The Trump administration is reportedly discussing sending 1,100 Afghans who assisted US forces during the Afghanistan war to the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to nonprofit group AfghanEvac cited by The Guardian. The New York Times first reported the plan, which comes after Donald Trump decided to halt opportunities for these Afghans to apply for resettlement in the United States. The group, stranded in Qatar for a year, includes interpreters, relatives of US military members, and more than 400 children.
The Afghans were evacuated to Qatar for their safety after the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan following the US military withdrawal. Congo, however, is facing a severe displacement crisis, with the UN Refugee Agency reporting 8.2 million displaced people as of September 2025 and projecting the number could reach 9 million by year’s end. AfghanEvac president Shawn VanDiver said about 900 of the Afghans are eligible for US resettlement, while 200 are not.
A US State Department spokesperson told The Guardian that officials continue to work on voluntary resettlement options for Afghans living at Camp As-Sayliyah in Qatar, though there is currently no viable pathway for them to enter the United States.
