The Trump administration is in discussions to potentially send more than 1,000 Afghans who assisted America’s war effort and relatives of U.S. service members stuck in Qatar to a third country, the U.S. government and an advocacy group said. Congo is an option, the group said.
Shawn VanDiver, a Navy veteran and head of the #AfghanEvac coalition, which supports Afghan resettlement efforts, said Wednesday that U.S. officials informed him and other groups that discussions have taken place between the United States and Congo about taking the Afghan refugees who have been in limbo at a U.S. base in Doha for the past year.
