In just two months, the approximately 1,100 Afghan residents of Camp As-Sayliyah (CAS) in Doha, Qatar, will be relocated off base. Residents awaiting processing for stalled U.S. refugee and visa programs still do not know which country they will call their next home.
The State Department Office of Press Operations confirms that Afghans will be relocated from CAS by March 31 and that the site will "fully demobilize" by the end of the fiscal year. The office tells Reason that the CAS platform "is a legacy of the Biden Administration's attempt to move as many Afghans to America as possible—in many cases, without proper vetting."
