The Trump administration is in discussions to potentially send more than 1,000 Afghans who assisted America’s war effort and relatives of U.S. service members stuck in Qatar to a third country.
The #AfghanEvac coalition, which supports Afghan resettlement efforts group, says Congo is an option.
Group head Shawn VanDiver said Wednesday that U.S. officials informed him and other organizations that discussions have taken place between the United States and Congo about taking the Afghan refugees that have been in limbo at a U.S. base in Doha for the past year.
The State Department said it's working to find options to “voluntarily” resettle the refugees in a third country.
It didn't confirm details about which nations were being discussed.
