have like, 2 days after that, i use it to albany, i'm paid for 7 months, and then if i could go to virginia one month and michelle come to me or extraordinary journey. thank you again for joining us on the show and allow welcome to the stream. we do a lot audience who you will and what you're currently doing in your new home of the united states. thank you very much for me for having me in your program today. i am hello, am i to me, i am women's rights advocate and joining a to the from the in the area i came to the united states just like making last year on august 21st i got into the airport in cobble and i got here around 23rd of august i've been advocating for the rights of my people right now. in dc,

i've been advocating for the women's right and the people who are left behind that kind of stuff. we are asking on this program, guess how africans bearing in the united states, the ones who fled from the scanner, done a now trying to make america their home. if you had to use a word, what work would you use to describe this past year of the work you've been doing? it's been extremely challenging. it's been a year full of challenges in which we have welcomed $80000.00 people. you know, it's really hardening to see 80000 people from my home country, but they are here. and quite honestly, they face tremendous challenges. and during the $49.00 states include and plus washington, dc. but the amount of difficulties they face as they try to integrate and start your new life has been disappointing. and we have not seen enough support for our community has been left to actually get american community itself in the african

diaspora to help new arrivals integrate. find jobs, find housing and find a affordable housing, find affordable health care. and that's been tremendously difficult. allows you could put some, some buttons on not words that are actually use which is challenging. can you tell us one aspect of your relocation that is incredibly challenging that you're still trying to navigate right now? well, if i go with myself, the experiences that i had a sense last august was the experiences which i have never experience and was the worst experience of my life. the experience of getting out of afghanistan was traumatic in a very hard and difficult to explain. in, in 30 minutes, but i can say that since i came to the usa, i have been dealing with the bureaucratic barriers that have that

happened there. and i'm struggling to get over with it. for example, it was really hard for me to get a social security number or a work permit and or apply for asylum. and now imagine that i'm someone who knows english who knows about the culture of usa who have travelled a lot of countries. and but imagine 79000 people who arrived to the usa and they have, they don't have a slightest idea, but any of those. and they face all these problems and do not know how to solve. all of them only achieve their so empathy, where people are watching it and understanding that it must be really difficult. so for me says, of course it's not going to be easy. even americans aren't finding it easy. the american government should do more. they a cause in these, this problem anyway, the kina how much help are you getting from the u. s. government?

because at some point when you move, there's a certain amount of money that you get and then how long does that money? it asked. thank you. so much i want to add some motion. this is regarding hello john shawn, i think last year it was a good time for the people to get. i'm also for do people who can she like me to tell people i was waiting for the cases in other countries like i was i b o bonnie and many other countries. they're biting for process the cases. people who came to the united states, actually it was hard for me like as a woman, activation up guy, this dog. well my leaders and also as a prosecutor for in the nation offline. and 2nd for my law. and it was hard for me to plug off and leave all of my achievements. and most of my all of

works in again it's on, i'm just get one back there. i can also left the country and it was really not easy doing. my thing, it up. it was just one week that's all about all of the country and was i wasn't, i've got a couple. so it was in a strict flow to miles for all of us, and we didn't know what happened to our future, our for our families. then when i enter today, and it was also easy because the crowd are most of the sheltering and the people that i entered today, and i stayed for night without food. and also without anything, you can imagine like sheet and there was a crowd of people, you can the children and also one man, man. they want to know it's carrie the can you describe this so vividly this, this whole use, this a nightmare that continues to revisit you because i'm thinking now this is one year

later, but it still stay with you. can you forget that moment? of course not. i think it will be for all my life, i can forget that they that the call will collapse and also that kind of time i want to call or that they, i was in my office when i had like to call on to god. what can she did? i remember it's like a nightmare for me, but i'm thinking about school, my girls pulling up kind of they don't have to go to school today because occasion, every day i woke up with the news from a guy and also like me, but was going on going on regarding the woman my one, my life. i also want to add a new one. i totally agree that the trauma of couple of days of the fall of are done is going to stay with every single ask and for the rest of their lives. it's a moment, it was a day that they not only lost their concrete homelands,

but they lost their families, their friends, their jobs, their entire life, wherever they were, they have to start everything from 0 again, whether it was their education, their resettlement, their work, everything. but then when we came to the us, as people who were allies to the us, we came to the us, but we half do we, we have to and we are still struggling with a lot of things that are happening. and he starting from renting at a place for solve to continuing to go. 1 whatever jobs, it's extremely hard, extremely challenging, but i'm more than shot. sure that there are a lot of people who care. there are a lot of organizations who are trying their best to make it easier for the for the newer i was to continue to live,

asked him loosely as possible. and just looking at what adam is saying on eugene, i am a say, i'm pretty sure i would struggle if i was sent to afghanistan and had to learn how to live there compared to the way that i lived in the united states. so there's the challenge of learning a new culture or of the bureaucracy of that new culture. and to day we got this headline. and let me show it to you here. my laptop. the u. s. ends one immigration pathway for afghan evacuees shifting to long term strategy. so the way that the gainer and hallel got united states is called humanitarian parole . it's not a typical way for asylum seekers to get citizenship. it's an emergency measure that emergency much it is stopping on october. the 1st we reached out to several people in our big network and asked them what impact that might have all as well. you have a listen to this, and i love you to pick up the back of these videos siggler. this sounds like

another way of closing the door on vulnerable afghans. so all we hope that africans can come here through fast pathways that lead to permanent status. we are concerned that the government is choosing not to use one of the pathways that could quickly bring people to safety. so as amount spent about the end of operation allies. welcome in the end to the afghan humanitarian pro program is absolutely devastating . it's devastating for those ones who've been working to evacuate recently, afghans for over a year. but it's really devastating to the afghans people left behind. the humanitarian pro program is not perfect. it could be a lot better, but it's been the only tool available to risk afghans to get them out of harm's way and onto a path of safety. what the governments now proposing those afghans do is turn a program like the s i b program that are limited in scope, already severely backed locked. i'm really concerned now that the risk afghans that we've left behind are not going to be able to survive long enough to take advantage

of the programs to the government is now trying to push them into. this is going to be an absolute catastrophe. yeah, i hear that and i woke up to this news this morning and it's hard to contain my anger to it to be quite fair because the pathway that existed for africans to come to this country at risk afghans, people like the gain and hello john, who stood by america for the past 20 years. you know, that pathway was barely open in the 1st place aside, the program, you know, folks who work with the united states military movement visa program. yeah. correct . under 74000 people in that pipeline who are still awaiting processing and eventually accusation relocation to united states. there. $66000.00 mediterranean pro applications of which only $123.00 out of $66123.00 have been accepted while the government diss and ministration has collect the $20000000.00 in

fees from our african american community. one that is deeply under resource by the way. and so it's, it's, it's, it's deeply frustrating to see that ministration closed the door that was barely open at risk and vulnerable africans. and in the 1st place, i'd like to add some point. so no rush, what or i was saying, there's also the discrimination which is going on among the ukrainian refugees and african refugees. and it would be if i don't mention it, i wouldn't. i'm not mentioning it because i'm quite criticizing or i'm i'm putting the blame on a few quieting in duties. the way that atkins were brought into the united states were, the process itself was humiliating and, and the policies which were made towards atkins were shaming to the africans tours

standing by the us the government of yours and trying to implement the u. s. policies in ghana for 20 years. and these are the allies who stood there to protect all americans who went to have gone to them. and now they have come to us say, but they're being treated differently than the you can. you refer to a few gees and they're being discriminated against, which is not, i don't think it's fair. yeah, i want to add you guys what? hello. john paid. i am like kind of when i lift the sun, i was not sure i didn't know then, but i go i like, you know, i entered there and i didn't know my future. i'm also my distance, my destination like the next nation. and then i went to the house, so after we went all bunny for 7 months during the 7 months, i see the people money of the people with their properties and some of the doors on

public. and i've got some and bacon like me alone. so they were always trying to find a trauma, the depression, and if at that time we didn't know what will happen for our future nation based. and i was so sorry i just as this gives me one moment cuz we were getting lots of comments from our audience as well. what is your current status? he's going to be sense of not knowing what's going to happen in your future. what's your current status living in the united states right now? so after the one month, when the beatrice came to the to the one. yeah. so they finished. i came to the junior and then at that time i said one month, one month and they're small, come from center in virginia. i'm to finish my paper, work even by metric and other things. so it was really hard for us to either be peachy, lock, or country. we looked like it will print properties, everything, all of which is like for be a crappy buddy. talk to like, you know,

finish all of our paperwork. so now i think there's also been hostile, those people who are living in camps like they are, they don't have like, you know, that i to go outside of the camps and they are in depression. and also they are really truthful and they don't know what happens the future, which country will accept them. i'm the with else. well, i think they had like the use for not bring did the united states and all try to put the properties and also many of those children and also show up at school and they don't know what happened to the future. this is the basis for, i'm also trauma for all of us looking country on one side and also being in this long process is that all the time we see the difference between the ukrainian refugee or mac. now we're not the only person who's seen that difference between

what afghans are going for and what ukrainians are going through. i want to introduce you to achieve a mini, he is part of a group of investigative journalists. he spoke to a program called democracy. now quite recently, and he made it very clear that there was a distinct difference between ukrainians, though seeking us. i am an ass gods. let's take a look. why are people paying $575.00 for an application fee when ukrainians are they are offered a different program where they, there is no fee. i mean, that comes down to a decision made by the biden administration to say, for afghans. this is the, this is the path 40 monetary parole, but for ukrainians this is the path for humanitarian for all the discrepancy or the idea that here's a program that rolled out months after the departure from cobble. and it's only, it's still only being applied for ukrainians. ah, whereas afghans are still in this, you know, state of limbo, i just think a lot of people in this community in the diaspora, legal advocates,

and they just have a lot of questions to allow. i want to take you back to nasty lie. i'm going to give you the exact date. this is july, the 8th. this is u. s. president joe biden, making a promise. have been listened to this promise. tell me what you think about if he's delivered on it. we're also going to continue to make sure that we take on an afghan nationals who work side by side with us forces, including interpreters and translators, for message to those women. and man is clear, there is a home for you in the united states. if you so choose. and we will stand with you, just as you stood with us. when i listen to this as speech of her jo, widen, at last the air went when he was delivering this speech. i then and as i came to the u. s, i see how all these promises are not felt out,

let alone be everything that he said, but not even close to all those people who stowed by the us. they were brought to the usa. and even if those who came to the usa, they're still struggling with a legal status. as or as john said few minutes ago, people who are applying for humanitarian pro visas from afghanistan, only 100. around 100 of those applications were accepted out of 66000 applications. but when we look at the pile of cases, it's the same thing going on with a silent people who are lied for asylum cases are more than $40000.00 people who came recently from afghanistan and the only application to accept that were around 200 70. how, how was a, how that,

that explained the situation. it seems that people who came here with humanitarian poll visas, their reasons are going to expire next year. and they have no other way to settle here. either they have to go back or apply for asylum. and these asylum meetings, i am and as i lead in here, i got approved and i'm one of the luckiest ones but my asylum interview, it started at 8 am and it ended at 3 pm. it's a long interview and they have, they ask you a lot of questions and they ask you for a lot of documentation to prove what you're saying is right. but these people who came to the us a, they only came with one backpack like myself. and so many people burnt their document spurned their pictures and all those that be could prove it that they were

right. and just because they were scared of taliban and there and they were scared for a good life. but and hello, hello john, i would, i would add that, you know, like people, brenda documents, but the united states has adjusted parole and given a pathway to immigrant and diaspora populations in the past. it's done. so for the cubans, it's done. so for iraqis, it's done so for the vietnamese and right now and from the congress, does bipartisan bicameral legislation that would fix this problem. so people like, you know, and how long do not have to undergo their trauma once again at a us asylum process. by where they can just fill out an application with no fees and that they can start their life and journey here in america. so that the home that is called or actually for if i may just jumping a for a bait, just add a little bit more to what you're saying. the afghan adjustment could solve all the

issues pretty much immediately. how often can we say that this is an instant solution? earlier we spoke to chris, and this is what she told us about that. the bottom line isn't the u. s. me to promise protection any struggling to keep that promise? passing yeah. can just wanna get our new and neighbors, some real support to apply directly permanent presence, just like the u. s. is done for every other modern. we're kind of back in the population. these are the allies of america has longest war and they deserve more than red tape and bureaucratic housing act. an adjustment act is how we keep our promise, how we look to our values and how we stand by those who stood with us. so a new chief guess when i says they deserve askance, deserved us citizenship. they helped nato against the taliban. they risk their lives, r u. s. way so much tax income for the military, that it is involved in producing refugees abroad instead of supporting us citizens

. and they are very few refugees that the u. s. has to support. i'm just wanting just very briefly in the last one minute of i shall allow have you been treated in the us, the bureaucracy sounds hellish. but how about the people? while i, 1st of all i want to add, i wanna say like a 2 mana word, this comment a that i hope that the i use government thought the same way that you're thinking right now i'm regarding the treatment or from the american citizens. i was surprised and shocked with the great treatment that we received from the people of u. s. i myself, stay with the whole family right now. they are so lovely, so heart warming in so kind a to me and from the 1st day, which was on january that i'm staying with them or till now. and i more allow,

that is yeah, that is where we're going to leave a on a, a more positive note. but the bureaucracy and the legal system has to be sorted out for afghans who are currently in legal limbo in the united states. thank you. hello, nickina. all ash and all of your comments and questions on youtube. i'll see you next time. take care. ah ah. ah.

ah. safer than mm hm. and then international anti corpse excellence award boat. now for your hero, for science this the evidence is irrefutable. but america's climate change, denial stubbornly mistrust of the facts. despite soaring

temperatures, raging wild fires and shrinking water reserves the world's largest economy, it's still split along ideological lines. so can it ever reach consensus to avoid catastrophe? climate wars ought to on a jazeera what's most important to me is talking to people understanding what they're going through. here it is era. we believe everyone has a story worth hearing with her in london, the top story is allowed to 0. the head of the u. n z, atomic watchdog has warned that the physical integrity of europe's largest nuclear power plant has been violated because of the war in ukraine. raphael grossey and the team of experts traveled for hours through a war zone that came under intense.
