US State Dept Hasn’t Contacted Some Americans Left Behind In Afghanistan

Project Exodus Relief cofounder, Mike Edwards, spoke to Alex Ward with Politico: working to put at-risk Afghans on State Department-sponsored flights out of the country is “almost impossible, like a ghost we can’t get a hold of.” He discusses their rescue efforts for Americans left behind in Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, the United States Government has stolen 20 million dollars in processing fees for the 66, 000 Humanitarian Parole visas that

  Our Eyes on the Mission: One Year Later
  I’ve spent some significant time over the last weeks thinking, sometimes unwillingly, about this anniversary. Iwas there, in Kabul, in August 2021 with my friends both American and Afghan, many of whom I consider forever brothers. We all believed in what we were doing. But more, we believed in each other. Every day, we checked
