Afghan-Canadian Interpreters

Advocating for bringing our Afghan Interpreters and other Locally Employed Civilians of the Canadian Armed Forces (and families) to their new homes in CANADA.

[Afghan-Canadian Interpreters @AfgCdnInterp]

The political will isn’t there to bring home our Afghan allies and their families.

All I can ask now, after 1.5 years of inaction is

“Qui Bono”

So, who benefits from Afghans NOT coming to Canada?

Big takeaway here - mature democracies speak truth to power and hold themselves responsible

Canada: @SeanFraserMP We‘re looking forward to the resettlement of every last CAF-allied #interpreter. #ProtectLinguists

[DizstrMstr @DizstrMstr]

@CTVNews Will this mean our #AfghanInterpreters get shuffled off to the side AGAIN for yet another “priority”?

@AfgCdnInterp has done so much work, yet there are so many Afghans who directly supported the @CanadianForces in #Afghanistan 🇦🇫

[This Matters @StarThisMatters]

As Afghans who risked their lives to help coalition forces are at risk of facing violent retribution, less than a 10th of the 40,000 Afghans Canada pledged to help have arrived.

@sabaeitizaz talked to Wendy Long of @AfgCdnInterp about why:

@CitImmCanada Having trouble getting those 20K #Afghans to #Canada?

@AfgCdnInterp has a list of 10,000 people (1000+ principal applicants plus their family members) still trapped in #Afghanistan.

Feel free to call.
We’ll wait.

[Afghan-Canadian Interpreters @AfgCdnInterp]

@CitImmCanada Cool…so maybe approx 50 Afghan families made up that 350?…

NEW QUESTION: How many of those approximately 50 principal applicants were Afghans who actually worked with our @CanadianForces in #Afghanistan?

#askingforafriend

Just gonna leave this graph here…

[Afghan-Canadian Interpreters @AfgCdnInterp]

This makes it all worth it!

Sardar is finally settled and safe in his new place with his family after many long years of avoiding Taliban assassins.

If you heard his story you wouldn’t believe it.

Thanks to Wendy Noury Long and the @AfgCdnInterp

[Afghan-Canadian Interpreters @AfgCdnInterp]

We’ve heard lots of rhetoric. We’re cautiously optimistic but until we see a plan with some $ attached to it we won’t hold our breaths.

[Jasraj Singh Hallan 🇨🇦 @jasrajshallan]

The govt keeps failing those who served 🇨🇦 in Afghanistan. Due to Liberal-made immigration backlogs, Afghan interpreters and other support staff are left in limbo and their lives are at risk. The minister refuses to give any timeline on when the 40k refugees will come to 🇨🇦.

[Afghan-Canadian Interpreters @AfgCdnInterp]

We hope that we see some much needed action on this very soon.

[Erin O'Toole @erinotoole]

We have a duty to help those who risked their lives to protect Canadians.

[Afghan-Canadian Interpreters @AfgCdnInterp]

@Eftmaci Correct.

Here’s a nice visual of the official data to show the 🇦🇫 progress…

More graphs of the official data (and some NGO sourced data) available here:

There are hundreds of Afghan interpreters like Ahmad and their families stranded in Pakistan helped by an army of Cdn veterans @AfgCdnInterp @VTNCanada working hard to get the Cdn Government to do something.

[Afghan-Canadian Interpreters @AfgCdnInterp]

On this Remembrance Day, Afghan-Canadian Interpreters would like to thank the brave and dedicated Soldiers, Interpreters, Locally Engaged Staff and the Families of ALL those that served, past and present, and recognise their sacrifice.
Thank you
