How the US is Abandoning its Afghan Allies

CONFLICTED

An ex-Al Qaeda jihadi turned MI6 spy and a former monk turned filmmaker, have been embedded at the heart of conflicts in the Middle East. Together Aimen Dean and Thomas Small unpack the realities of war, fundamentalism and their global implications through first-hand experience.

In this Conflicted Conversation, Thomas speaks to U.S. Navy veteran Shawn VanDiver, founder of AfghanEvac, about the fate of Afghans who worked alongside American forces during the U.S. occupation, and how the Trump administration’s immigration restrictions are increasingly freezing them out.

Shawn explains:

 Who America’s Afghan allies were and the risks they took

 The complex tragedy of the National Guardsmen shooting in Washington D.C.

 The Special Immigrant Visa system and why it failed

 Trump’s first travel ban and the dismantling of refugee pathways

 The Doha Agreement and the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan

 The creation of AfghanEvac and cooperation with the U.S. government

 How Trump’s second term is closing the door on Afghan allies
