00:02The Trump administration is considering a controversial new plan to send more than 1,000 Afghans who supported U.S.
00:09forces not to America but to Central Africa.
00:13According to reports, up to 1,100 Afghans currently stranded in Qatar could be resettled in the Democratic Republic of
00:21Congo.
00:22Many in this group worked directly with U.S. troops during the war in Afghanistan, including interpreters and family members
00:30of service personnel.
00:31More than 400 are children. They were evacuated for their safety after the U.S. withdrawal and have now spent
00:38over a year in limbo.
00:40The talks come after the administration halted a program that previously allowed these Afghans to apply for resettlement in the
00:48United States.
00:49Advocates say around 900 of them are already eligible to enter the U.S. and argue the solution is simple.
00:56Just welcome them to America.
00:59But instead, officials are exploring third country options, including the DRC, a nation already faced with massive displacement crisis.
