The Trump administration is in talks with the Democratic Republic of Congo to resettle 1,100 Afghans who have been stranded in Qatar awaiting U.S. visas, according to an advocacy organization that works on their behalf. The negotiations are part of ongoing efforts to address the status of Afghan allies and their families following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. The proposed resettlement in Congo represents a potential third-country solution for individuals caught in prolonged visa processing limbo. Details of the agreement and a timeline for the resettlement have not been publicly finalized.
