US Considers Moving Afghan Allies to Congo, Amid Vetting and Humanitarian Risks

The State Department is weighing sending more than 1,000 Afghans who aided the U.S. war effort and are held in Qatar to either Afghanistan or the Democratic Republic of the Congo, despite concerns about Congo's humanitarian crisis and questions about vetting; advocates argue these evacuees were thoroughly vetted and deserve U.S. resettlement, while supporters push for congressional action to protect them.

U.S. weighs moving Afghan evacuees from Qatar to Congo as resettlement stalls

Hundreds of Afghan evacuees at Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar, who have been vetted for U.S. resettlement, are reportedly being considered for relocation to the Democratic Republic of Congo instead of being brought to the United States, a plan critics say risks persecution and ignores safer options; Congo’s refugee crisis and the sensitivity of discussions raise questions about protections and viability as negotiations continue.
