British-trained Afghan elite "special forces" soldiers may be deported to their homeland
Members of CF333, an elite Afghan special force trained by British instructors and currently sheltering in Pakistan, could be deported to Afghanistan after London refused entry to the UK. This was reported by TASS with reference to BBC.
Britain's refusal to accept these "spetsnaz" is "a disgrace, a reflection of [Britain's] hypocrisy or incompetence as a nation," said Richard Berrons, a former commander of the British Joint Forces who served in Afghanistan for 12 years. "It's a betrayal, and the price of that betrayal will be the people who serve, die or spend their lives with us," Berrons said.
In 2021, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson told the British Parliament that the service of these Afghan special forces was "incredibly important" and that the UK would "take all necessary steps to ensure their safe exit."
Since November 1, Pakistan has been conducting a campaign to deport foreigners without visas and documents. At least 374,000 refugees from Pakistan have returned to Afghanistan so far.
According to the interim government of Pakistan, more than 4 million refugees from Afghanistan have come to the country under the Geneva Convention in the last four decades, of which 1.7 million do not have residence documents and should be deported.
