(Al-Arabiya) Since the fall of Kabul over one year ago to the Taliban, Britain’s Afghan refugees are still struggling to form new lives. Most have still not settled into permanent homes and have been repeatedly moved from hotel to hotel by the Home Office.
Shoaib, a former journalist and researcher in Afghanistan, had been settled in Hatton by Hilton hotel, in Luton, for nearly 11 months. The Home Office then made the decision to move Shoaib across London to a second hotel in Crawley.
“When we [were] evacuated by great British troops … In fact, we are [thankful for the] British government that they saved our life and evacuated us from Afghanistan to [the] UK. We never knew that, or we never expected that we will stay in a hotel for almost one year,” he told Al Arabiya.
