The British government has, so far, failed to deliver on its promise to resettle tens of thousands of vulnerable Afghans in the United Kingdom over the coming years, a year after it made such guarante.
The scale and pace of the UK Government’s Afghan resettlement scheme has essentially stalled and needs to be radically increased, Amnesty International has warned.
Ten months after Taliban forces seized Kabul, Afghanistan is still reeling from the chaotic events of last year’s US withdrawal. Since the withdrawal, Taliban leaders have banned women from many areas of employment, reneged on pledges to reopen schools for all girls and re-introduced face veils for women in public settings.
