The US plans to evacuate thousands of Afghans who worked for the American military ahead of September’s troop withdrawal, senior officials have said.
The plan could involve moving as many as 50,000 people to other countries along with their families.
Afghan interpreters who have worked for the US for years fear reprisals from the Taliban after the withdrawal.
As many as 18,000 Afghans have applied for US visas, but the lengthy process has been hindered by delays.
