Taliban's Long Reach: Britain's Shifting Responsibility in Afghanistan The Ministry of Defence has revealed that thousands of Afghans who assisted British forces are now at risk from Taliban attacks, live in fear of persecution, and face social ostracism.
This admission comes as a concession to the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Afghanistan, but it is striking that Britain continues to refuse assistance to those who need it most.
More than 7,000 Afghans have been accepted for resettlement, but they are either stuck in Afghanistan or trapped in third countries due to the UK's decision to halt evacuation support last June.
