Prince William called Britain "welcoming" refugees, "frustrated" by the large number of Afghans "abandoned".

According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on the 3rd, Britain's Prince William said that he was "frustrated" that the British evacuation operation in Afghanistan failed to transfer more people to safety. Prince William, in a meeting with Afghan refugees evacuated by Western troops last year, expressed his concern that so many Afghans were "abandoned."

A total of 15,000 British troops were reportedly evacuated, but thousands remain in Afghanistan, including hundreds of translators who had worked for British troops who had been granted or were applying to travel to Britain when the former Afghan government collapsed last August.

A refugee who met Prince William at a hotel in Leeds, England, told The Times, "He (Prince William) said he was frustrated by the evacuation in August and said he hoped we would bring more people to the UK." Prince William, who also questioned why some 12,000 Afghans remained trapped in hotels in the months after their arrival, told the refugees they were "very welcome" in the UK, adding: "The most important thing is that you are safe now." You have a bright future. ”

Last year, Prince William helped an Afghan officer he met at sandhurst military academy and his family leave Kabul. He asked his attendants to call so that the former cadet could be taken to safety. The officer and his family have allegedly been released and flown to Britain.

Fazar, a former Afghan translator who worked for the British army for two years, now wants British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace to give him a New Year's gift: "security". Last month, he relied on organizers of cross-border smuggling to leave Afghanistan and arrive in Turkey. In a video he recorded, he pleaded with Wallace: "I personally ask you to allow me to come to England, to ask you to give me a peaceful future — and this is in your hands." In an interview with the Daily Mail earlier, he said, "I am very desperate and scared because if I am found in Turkey, I will be sent back to face the Taliban." Because I had worked for the British Army, my life was in danger. Britain helps refugees who have done nothing for Britain, but puts at risk those who stand shoulder to shoulder with them against the Taliban. Please don't abandon us. (Edit: HHJ)
