year for afghans he fled to united states hello, rash, nickina. hello. so thankful for you, sharing your experiences with us. i shout welcome back to the stream. can you mind? i would it's who you are, what you do. hi everyone. and thanks for having me on. again, my name is on ashton, i'm a community organizer. i'm currently based out of los angeles. but what i do is build community and for the past 2 year or so, then has meant welcoming almost 80000 of our new neighbors. people like a and hello nickina. welcome to the street. would you introduce yourself to audience? tell them who you are and, and how you got to the united states in a sentence if that's possible, cuz we're going to explore that story in more detail in a moment. hello everyone. thank you so much for having me in your program. i a

i love to dive into anyone else august 21 and i then do have work days. and after that i have a one year need for 7 months. and then if i could, to virginia my mind at national, come from to your apps, extraordinary journey. thank you again for joining us on the show. and hello, welcome to the stream. will you tell our audience who you are 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 their from the area i came to the united states just like making last year on august 21st. i got into the airport in coal and i got here

around 23rd of august. i've been advocating for the rights of my people right now. in d. c. as an advocate thing for the women's right. and the people who are left behind and i've kind of stuff we are asking on this program, get how guns bearing in the united states, the ones who fled from afghanistan. and now trying to make america their home are actually, if you had to use a word, what work would you use to describe this past year? 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, d. c. 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 affordable housing, find affordable health care. and that's been tremendously difficult. hello, if you could put some, some buttons will not work 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 since 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 u. s. a,

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 about any of those. and they face all these problems and do not know how to solve all of them. only chew. there's some empathy where people are watching an 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 dark here. we'll get to where the people, again thought, i'm also for do people who can she like me to tell people water racing for the cases and other countries like i was i b o, bonia and many other countries. they're biting for process the cases. i'm also the people who came to the united states and she was me the hard for me like as a woman activation, i've got to what my leaders and also as a prosecutor for elimination offline. and then 2nd for made up of law,

it was hard for me to plug off and leave all of my achievements. and most of my all of works in san i'm just get one backpack and also left the country. and it was really not easy building. my saying it was just one week to all of the country and was i wasn't getting on a couple months in a trip for 2 miles for all of us. and we didn't know what happened to our futures, our pays 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. i stayed nice without food. and also without anything you can imagine like it's treat and there was a crowd of people you can we children and also one man, man. no,

it's the can you describe miss so vividly this, this whole choose this a nightmare that continues to revisit you because i'm thinking now this is one year later. does it still stay with you? can you forget that moment? of course not. i think it will be for all of my life, i can forget the day that the call will collapse. and also that guy told me to call, but that they, i was in my office and i had like to call a month to go over the country. and it still remembered its like a nightmare for me. but i'm thinking about school might not pulling up and they don't have to go to school today because of asian. every day i woke up with the news from gannon and also like the what was going on regarding the woman my one my life. i also wanted to add a new one. i totally agree that the trauma of a couple of days of the fall of our son is going to stay with every single ask and

for the rest of their lives. it's a moment, it was a day that the 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 u. s we came to the us, but we have to we, we have to and we are told, struggling with a lot of things that are happening and starting from renting it a place for ourselves to continuing to go. 1 at our jobs it's extremely hard, extremely challenging. but i martin sha assured that there are

a lot of people who care. there are a lot of organizations were trying their best to make it easier for the, for the new arrivals to continue your lives. as smoothly as possible. i'm just looking at what adam is saying on you g. m 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 hello got to united states as quote, humanitarian parole. it's not a typical way for asylum seekers to get citizenship. it's an emergency measure that emergency mesh 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 on ash will 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 africa and humanitarian pro program is absolutely devastating. it's devastating for those where you'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. with the governments now proposing those afghans do is turn

a program like the s i b program that are limited in scope and 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 the 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 visa program. yeah. correct. under 74000 people in that pipeline who are still awaiting processing and eventually activation, relocation to united states. there. 66000 mediterranean pro applications of which

only 123 out of 66123. have been accepted while the government doesn't 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 went to, at some point, so no rush, whatever 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 quain in do fuji's. 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 african tours standing by the us the government of years and trying to implement the u. s. policy enough kind of for 20 years. and these are the allies who stood there to protect all americans who went to have gone with them. and now they have come to, you would say, but they're being treated differently than the new reference refugees. and they're being discriminated against, which is not, i don't think it's fair. yeah, i want to be getting what? hello, john paid. i am like kind of when i left them on, i was not sure i didn't know them, but i go i like, you know, i enter today and i didn't know my future. i'm also my distance. my destination like this makes this the nation. and then i went to the house,

so i don't have the mental bunny for 7 months. during the 7 months. i see the piece on money of the people with the comedies and some of those problems. and i've got some bacon like me alone. so they were going to find a trauma, the depression, and if at that time we didn't know what will happen for our future mission 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 other one. yes. so they finished. i came to the genia. and then back time i said one month, one month and they're small, come from center in virginia. i'm to, to finish my paper, work in biometric and other things. so it was really hard for all the local country

. we love like friends, property, everything, all of our shipments have a place like will be across the very top office to like financial or our paperwork . so now i think there's also the hospital do 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 the ration. and also they are really truthful and they don't know what's happened to the future. oh, rich country where i except them, i'm the list i think they had like they used to bring it to the united states and all the challenges. probably. and also many of the children and also sure is there the school and they don't know what can happen to the future. this is the basis for i'm also trauma for all by looking country on one side. and also being in this long process is that all the time we see the difference between ukrainian. i'm also

refugee 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 a fire and ask odds as take a look. why are people paying $575.00 for an application fee when ukrainians are a, 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 for humanitarian 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. 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. so hello, i want to take you back to nasty lie. i'm gonna 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 men 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 a jo, widen,

last year when to when he was delivering to speech. i then, and as i came to the u. s, i see how all these promises are not full thought, let alone b a, everything that he said. but her not even close to all those people who stowed by the usa were brought to the usa. and even if those who came to the usa, there are still struggling with a legal status. as or as john said a 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 that asylum case, as is the same thing going on with asylum, he says. people who hold up lied for asylum cases are more than 40000 people who came at recently from afghanistan. and the only applications who were accepted were

around 200 70 a. how, how was, how did that explained the situation? um, it says that people who came here with humanitarian pro visas, their visas 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 a meetings. i am an a sally, and here i got my asylum approved and i'm one of the luckiest ones. ah, but my asylum interview. it's the started at 8 am and at the end of a 3 pm, it's a long interview. and they how 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 u. s. a. they only came with one backpack like myself. and so many

people burned their documents spurned their pictures and all those that they could prove it that they were right. and just because they were scared of taliban and they're and they were scared for their life. but and 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 are actually for if only 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 in a today. 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 having yeah, can just wanna get our new and neighbors. some really poor to apply directly from their presence just like the u. s. is done for every other modern, kind of back to me. these are the allies of america has longest war and they deserve more than red tape. and here again, adjustment and how we keep our promise, how we look to our values. and it's how we stand by those who stood with us. so a new chief gas minor 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're 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? well, 1st of all, i want to add, i wanna say like m to mana, i heard this comment 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 and 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. a selling vietnamese children walk into slavery in europe. one to one east investigates how the traffic is on a baiting justice. own our to sierra new voice, a heating up the airway. lot of chinese listeners was kimberly here,

but i really think in your own country shifting palate, a case, the rise of citizen journalism has changed everything. how do happen? it happened on social media and the undeniable impact of the mainstream narrative. australians went to the pole with those images front of mine is a war. it's very much painful. it's out in the media as well as on the battlefield . they're listening page to dissect the media on al jazeera. ah ah

safer than he'd been home and then international anti corruption excellence award, bought now for your hero. ah. oh, jan tina's vice president, christina fernandez, acuteness survives an attempt on her life. a man's been arrested. ah.
