The political will isn’t there to bring home our Afghan allies and their families.
All I can ask now, after 1.5 years of inaction is
“Qui Bono”
So, who benefits from Afghans NOT coming to Canada?

Big takeaway here - mature democracies speak truth to power and hold themselves responsible

Canada: @SeanFraserMP We‘re looking forward to the resettlement of every last CAF-allied #interpreter. #ProtectLinguists

Will this mean our #AfghanInterpreters get shuffled off to the side AGAIN for yet another “priority”?
@AfgCdnInterp has done so much work, yet there are so many Afghans who directly supported the @CanadianForces in #Afghanistan 🇦🇫

As Afghans who risked their lives to help coalition forces are at risk of facing violent retribution, less than a 10th of the 40,000 Afghans Canada pledged to help have arrived.
@sabaeitizaz talked to Wendy Long of @AfgCdnInterp about why:

Having trouble getting those 20K #Afghans to #Canada?
@AfgCdnInterp has a list of 10,000 people (1000+ principal applicants plus their family members) still trapped in #Afghanistan.
Feel free to call.
We’ll wait.

This makes it all worth it!
Sardar is finally settled and safe in his new place with his family after many long years of avoiding Taliban assassins.
If you heard his story you wouldn’t believe it.
Thanks to Wendy Noury Long and the @AfgCdnInterp

We’ve heard lots of rhetoric. We’re cautiously optimistic but until we see a plan with some $ attached to it we won’t hold our breaths.

There are hundreds of Afghan interpreters like Ahmad and their families stranded in Pakistan helped by an army of Cdn veterans @AfgCdnInterp @VTNCanada working hard to get the Cdn Government to do something.
This is my hero Afghan interpreter Ahmad ‘Radar’ Sadiqi at Baron/Abbey Gates in August trying to save his family from the Taliban. Now he’s finally approved to come to Canada but more red tape has got in way. Please help him and the others @JustinTrudeau @PakPMO
On this Remembrance Day, Afghan-Canadian Interpreters would like to thank the brave and dedicated Soldiers, Interpreters, Locally Engaged Staff and the Families of ALL those that served, past and present, and recognise their sacrifice.
Thank you
