UAE Deported Afghan Evacuees Despite U.S. Advocacy Promises
Trump pledges support while UAE quietly repatriated some refugees
Despite former President Donald Trump's recent pledge to support Afghan refugees stranded in the United Arab Emirates, diplomatic cables reveal that the UAE had already deported a number of evacuees back to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
The deportations raise concerns over the safety of those sent back, many of whom had previously supported U.S. military efforts and may now face retaliation.
