TL;DR Summary

Afghan special forces who were trained and funded by Britain and worked alongside British troops in Afghanistan are at risk of being deported from Pakistan, where they sought refuge. The 200 special forces and 32 former Afghan politicians who worked with Britain and the US face the possibility of deportation due to lack of proper residency papers. Returning to Afghanistan would put them in danger of retaliation from the Taliban. The situation has been criticized as a betrayal by a former UK general, highlighting the failure to relocate and protect those who aided British forces.
