"AfghanEvac suspects that Washington seeks to send the former US military allies back to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. The plan to send them to Congo is an attempt to 'manufacture a refusal.'"
"'Offer these families relocation to an active war zone in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, knowing they cannot accept, wait for the predictable no. Then use that no as the public justification for sending them back to Afghanistan.'"
"'You do not relocate vetted wartime allies, more than 400 of them children, from American custody into a country in the middle of its own collapse.'"
"The Democratic Republic of Congo has around 6.9 million internally displaced people, particularly in the east, where fierce fighting continues."
Afghan allies who assisted US forces are facing a difficult choice between resettlement in the Democratic Republic of Congo or returning to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. The US government is negotiating to send Afghans currently in Qatar to Congo, where they would face an active war zone. AfghanEvac claims this plan is a strategy to justify sending them back to Afghanistan. The situation is dire, as the Democratic Republic of Congo is experiencing its own refugee crisis with millions displaced due to ongoing conflict.
