One year on, Afghans at risk await evacuation, relocation

More than a year after the Taliban takeover that saw thousands of Afghans rushing to Kabul’s international airport amid the chaotic U.S. withdrawal, Afghans at risk who failed to get on evacuation flights say they are still struggling to find safe and legal ways out of the country.

Among those left behind is a 49-year-old interpreter who worked for a NATO contractor in 2010 accompanying convoys in Kandahar. Only six days after the Taliban reached the capital last August, they came looking for him.

“They come to my house and they threatened my son and my wife (when) I was not at home. They (then) destroy my office,” he told AP via WhatsApp referring to the place where he taught English. He asked that his name not be revealed for security reasons.

This month, he was interrogated by the Taliban again for more than two hours.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s attempts to look like the impartial, professional, and apolitical law enforcement agency they once were in their glory days only makes them appear more like the Democratic Party’s Gestapo. We don’t need to revisit the endless stream of lies manufactured over the Russian collusion hoax, the spying operation on the Trump campaign, and the fabrication and suppression of evidence to secure FISA spy warrants against former Trump campaign officials. The FBI’s top brass knew this collusion was a Clinton-funded opposition research project. Even the CIA now admits that the collusion claims were “user created” and that the whole plot that has been ingrained in the minds of liberal America was not “technically plausible.” And yet, they continued to stoke the flames of this fake news fire for years, part of their deep state against the Trump administration.
