[KhaamaPress] The Middle East Institute reports that former U.S. allies in Afghanistan, fearing persecution, continue to live in hiding.
The Middle East Institute has reported that many Afghan former translators and assistants who worked with the U.S. military in Afghanistan continue to live in hiding, fearing retaliation from the Taliban ...Arabic for students... . These individuals, who assisted U.S. forces during the war, are still facing the threat of harassment and violence. Despite the claims by the Trump administration that the situation in Afghanistan is conducive to the return of Afghan refugees, many are still unable to safely go back.
As of early 2025, around 110,000 Afghan refugees remain in Afghanistan, while 90,000 others are stranded in third-party countries. These individuals have already undergone long and rigorous vetting processes for resettlement but continue to wait for visa approval or relocation. The Trump administration took a significant step by suspending the Afghan refugee resettlement program, further complicating the fate of these vulnerable people.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has asserted that conditions in Afghanistan are stable enough for refugees to return. In April, the DHS officially revoked Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for thousands of Afghan nationals, including those who had previously been granted refugee status. This decision followed consultations between DHS officials and the U.S. State Department, who concluded that Afghanistan no longer met the legal criteria for offering protection to Afghan refugees.
Since August 2021, nearly 180,000 Afghan nationals have been admitted to the United States, with some receiving Special Immigrant Visas (SIV), which grant them a pathway to permanent residence. However,
corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds... the Trump administration views the return of Afghan refugees from the U.S. as a national security necessity, further fueling concerns about the resettlement process’s integrity.
Security concerns have been raised about the screening of Afghan migrants colonists. A 2022 report from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Inspector General noted that over 79,000 Afghan migrants colonists had been accepted into the U.S. between July 2021 and January 2022. However,
corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds... accusations were made about insufficient vetting, with over 1,400 individuals identified with possible links to ISIS-Khorasan, raising alarms about national security.
The Middle East Institute also highlights that the decision to expel Afghan refugees could be linked to recent interactions with the Taliban, including the release of several American hostages. The Trump administration’s push for cooperation with the Taliban on intelligence matters, particularly against terrorist groups operating in Afghanistan, might be influencing this policy. Furthermore, the U.S. has pressured the Taliban to recover and return leftover weapons, indicating the broader political strategy tied to these refugee decisions.
The situation of Afghan refugees remains a tragic and complex issue, with significant humanitarian, political, and security challenges. While some actions, such as the suspension of refugee resettlement programs, may be seen as necessary by the Trump administration for national security, they have also left thousands of vulnerable individuals without clear prospects for safety or resettlement.
All of which will be diverted to Talib pockets as their jizya entitlement. Happy with yourselves, guys?
[KhaamaPress] The EU has allocated €250,000 through the International Red Thingy to support Afghan migrants colonists expelled from Pakistain, providing essential aid.
The European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... has allocated €250,000 to the International Federation of Red Thingy in Afghanistan to assist Afghan migrants colonists recently expelled from Pakistain. This financial aid aims to address the urgent needs of Afghan migrants colonists in the country, particularly in providing shelter, healthcare services, clean drinking water, and food supplies.
Andreas Papaconstantinou, the European Commission’s Director for the Middle East and Central Asia, confirmed that the funds would be used to respond to the emergency situation faced by these migrants colonists. He explained that the aid would directly support thousands of Afghan refugees who have been left homeless and are struggling with severe economic difficulties.
In a tweet, Papaconstantinou highlighted the plight of the migrants colonists, saying, "Many of these migrants colonists have lost their homes and are now facing poverty and an uncertain future." He also mentioned that during his visit to Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistain's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire... , he met with some of the Afghan migrants colonists and listened to their stories. He expressed deep admiration for their resilience and determination, stating, "I was deeply moved by the resilience and perseverance of these people. The EU will stand by them."
According to the United Nations ...where theory meets practice and practice loses... , in the past three weeks alone, approximately 120,000 Afghan migrants colonists have been expelled from Pakistain. This sharp increase in expulsions follows Pakistain’s decision to deport undocumented migrants colonists, leaving returnees to grapple with severe economic hardships and a lack of essential services in Afghanistan.
The EU’s swift response demonstrates a commitment to supporting vulnerable Afghan migrants colonists during this crisis. This financial aid highlights the ongoing challenges faced by refugees and underscores the need for continued international cooperation to alleviate the humanitarian burden on Afghanistan. Further support from global organizations will be crucial in ensuring the well-being of these displaced individuals as they rebuild their lives in a difficult environment.
[To,oNews] The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that over 130,000 Afghan migrants colonists have returned from Pakistain and Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... between April 1 and 13.
According to the report, two million Afghans are expected to return from Iran and more than 1.6 million others from Pakistain this year.
The WHO stated: "These individuals have returned either forcibly or voluntarily, with 60% coming from Pakistain and 40% from Iran."
Raouf Mazou, Assistant High Commissioner for Operations at UNHCR, discussed the situation of Afghan migrants colonists in Pakistain with Mohammad Sadiq, Pakistain’s Special Representative for Afghanistan.
The Pak special representative wrote on X about the discussions during the meeting that: "International community resettled only 86,000 of Afghan nationals out of 800,000 who entered Pakistain after August 2021."
Reza Sakhi, an Afghan migrant in Pakistain, stated: "Migrant problems are numerous. Since March 31, the deadline, the issues have worsened—especially for those without documentation or expired visas. They have reapplied but received no assistance."
[NYPOST] A lefty Wisconsin jurist is threatening not to hold court following Friday's arrest of Milwaukee judge for allegedly helping a Mexican illegal migrant evade federal immigration officers.
Monica Isham, a circuit judge Sawyer County, defended Judge Hannah Dugan Saturday, claiming in an email to other state judges that she ''has no intention of allowing anyone to be taken out of my courtroom by [Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents] and sent to a concentration camp,'' Wisconsin Right Now first reported.
Isham, who in 2023 became the first Native American elected to the county's circuit court, also threatened to ''start raising bail money'' for defendants.
''Yesterday, Judge Hannah Dugan of Milwaukee County stood on her Oath in the very building she swore to uphold it and she was arrested and charged with felonies for it,'' Isham wrote.
''Enough is enough. I no longer feel protected or respected as a Judge in this administration. If there is no guidance for us and no support for us, I will refuse to hold court in Branch 2 in Sawyer County. I will not put myself or my staff who may feel compelled to help me or my community in [harm's] way.'' Hokay. Shut it down and no pay

[NYPOST] The US and Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites.

A senior US official told The Post the four-hour talks with Tehran were ''positive and productive'' but still cautioned that ''there is still much to do.''
''We agreed to meet again soon, in Europe, and we thank our Omani partners for facilitating these talks,'' the official added.

He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance.

[NewsMax] President Donald Trump ...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election. Then he beat Kamala while dodging bullets... warned that he could "very willingly" order the U.S. military to take out Iran's nuclear facilities if negotiations between the two countries fail to produce an agreement.
Trump has repeatedly said Iran cannot be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons.
Negotiations between Iran and the U.S. over Tehran's rapidly advancing nuclear program will return Saturday to the secluded sultanate of Oman, where experts on both sides will start hammering the technical details of any possible deal.
The talks seek to limit Iran's nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of some of the crushing economic sanctions the U.S. has imposed on the Islamic Theocratic RepublicTrump repeatedly has threatened to unleash Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s targeting Iran's program if a deal isn't reached. Iranian officials increasingly warn that they could pursue a nuclear weapon with their stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels.
During an interview with Time magazine, Trump was asked whether he was "worried" Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would drag the U.S. into a war.
"No," said the president, who continued his answer after the questioner attempted to change topics.
"[H]e may go into a war. But we're not getting dragged in."
Did that mean the U.S. will stay out if Israel goes into Iran?
"No, I didn't say that," Trump said. "You asked if he'd [Netanyahu] drag me in, like I'd go in unwillingly. No, I may go in very willingly if we can't get a deal. If we don't make a deal, I'll be leading the pack."
Trump was asked about a report that he stopped Israel from attacking Iran.
"That's not right," Trump said. "No, it's not right. I didn't stop them. But I didn't make it comfortable for them, because I think we can make a deal without the attack. I hope we can. It's possible we'll have to attack because Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. But I didn't make it comfortable for them, but I didn't say no. Ultimately, I was going to leave that choice to them, but I said I would much prefer a deal than bombs being dropped."
