it is good to see al lineup of afghans telling us what it has been like in the past year for afghans he fled to united states hello, rash, nickina. hello. so thankful for you, sharing your experiences with us. i sure 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 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 nivia 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 came last year again, this one actually plug mother guy looks like a august 21. and i then do have 2 days. and after that i have a few days to albany. i paid for 7 months and then if i could, to virginia my mind and miss all comes with your back, that's 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 the from the in the area i came to the united states just like nickina last year on august 21st i got into the airport in cobalt 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 rights and the people who are left behind and i've kind of, we are asking on this program, guess how guns bearing in the united states, the ones who fled from afghanistan and now trying to make america their home. if you had to use a word work, would you use to describe this policy 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 $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. allows you could put some, some buttons will not work that are actually used, 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 experienced 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 broker. i think a 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. 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 to there's some empathy where people are watching an

understanding the 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 nice 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 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 this time for the people again thought i'm also for do people who can she like me to tell people i was waiting for the cases in other countries in the cubs like i was i b o bonia and many other countries. they're biting for process the cases, people who came to the united states and she was me the hard for me like as a woman activation, i've got a woman leaders and also as

a prosecutor for in the nation offline. and 2nd law, 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 backlog and also left the country. and it was really not easy doing my thing. it was just one week to all of the can. she was i wasn't, i've got a couple h once in a strict flow tro miles for all of us and we didn't know what happened to our futures, our pays for our families. then when i enter to the airport, it was also easy because the crowd are most of the sheltering and the people that i enter today. i stayed for night without food and also without anything you can imagine like it's street. and there was

a crowd of people you can we children and also one man, man. know it's carrie. can you describe miss so vividly this, this whole she was this a nightmare that continues to revisit you because i'm thinking now this is one year later that still stay with you. can you forget that moment? of course not. i think it will be for all my life, i can forget the day that the call will collapse and also that kind of time i want to call but they, i was in my office and 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 might not go up. they don't have to go to school and also to cation every day i woke up with the news from going on and also like the what was going on and i got it regarding the woman, my one, my life. i also wanted to add on nickina, and i totally agree that the trauma of

a couple of days of the fall of our can it's 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 the not only lost their country 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 are allies to the u. s. became to the us. but we have to, we, we have to and we are told traveling with a lot of things that are happening. and he starting from renting at a place for solve to continuing to go at our jobs. it's

extremely hard, extremely challenging. but i martin chat assured 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 new arrivals to and to need your lives as smoothly as possible. i'm just looking at what adam is saying on you, jim adams 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 today 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 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 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 well, it's been 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 ones who've been working to evacuate, resell 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 atkins do is turn a program like the s i v program that are limited in scope and already severely back 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 here and i woke up to the news this morning and it's hard to contain my anger to, to be quite fair because the pathway that existed for africans to come to this country at risk afghans, people like to 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 worked with the united states military went visa program. yeah. correct. under 74000 people in that pipeline who are still awaiting processing and eventual

evacuation. relocation to united states are 66000 humanitarian pro applications of which only 123 out of 66123 have been accepted. while this government dis, administration has collect the $20000000.00 and fees from our african american community, one that is a under resource by the way. and so it's, it's, it's, it's deeply a frustrating to see. the administration closed the door that was barely open to at risk and vulnerable afghans in the 1st place. i went to at some point, so no rush in when a rush 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 it. i'm not mentioning it because i am quite criticizing or i'm putting the blame on you. quantity in the future is 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 they sh. shaming to the afghans was standing by the us and the government of yours and trying to implement the u. s. policies in afghanistan for 20 years. and these are the allies who stood there to protect all americans who went to afghan, has them. and now they have come to usa, but they're being treated differently than the you can you refer to the few. jeez. 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. page. 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 anticipate and i didn't know my future. i'm also my distance, my destination like the next destination. and then i went to the house, so after the mental bunny for 7 months, the only to 7 months, i see the people on money of the people with their comedies and some of those problems. and i've got it. and they came like me alone. so they were going to find a trauma, the depression, and if and that tell you we didn't know what will happen for our future nation ways to make it i was so sorry, i just as this give 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 genia. and then back time i say one month,

one month and they're small, come from center in virginia. i'm to, to finish my paper work even by my cheek and other things. so i love it all up to the local country. we love like friends, property, everything, all of our she said like for be a crappy, i'm a buddy talk to like, you know, financial or our paperwork. so now i think there's also the hospital do people who are living in cobb like they are, they don't have like, you know, that i to go outside of the camp and they are in the ration. and also they are really well. and they don't know what's happened to the future, which country will access them. i'm the list. well i think they had like the use for not bring did the united states and all the challenges for the properties and also many of the children and also charter school. and they don't know what can happen to the future. this is the basis for,

i'm also trauma for all of us. little country on one side, and also being in this long process that we see the difference between the ukrainian 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 him and ask god, 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, 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. whereas afghans are still in this, you know, state of limbo. i just think a lot of people in this community in this diaspora, legal advocates, and they just have a lot of questions to allow. i want to take you back to nasty ly. i'm gonna give you the exact date. this is july, the 8th. this is u. s. president joe biden making a promise hath and 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 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 i'm 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, they're 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, it is a, it's the same thing going on with asylum. he says,

people who hold applied for asylum cases are more than 40000 people who came at recently from afghanistan. and the only applications were accepted were around 200 70. 0, how, how was, how did that explain 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 asylum, and here i got my asylum approved. and i'm one of the luckiest ones. ah, but my asylum interview. it started at 8 am, and at the end of at 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 there, and they were scared for a good life. but 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 court 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 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 is that the u. s. me to promise protection and struggling to keep that promise. having yeah, can just wanna get our new and neighbors. some real support 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 act is how we keep our promise, how we live up to our values. and it's how we stand by those who stood with us. so a new chief gas minor says they deserve afghans deserve us citizenship. they helped

nato against the taliban. they risk their lives, r u. s. way so much tax income for the military that 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 our show and how 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 lake erm to mana, who had this comment that i hope that the i use government thought the same way that you're thinking right now i regarding the treatment or from the american citizens. i was surprised and shocked with the great treatment that we received from the people of us. i myself stay where the hoss family right now. they

are so lovely, so heart warming in. so kind a to me and from the 1st a day, which was on january that i am staying with them or till now and am or 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 sorting out for afghans who are currently in legal limbo in the united states. thank you. hello, nickina alisha for all of your comments and questions on youtube. i see you next time. take care. ah. indonesia york investment destination, the world's 10th largest economy is busy transforming,

ready to beat your business. partner with a robust talent pool, politically and economically stable and strong policies being the powerhouse indonesia is confirmed by the g. 20 presidency. bringing opportunities for you invest indonesia now. oh, the land of the free americans never been a real democracy. the black people with no rich marriage, that democracy maybe excludes divisions and struggles in america's electoral system . a fight foreign against equal representation. and the democratic process is the country that learning how to be a democracy, but it's not there yet. one person, one vote on al jazeera, which site is winning chaos or control. what does the new forever proxy war mean for america and nato? as long as americans keep consuming prices are gonna keep going up. why didn't joe

biden, the inflation comic? how did we get so much raw? the quizzical look. us politics, the bottom line. this is a region that is rapidly developing, but it's one also that is afflicted by conflict. political upheaval. some of those who talk to elsewhere is saying that they fled after hearing that other villages had been attacked. what we do in al jazeera is try to balance the stories, the good, the bad, the ugly, tell it as it was, and leave the people who allow us into their lives, dignity, and humanity. ask you to tell this story. ah, this is al jazeera.
