1400 #FireWatch update: Unfortunately Congress continued with their own selfish agenda and continued to lie to us throughout this process. Over 78,000 Afghans remain with uncertain future. Efforts by Veterans, everyday Americans, Afghans, Afghan Americans and Allies were ignored.

سوالات زیادی در مورد SIV، P1، P2 و برخی موارد پناهندگی دیگر وجود دارد. همه اینها را نمی توان در پیام های خصوصی من پاسخ بتم، بنابراین فردا شب ساعت 9 شب به وقت افغانستان به طور زنده روی پلت فرم X می آیم تا به همه سؤالات شما پاسخ مناسب بدهم.

[Safi Rauf @saf_rauf]

د SIV، P1، P2، او ځینو نورو کډوالو قضیو په اړه ډیرې پوښتنې شتون لري. دا ټولې زما په شخصي پیغامونو کې ځواب نشي ورکول کیدی، نو زه به سبا شپه د افغانستان په وخت د شپې ۹ بجې په X پلیټ فارم کې ژوندۍ راشم ترڅو ستاسو ټولو پوښتنو ته په مناسب ډول ځواب ووایم.

Given the current trajectory of Special Immigrant Visas, it is highly unlikely that a significant number will be granted within the next four years. Moreover, if the administration remains Republican following the next presidential election, it is unlikely that the situation will improve even within the next eight years. Consequently, this may mark the end of SIV, P1, P2, family reunification, and support for our Afghan allies.

د متحده ایالاتو د بهرنیو چارو وزارت به په راتلونکو څو ورځو کې کیر CARE وتړي. د کیر CARE کارمندانو ته امر شوی چې نوي دندو ته لاړ شي.

[Safi Rauf @saf_rauf]

وز��رت امور خارجه ایالات متحده کیر CARE را در چند روز آینده تعطیل خواهد کرد. به کارمندان کیر CARE دستور داده شده است که به وظایف جدید نقل مکان کنند.

Just 24 hours left until the #Pakistan government's forced deportation deadline. People cant sleep, torn between a dire choice of life and death. We are acutely aware that returning means death for far too many.

Here is @josephazam with @saf_rauf @ZabihUllahR and, of course @jonstewart during the @AAAFireWatch last year.

And 1 year later...
We are still asking that the promise made to our #AfghanAllies be kept.

Which starts with passing the #AfghanAdjustmentAct

1 year ago today @AAAFireWatch
These 2 photos were taken at 1230am and 630am....
#AfghanAllies and #veterans trying at all hours to get @SenateGOP and @SenateDems to #keepourpromise

1 year ago today on @AAAFireWatch
As word began to spread, our numbers quickly started to grow.
What we already knew was becoming apparent.
There was a lot of #supportAAA to be found

The constant in the effort, was my brother @AneesKhalil_HFC
Day and night, he was there.

[James Powers @Justavet11]

1 year ago @AAAFireWatch
More and more people began to #showup
@saf_rauf at this point had to be ruining on sheer determination. I know it wasnt on sleep. Because there was none to be had.
We were doing everything we could get more #SupportAAA to pass the bill

[James Powers @Justavet11]

This is me 1 year ago....
Showing up for @AAAFireWatch
I woke up to videos of @saf_rauf and @mattczeller outside the Capitol

With no hesitation I packed a bag and left for DC.

1 year later... still trying to #keepourpromise

[Safi Rauf @saf_rauf]

It's disheartening that we haven't made significant progress in passing the AAA over the past year. It's high time we demonstrate a stronger commitment to our veterans and national security. The AAA is intricately linked to both these crucial issues, and addressing it should be a priority.

[Safi Rauf @saf_rauf]

The Afghan Adjustment Act was reintroduced yesterday by Senator Klobuchar and 9 cosponsors. Let’s hope it makes it through this time.

Sen. Wicker, Roger F. [R-MS]

[Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen]

The U.S. made a commitment to the brave Afghans who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with American troops throughout 20 years of war. We promised to protect them, just as they did for us.

This amendment ensures the SIV program will continue to be a lifeline to support our allies. The full Senate must approve this legislation to ensure we deliver on our promises and promote our national security interests.

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

Just gave floor speech to include the bipartisan Afghan Adjustment Act amendment on defense bill. It should be called the COVENANT bill. Keeping our promises to those who stood with us. We have the votes. We need the vote.

2/3 “Each passing day we allow the DEADLY status quo to remain—a non-functional Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program and a Taliban campaign to hunt down and murder our allies—is a GIFT TO OUR ENEMIES and their HEINOUS efforts."
