Hundreds of former people of , Afghanistan ‘s , special forces and their families will be resettled in the , UK , after officials overturned a decision by the previous state, The Independent reported.
Armed Forces Minister , Luke Pollard , on Monday said 2, 000 candidates for relocation, recently rejected by the , UK, may have their documents reviewed once more after a , Ministry of Defense , assessment.
Many of the original special forces workers and their people were placed at great risk of , Taliban , punishment following the American withdrawal from , Afghanistan, with some forced into hiding.
In response to the release of new data demonstrating strong payments from the UK , authorities to Afghan special makes units, about 25 % of the 2, 000 applications are anticipated to be overturned.
Pollard told the House of Commons:” Officers have now confirmed that there’s evidence of obligations from the , UK , authorities to members of Afghan professional units … and for some individuals this demonstrates a clear career marriage.
This is information that goes beyond originally identified top-up bills and payouts for operating expenses, which do n’t actually establish an employment marriage.
” This is, of course, contrary to the place reported to , Parliament , by the prior state that no such evidence of strong job existed”.
Pollard claimed that the earlier government’s position was a “failure to access and share the right online records… across administrative lines” but was not a” aware effort to mislead” but was a result of a “failure to access and share the appropriate digital records.”
Some former Afghan soldiers who demonstrated ties to the , UK , in the wake of the , Taliban , takeover have been housed for years in military bases across , Britain. Ministers have stated that they will soon be relocated to appropriate accommodations.
