Shawn VanDiver on #AfghanEvac under Trump Administration: The Afghanistan Project Podcast Ep. 75
Welcome to Episode 75 of The Afghanistan Project, where we cover all topics related to two decades of war in Afghanistan, and the fallout of our Afghanistan withdrawal.
Today’s guest is Shawn VanDiver, a 12-year veteran of the
U.S. Navy, and the founder and president of the #AfghanEvac coalition, an umbrella of multiple volunteers and professionals across the government and private sector who aim to fulfill the promises the U.S. made to its Afghan allies.
Shawn discusses the frustrations he felt with President Joe
Biden’s failure to address shortcomings in our Afghanistan withdrawal and policy, and his hopes for change under the incoming Trump administration.
Shawn also provides updates on and concerns regarding the
Priority-1 and -2 programs within the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, and the likely closure of humanitarian parole as a path for safety for Afghans. He notes the concerns that the larger volunteer community has about the second- and third-order impacts that could be felt by Afghans if certain refugee programming is cut.
