While Republicans and Democrats in Washington clash over who is to blame for the botched withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, many evacuees who have been resettled across the U.S. worry about those left behind.
WASHINGTON — While Republicans and Democrats in Washington clash over who is to blame for the botched withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, many evacuees who have been resettled across the U.S. worry about those left behind
While the world watched the collapse of Afghanistan’s government in real time, Ashiqhusain Meshwani experienced it firsthand. When the U.S. began its final withdrawal in the summer of 2021, Meshwani, his wife and his children qualified for way out through America’s Special Immigrant Visa program. It was a bittersweet opportunity for him, as he knew he couldn’t take everyone with him.
Akbazai was eligible for a SIV about one month after his brother was killed during a fight with the Taliban in Afghanistan. Since coming to Madison, he’s been supporting his late brother’s wife and kids in addition to his own family.“Since we can not speak English, we are just working for some companies here in their overnight, second or third shifts.”
“Jewish Social Services , they helped us a lot with the settlement here,” said Akbazai. “[JSS] found housing for us and paid our rent for about five to six months.”
