Dey be gbege dey happen for Birtaniya o! As e be, some Afghani wey no gree give up don land for UK after di wahala wey dem face for dia country. Na because of bad report wey one officer mistakenly drop online, e make dem waka come Birtaniya. Na February 2022 this palava start when Taliban snatch power for Afghanistan, and them no stan for anybody wey dey work with di British government.
So, as di Taliban don take over, dem start dey threaten dem wey dey work for di British government. Dem dey fear for dia life, wey make di UK government think say dem need to save di situation by bringing dem back to UK. Na so dem design dis scheme wey dem dey call “Afghanistan Response Route”. Dis scheme don carry almost 36,000 Afghani come Birtaniya but e don face serious wahala.
Palava wey kick off na wen some confidential info about these Afghani people land for social media as one British officer mistakenly send email contain all dem details. Dis wahala don make so many lives dey under serious threat. Di officer try help some few people wey dey ask for asylum, but na im cause more wahala as di info leak all over di place, including people wey dey inside Taliban.
As di news dey hot, di UK government just wake up to di fact dat di data don leak since August 2023, wen dem hear say some people dey publish di sensitive info for Facebook. Now, dem people wey dey live under di threat of Taliban, dem dey fear wetin go happen to dem next.
Na wan judge wey talk say, “E fit be say some people wey don see di leaked info fit be Taliban agents.” Di British government don deny say dem get any plan to punish di officer wey cause di leak, and dem say di person no dey hold any position again. So di people wey dey expect amnesty, na dem still dey wait for di government to make dem position clearer.
For now, di UK government don spend over $535 million on dis scheme, and dem still dey calculate as dem need to spend another big money to fix all dis wahala. Biko, e be like say dem still get around 2,400 Afghani wey go fit land for UK after dis issue clear. More palaver dey unfold as many families dey still struggle, and dem no sure wetin dey happen to dem.
As we dey talk now, di former Secretary of State, Ben Wallace, don raise di alarm and dey call for more action to protect di Afghani wey dey under threat due to di leaked information. But di wahala no dey easy. Di judge wey don rule dis issue no say e dey affect di right of free speech, but di government still dey find way cover di mess wey don happen.
So, e be like say di road no dey easy for dis Afghani people wey dey try run from danger. Dem dey face so many challenges, and di government dey try to gree dem new life, but na so sweet talk no fit take away di fear wey dey on top dem.
