Senior US Senator Jeanne Shaheen has fiercely criticized the government’s decision to close Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar, calling it “shameful” and “irresponsible.
” The camp served as a vital transit point for Afghans who risked their lives supporting US forces.
Shaheen warned that abandoning Afghan allies without a clear safety plan is a betrayal of American values and undermines global trust.
She emphasized that most inhabitants of the camp have legal pathways to resettlement in the US.
The closure leaves hundreds of Afghans in limbo, sparking fears among human rights groups.
There are growing concerns that these individuals could face forced repatriation to Afghanistan, putting their lives in grave danger .
