So let us start in august of 2021. On the 15th, the taliban completed its takeover of afghanistan. Just 15 days later, u. S. Troops complete their withdrawal ending a 20 year war. In september of last year, 76000 afghans may well be more, were evacuated to the u. S. And temporarily placed in military bases. And that brings us right up to date to where we are now. Were thousands of afghans are struggling as they remain in legal limbo in the United States. I know you are going to have questions, so you tube is active. The Comment Section is live right now.

Again, my name is ashley, im a community organizer. Currently based out of los angeles, but what i do is build community and for the past year or so then has meant welcoming almost 80000 of our new neighbors. People like nickina and hello nickina. Welcome to the stream. Would you introduce yourself to audi its, tell them who you are and, and how you got to the United States in a sentence if thats possible, cuz were going to explore that story in more detail in a moment. Hello everyone. Thank you so much for having to me and your program. I came last year from again, the phone actually was mother died. I live. I live on in 21 of august 21. And i do have like, 2 days after that, i used to albany for 7 months and then if i could go to virginia my month and michelle comes from center and then that, that, that to me or extraordinary journey. Thank you again for joining us on the show and hello, welcome to the stream. We do a lot audience who you will, what youre currently doing in your new home of the United States. Thank you very much for me for having me in your program today. I am hello, am i to me . I am womens rights advocate and joining a to the from the in the area i came to the United States just like nickina last year on august 21st i got into the airport in cobalt and i got here around 23rd of august. Ive been advocating for the rights of my people right now. In dc, ive been advocating for the womens rights and the people who are left behind and we are asking on this program, guess how guns bearing in the United States, the ones who fled from afghanistan and now trying to make america their home. If you had to use a word, what work would you use to describe this policy of the work youve been doing . Its been extremely challenging. Its been a year full of challenges in which we have welcomed 80000. 00 people. You know, its really hardening to see 80000 people from my home country, but they are here. And quite honestly, they face tremendous challenges. And during the 49. 00 states include and plus washington d. C. But the amount of difficulties they face as they try to integrate and start your new life has been disappointing. And we have not seen enough support for our community has been left to actually get American Community itself and in the African Diaspora to help new arrivals integrate, find jobs, find housing, and find a affordable housing, find Affordable Health care. And thats been tremendously difficult allows you could put some, some buttons will not work that are actually use which is challenging. Can you tell us one aspect of your relocation that is incredibly challenging that youre still trying to navigate right now . Well, if i go with myself, the experiences that i had a since last august was the experiences which i have never experience and was the worst experience of my life. The experience of getting out of afghanistan was traumatic in a very hard and difficult to explain. In, in 30 minutes, but i can say that since i came to the u. S. A, i have been dealing with the bureaucratic barriers that have that happened there and im struggling to get over with it. For example, it was really hard for me to get a Social Security number or a work permit and or apply for asylum. And now imagine that im someone who knows english who knows about the culture of usa who have travelled a lot of countries. And but imagine 79000 people who arrived to the usa and they have, they dont have a slightest idea, but any of those. And they face all these problems and do not know how to solve. All of them. Only achieve this of empathy where people are watching an understanding that it must be really difficult. So for me says, of course its not going to be easy. Even americans arent finding it easy. The American Government should do more. They a cause in least this problem anyway, the kina how much help are you getting from the u. S. Government . Because at some point when you move, theres a certain amount of money that you get and then how long does that money . It asked. Thank you. So much i want to add some motion. This is regarding hello john shawn, i think last year it was dark here. Well get this time for the people again thought i know. So well do the whole if they can, shed like me to tell people water racing for the cases and other countries like i was i b o, bonia and many other countries. Theyre biting for process the cases, the people who came to the United States. And she was me the hard for me like as a woman activation, ive got to what my leaders and also as a prosecutor for elimination offline and 2nd floor made up of law. It was hard for me to plug off and leave all of my achievements and most of my all of works in again its on, im just get one backpack and also left the country. And it was really not easy building. My saying it up. It was just one week to talk to about all of the country and was i wasnt getting on a couple months in a trip for 2 miles for all of us. And we didnt know what happened to our futures, our pays for our families. Then when i entered to the airport, it was also easy because the crowd are most of the sheltering and the people that i enter today. I stayed nice in that place without food and also without anything you can imagine be slave like street. And there was a crowd of people you can we children and also one man, man, know its carrie the can you describe miss so vividly this, this whole choose this a nightmare that continues to revisit youth because im thinking now. Ringback one year later, does it still stay with you . Can you forget that moment . Of course not, i think it will be, it will all of my life. I can forget that they that the call will collapse. And also that time i want to call, but that they, i was in my office and i had like to call a month to go over the country. And i remember its like a nightmare for me, but im thinking about school might not pulling up kind of, they dont have to go to school today because of cation. Every day i woke up with the news from a guy and also like me, but was going on regarding the woman, my one, my life. I also want to add a new one. I totally agree that the trauma of couple of days of the fall of our son is going to stay with every single ask and for the rest of their lives. Its a moment, it was a day that they not only lost their country homelands, but they lost their families, their friends, their jobs, their entire life, wherever they were, they have to start everything from 0 again, whether it was their education, their resettlement, their work, everything. But then when we came to the us, as people who were allies to the u. S, we came to the us, but we have to we, we have to and we are told, struggling with a lot of things that are happening and starting from renting it a place for ourselves to continuing to go at our jobs. Its extremely hard, extremely challenging, but i martin chat assured that there are a lot of people who care. There are a lot of organizations who are trying their best to make it easier for the, for the new arrivals to and to need your lives as smoothly as possible. Im just looking at what adam is saying on youtube. I am a say, im pretty sure i would struggle if i was sent to afghanistan and had to learn how to live there compared to the way that i lived in the United States. So theres the challenge of learning, a new culture or of the bureaucracy of that new culture. And today we got this headline. And let me show it to you here. My laptop, the u. S. Ends one immigration pathway for afghan evacuees shifting to long term strategy. So the way that the gainer and hello got United States is called humanitarian parole. Its not a typical way for Asylum Seekers to get citizenship. Its an emergency measure that emergency much it is stopping on october. The 1st, we reached out to several people in our big network and asked them what impact that might have on ash will you have a listen to this . And i love you to pick up the back of these videos siggler. This sounds like another way of closing the door on vulnerable afghans. So all we hope that africans can come here through fast pathways that lead to permanent status. We are concerned that the government is choosing not to use one of the pathways that could quickly bring people to safety. So as well, its been about the end of operation allies. Welcome in the end to the ask and humanitarian pro program is absolutely devastating. Its devastating for those of us whove been working to evacuate recently, afghans for over a year. But its really devastating to the afghans people left behind. The humanitarian pro program is not perfect. It could be a lot better, but its been the only tool available to risk afghans to get them out of harms way and onto a path of safety. With the governments now proposing those afghans do is turn a program like the s i b program that are limited in scope already severely backed locked. Im really concerned now that the risk afghans that weve left behind are not going to be able to survive long enough to take advantage of the programs to the government is now trying to push them into. This is going to be an absolute catastrophe. Yeah, i hear that here and i woke up to the news this morning and its hard to contain my anger to it to be quite fair because the pathway that existed for africans to come to this country at risk afghans, people like the gain and hello john, who stood by america for the past 20 years. You know, that pathway was barely open in the 1st place aside, the program, you know, folks who worked with the United States military went visa program. Yeah. Correct. Under 74000 people in that pipeline who are still waiting, processing and eventually accusation relocation to United States. There. 66000. 00 mediterranean pro applications of which only 123. 00 out of 66123. 00 have been accepted while the government doesnt ministration has collect the 20000000. 00 in fees from our african American Community. One that is deeply under resource by the way. And so its, its, its, its deeply frustrating to see that ministration closed the door that was barely open at risk and vulnerable africans. And in the 1st place, i want to at some point, so no rush whenever i was saying theres also the discrimination which is going on among the ukrainian refugees and african refugees. And it would be if i dont mention it, i wouldnt. Im not mentioning it because im quite the prototype thing or im, im putting the blame on a few question in do fujis. The way that atkins were brought into the United States were, the process itself was humiliating and, and the policies which were made towards atkins were shaming to the africans tours standing by the us the government of yours and trying to implement the u. S. Policy. And ive got some for 20 years, and these are the allies who stood there to protect all americans who went to have gone to them. And now they have come to us say, but theyre being treated differently than the you can. You refer to few gees and theyre being discriminated against, which is not. I dont think its fair. Yeah, i want to be getting what . Hello. John paid. I am like kind of when i left the on, i was not sure i didnt know them, but i go i like, you know, i enter today and i didnt know my future. Im also my distance, my destination like the next nation. And then i went to bill, so after theyll have the mental bunny for 7 months. During the 7 months. I see the piece on money of the people with their properties and some of those problems. And ive got some n bacon like me alone. So they were always trying to find the trauma, the depression, and if at that time we didnt know what will happen for our future nation based. And i was so sorry i just as this casey one moment cuz we were getting lots of comments from our audience as well. What is your current status . Hes going to be sense of not knowing whats going to happen in your future. Whats your current status living in the United States right now . So after the one month, so when the beatrice came to the to the other one. Yes. So they finished. I came to the genia. And then back time i said one month, one month and theyre small, come from center in virginia. Im to, to finish my paper, work even by my cheek and all those things. So it was really hard for all of the local country. We love like friends, property, everything, all of our shipments have said like will be across the very top office to like financial or our paperwork. So now i think theres also the hospital do people who are living in camp like they are, they dont have like, you know, that i to go outside of the camps and they are in the ration. And also they are really truthful and they dont know whats happened to the future. Oh, rich country where i except them, im the list i think they had like they used for not bring it to the United States. And all the challenges. Probably. And also many of the children and also sure that they are the school and they dont know what can happen to the future. This is the basis for, im also trauma for all of us looking country on one side and also being in this long process that we see the difference between the ukranian. Im also refugee mac. No one, not the only person whos seen that difference between what afghans are going for and what ukrainians are going through. I want to introduce you to achieve a mini, he is part of a group of investigative journalists. He spoke to a program called democracy. Now quite recently, and he made it very clear that there was a distinct difference between ukrainians, though seeking us, i am an ass gods. Lets take a look. Why are people paying 575. 00 for an application fee when ukrainians are a, are offered a Different Program where they, there is no fee. I mean, that comes down to a decision made by the Biden Administration to say, for afghans. This is the, this is the path for humanitarian parole, but for ukrainians this is the path for humanitarian for all the discrepancy or the idea that heres a program that rolled out months after the departure from cobble. And its only, its still only being applied for ukrainians. Whereas afghans are still in this, you know, state of limbo, i just think a lot of people in this community in this diaspora, Legal Advocates and they just have a lot of questions to hello. I want to take you back to nasty ly. Im gonna give you the exact date. This is july. The 8th. This is us president joe biden, making a promise. Have been listened to this promise. Tell me what you think about if hes delivered on it. Were also going to continue to make sure that we take on an afghan nationals who work side by side with us forces, including interpreters and translators, for message to those women. And man is cle
