AfghanEVAC
AfghanEvac is a coalition developed to protect the vulnerable Afghan community, to safely evacuate the Americans left in Afghanistan. As Taliban took the control of Afghanistan in such a rush that US forces had no other choice but to withdraw as soon as possible. However, some people were left behind as well.
Therefore, to protect such people and to safely evacuate them from the country the US established a coalition called the AfghanEvac Coalition. This coalition has been working to provide permanent settlement to the Afghan refugees in the United States of America or any other third country.
AfghanEvac has been working such mid-august to save lives and bring the Americans back home. This coalition collaborates with the US government. This organization will be interacting and collaborating with other departments as well, such as the Department of Defense and Homeland security.
The motive of the organization is to make sure that international organizations that are helping to evacuate Afghani’s who escaped to other countries, don’t put their lives in further danger.
The goal is to provide these vulnerable people with a safe and legal passage. As if not done accordingly the relationship of the US with other countries might get challenged.
