Many Ugandans stuck in Afghanistan
Ugandans are among the thousands of people who are still stuck in Afghanistan after the Taliban’s captured power.
“The road, which goes to the airport, is blocked. Afghans cannot take that road to go to the airport, but foreign nationals are allowed to take that road to the airport,” Mujahid said.
“We are not allowing the evacuation of Afghans anymore and we are not happy with it either. The doctors and academics of Afghanistan should not leave this country; they should work in their own specialist areas. They should not go to other countries, to those Western countries,” Mujahid said.
However, the development might also affect Ugandans still stranded in Afghanistan since many of them hoped to use the opportunity of the US evacuating Afghans to return home.
It remains to be seen what steps the Ugandan government will take to ensure its citizens are returned home safely.
