Guests: Mohammed, Afghan human rights activist, and Nicholas Keung, immigration reporter
Nearly one year after the U.S. and NATO withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Taliban takeover, thousands of Afghans are still trapped in the country, waiting for Western visas. Many of them are in danger precisely because they were allies of the West and now face repercussions at the hands of the Taliban. While Canada made a commitment to resettle 40,000 Afghans through a special immigration program, Star sources have revealed that the window is closing and the program could wrap up soon. We take a look at what’s going on and what it could mean for Afghans who are still stuck in limbo, fearing for their lives as a price for helping Canada.
