US State Department plans to close Afghan Resettlement Office by April: Reuters
|
[KhaamaPress] The U.S. State Department has directed the Office of the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation Efforts (CARE) to prepare for closure by April 2025. This decision could affect approximately 200,000 Afghan individuals, including family members of Afghan-American military personnel, children awaiting reunification, and those who assisted U.S. forces during the 20-year conflict in Afghanistan.
CARE was established in August 2021 to facilitate the relocation of Afghans at risk due to their association with the U.S. government. Since its inception, the office has successfully resettled around 118,000 individuals, according to Rooters.
The impending closure of CARE has raised concerns among advocates and former military personnel. Shawn VanDiver, founder of AfghanEvac, described the potential shutdown as "a national disgrace, a betrayal of our Afghan allies, of the veterans who fought for them, and of America’s word."
This development coincides with broader efforts by the U.S. government to reduce diplomatic staff and cut expenditures. The closure aligns with President Donald Trump
 ...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down...
’s initiative to overhaul diplomatic operations and reduce government spending by $2 trillion.
The closure plan includes shutting down processing centers in Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
and Albania, where nearly 3,000 Afghans, including unaccompanied minors, are currently awaiting resettlement. These individuals are living in temporary housing units, receiving basic necessities, but face uncertainty due to the potential cessation of support programs.
The decision to close CARE has not been officially confirmed by the U.S. government, and the identities of those who issued the directive remain unclear. The situation continues to evolve, with ongoing discussions about the future of Afghan resettlement efforts.
The potential closure of CARE underscores the precarious position of Afghan allies who risked their lives to support U.S. operations. Many are now stranded in third countries or facing threats in Afghanistan, highlighting the urgent need for a clear and humane policy response.
Advocacy groups are calling for immediate action to ensure the safety and resettlement of these individuals, emphasizing the moral obligation to honor commitments made to those who assisted the U.S. during its military engagement in Afghanistan.
The international community is closely monitoring this situation, with hopes that the U.S. will uphold its promises and provide a pathway to safety for Afghan allies and their families.
Head of Afghan Evac: US yet to decide on closing our office permanently
[KhaamaPress] Shawn VanDeveer, the president of the main coalition of U.S. retired soldiers, advocates for refugee rights, and military personnel or “Afghan Evac,” has stated that the U.S. Department of State has not yet decided on the permanent closure of the office responsible for overseeing the resettlement of Afghan citizens.
On Wednesday, February 19, Shawn VanDiver posted a message on X regarding this matter. He noted that while the department has not made a final decision, “it doesn’t look good.”
He further clarified that the U.S. State Department is currently considering plans to permanently shut down the office that manages the resettlement process for Afghan citizens. He assured that as soon as there is more information, they will notify their Afghan friends about the developments.
Reuters reported yesterday, citing sources, that the office responsible for resettling eligible Afghan refugees in the U.S. has been instructed to prepare for closure by April of this year. This directive would prevent at least 200,000 eligible refugees from being able to enter the United States.
According to the report, if this directive is implemented, it would put the lives of tens of thousands of Afghan collaborators, who worked with U.S. forces in Afghanistan, in danger as they are now under Taliban rule. The situation has raised concerns about the safety and future of these individuals, who face imminent threats due to their association with the U.S. military.
The potential closure of the office that facilitates Afghan refugee resettlement raises significant human rights concerns. The decision could result in the denial of refuge for those who risked their lives to support U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
