporteur said it is anxious and the Afghans in the region deserve a better treatment.

The government of Pakistan says it expels foreign nationals who illegally return to Afghanistan and confirmed the confirmed research raids in January.

According to the International Organization for Migration, more than 795,000 Afghans have been expelled from Pakistan since last September.

The Afghan refugees we spoke to feel standing between the homeland where their lives are in danger, and a host country running out of patience.

They were hanging their hopes on the United States – but what seemed to be a safe port that was suddenly banned by the new president until further notice.
