Washington, DC – Nasrin, a 27-year-old Afghan immigrant living in California, won’t be able to vote in the upcoming US elections. However, she has a message for the presidential candidates on behalf of fellow Afghans who fled the country in the wake of the US troop withdrawal in August 2021.

Many Afghans, including Nasrin, worked for the US and are now looking for the candidates to hear and understand their perspective.

With the chaotic nature of the withdrawal casting a shadow over US politics, both Democrats and Republicans have been using the event as a talking point in the 2024 presidential race.

Afghans like Nasrin emphasize the importance of the election for both America and Afghanistan, especially for women and immigrants impacted by the events in Afghanistan.

While Trump and Biden administrations have faced criticism for their handling of the withdrawal and the safety of vulnerable Afghans, the issue remains unresolved.

Key Points:

• Candidates need to address the needs of Afghan refugees in the US.

• Partisan divides impact legislation regarding immigration for Afghans.

• Advocates emphasize the need for proactive support for Afghan communities.
