| 2021-08-13 |
| [AlAhram] Those evacuated will be screened both in Afghanistan and upon arrival in Denmark where they will undergo `a security interview with the immigration authorities and other relevant Danish authorities'. Danish politicians have agreed to evacuate 45 Afghan citizens who worked for Denmark's government in Afghanistan and to offer them residency in the European country for two years. What happens after that? The plan approved Wednesday applies to people who worked at the Danish Embassy in Kabul and as interpreters for Danish troops. Demark, like other Western nations including the U.S., recently pulled its remaining troops out of Afghanistan. Denmark opened its embassy in Kabul in 2006.Current and former embassy employees from within the past two years are eligible for evacuation along with their spouses and children. The effort to get them out of Afghanistan must begin as soon as possible but be carried out gradually 'so that the embassy still can function,'' according to a foreign ministry statement. |
