Feb 14, 2022: According to a report by the AFP, US officials in the United Arab Emirates met with Afghans after a protest in Abu Dhabi this week and discussed their “potential” transfer to the United States, an embassy statement said.

The UAE was one of several Gulf Arab states that helped evacuate Afghans fleeing the Taliban after they seized power in August last year. Videos circulating on social media this week show Afghan men protesting in the capital, Abu Dhabi’s Emirates Humanitarian City, from where many who were relocated to the UAE now live.

The U.S. embassy said it was aware of “peaceful demonstrations” to express “concerns about future resettlement and processing for the journey ahead.”

According to a statement sent to AFP on Saturday, US officials met with some Afghans and discussed their “possible entry into the United States.”

“We continue to screen vulnerable Afghans before they arrive in the United States, in line with the dual goals of protecting national security and protecting vulnerable Afghans,” it added.
