UK to speed up relocation of Afghan staff amid safety concerns
Al Jazeera
More than 1,400 Afghans have moved to Britain under a resettlement scheme, with another 3,000 expected to move under new rules.
Britain will make it easier for Afghans who worked with British troops to settle in the United Kingdom, amid rising fears for their safety as foreign forces leave Afghanistan, a minister has said. Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said it was “only right” to speed up the plans with former Afghan staff at risk of reprisals from the Taliban and other armed groups in the country. “With Western powers leaving, the threat is increasing, including targeted attacks by the Taliban,” Wallace told Sky News on Monday.
