AfghanEvac Says U.S. Offering Cash to Afghan Refugees to Return to Afghanistan

AfghanEvac says the U.S. government is offering cash to Afghan refugees to abandon resettlement, warning many face serious threats if they return home.

Shawn VanDiver, head of the Afghan refugee advocacy group AfghanEvac, said reports indicate the U.S. government is offering cash to Afghan refugees at the Silia camp to abandon resettlement and return to Afghanistan.

VanDiver warned that many of those refugees would face persecution, violence or death if forced back under Taliban rule.
