The Resettlement Scheme Was Abolished in The UK Under a Secret Plan of Thousands of Afghans
Since the formation of the Taliban government, 1900 Afghan helpers and their 3,600 families have been brought to the UK
It has been decided to end the plans to settle the British plan for the British Army under a secret plan.
According to the World News Agency, the secret project was launched after the Taliban government was established in Afghanistan.
The purpose was to settle the British residents who support the British military in the Afghan war, in view of the threat of possible lives by the Taliban government.
British Defense Minister John Haley told Parliament today that 900 Afghan helpers and 3,600 members of their family were secretly brought to the UK under the plan.
He revealed that an email made mistakenly leaked the personal information of about 19,000 Afghans. These were the people who applied for asylum in the UK.
The British Defense Minister apologized for the mistake, saying that it pose a threat to these families’ lives in Afghanistan as they came to the Taliban.
He added that after the data leak, the then Conservative government formed a secret project “Afghan Response Route” (ARR), which was obtained from the court to keep a super -inhale.
The British Defense Minister added that however, the present government of the Labor Party not only decided to bring the scheme to the public but also abolished the judicial super in the injunction.
British Defense Minister Haley said, “I am concerned why such a important scheme was hidden from Parliament and the public.”
Defense Minister John Haley announced the termination of the scheme, but the first 6,900 people are expected to be transferred before the scheme is closed.
Remember that the total cost of this secret project is £ 850m (about US $ 1.1 billion).
In addition, 36,000 Afghans have already been settled in the UK under other public schemes.
An independent review concluded that despite the data leaks, the Taliban’s risk of retaliation is less, as they may have already identified these individuals.
Britain sent troops in Afghanistan to take action against al -Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan after the 2001 attacks in 2001.
At one time there were about 10,000 UK troops in Afghanistan, mostly in the southern province of Helmand.
It should be noted that the UK ended its combat operations in Afghanistan in 2014.
