US Lawmakers Urge Trump Administration to Reconsider Afghan Relocation Plans

11 Haziran 2026The Guardian

US lawmakers are urging the Trump administration to halt plans to relocate 1,100 Afghan nationals, currently stranded in Qatar, to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). These individuals worked alongside US forces during the Afghan conflict and are at risk if sent to unsafe third countries.
Over 80 members of the House of Representatives, including both Republicans and Democrats, have expressed their concerns in a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The proposal to send Afghan nationals to the DRC comes amid ongoing discussions about the fate of Afghans who assisted US military operations. The urgency of their relocation has increased since the Taliban's return to power, which has put many of these individuals in peril.
The bipartisan appeal from lawmakers highlights the growing concern over the safety of Afghan allies who risked their lives for US forces. Shipping them to the DRC, a country with its own security challenges, raises ethical questions about the US's commitment to its allies.
