AFTER ESCAPING THE TALIBAN, HUNDREDS OF AFGHANS LANGUISH IN ALBANIA IN A
PROLONGED US VISA PROCESS



By LLAZAR SEMINItoday

2023. Hundreds of Afghans are languishing in Albania, waiting for the U.S. visas
they were promised, almost two years after fleeing the Taliban takeover of their
country. For many, it's an emotional roller coaster. (AP Photo/Llazar Semini)


SHENGJIN, Albania (AP) — Almost two years since he fled Afghanistan to escape
the Taliban takeover, Firooz Mashoof is still haunted by the memory of his last
day in Kabul — the bus that took him to the airport, getting on a packed plane
and taking off as gunfire echoed across the city.

“The last thing I saw were the mountains around Kabul and the dreary sunset as
the Qatar Airways took off,” he said.

Today, thousands of miles from his homeland, the 35-year-old photojournalist and
former employee of the Afghan soccer federation, is languishing in warm and
sunny Albania. With each passing day, his anxiety grows over the delay in the
promised U.S. visa, casting a shadow on his dreams of a new beginning in
America.

For hundreds of others like him, it’s an emotional roller coaster. Some try to
find work and live with a semblance of normalcy but the concern and fear for
families back home permeates their days — even in welcoming Albania.

They are hopeful, despite the prolonged bureaucracy, and look to a new life.

In Shengjin, a town on the Adriatic coast some 70 kilometers (45 miles)
northwest of the Albanian capital of Tirana where hundreds of Afghans were given
temporary shelter, Mashoof often goes for long walks by the sea. He has found
work at a mall, an hour’s bus ride away.

The walks stave off panic attacks that he has been forgotten — or the “crazy
fear” for his family back in western Herat province.

“I was saved, ... and now I am to start my new life in America,” he said, “But
when?”

The Taliban seized power in Afghanistan in August 2021 as U.S. and NATO troops
were in the final weeks of their withdrawal from the country after two decades
of war and as the U.S.-backed Afghan government and military crumbled.

Despite initial promises of a more moderate rule, they soon started to enforce
restrictions on women and girls, barring them from public spaces and most jobs,
and banning education for girls beyond the sixth grade.

The measures harked back to the previous Taliban rule of Afghanistan in the late
1990s, when they also imposed their strict interpretation of Islamic law, or
Sharia. The harsh edicts prompted an international outcry against the already
ostracized Taliban, whose administration has not been officially recognized by
the United Nations or the international community.

As the Taliban pursued an ever more hard-line path, a severe economic downturn
followed, despite efforts by aid agencies to help large swaths of the
impoverished nation.

In the days of the chaotic pullout, Washington had decided to take in all those
who had worked for the U.S. government and American troops or for U.S.-based
media organizations and nongovernmental groups in Afghanistan. But over time,
the complicated visa process for Afghans who demonstrate they are at risk of
persecution became protracted.

More than 3,200 Afghans have stayed in Albania’s tourist resorts along the
Adriatic Sea. A NATO member, Albania first agreed to house fleeing Afghans for
one year before they move for final settlement in the United States, then
pledged to keep them for longer if their visas were delayed.

There are about 76,000 Afghans already in the U.S., where congressional efforts
meant to permanently resolve their immigration status have also stalled.

A top Albanian government official told The Associated Press that the
authorities in Tirana would not be against keeping Afghans more long-term in the
Balkan country, if they can find jobs. The official did not elaborate and spoke
on condition of anonymity to discuss the subject.

Last year, a small group of Afghans in Shengjin staged a protest, calling on
Washington to speed up the process of their transfer. Some women and children
held posters reading, “We are forgotten.”

“I don’t have the heart to protest because of the delay,” Mashoof said. “There
is nothing I can do.”

Fazil Mohammad Shahab, a senior soccer federation official in Afghanistan, came
to Albania in November 2021. Unlike many of the thousands of tourists who visit
Shengjin and other Albanian resorts, he doesn’t see the pristine coastline as an
unspoiled paradise.

“For me, it’s a place of waiting,” he said.

On a sunny day earlier this month in Shengjin, Afghan women holding scarves
clustered in small groups as their children played on the grass. Afghan couples
walked along the beach or sat at a nearby café.

Farishta Oustovar, a television news reporter and a former player on
Afghanistan’s national volleyball team, arrived in Albania in September 2021.
Within two months she found work — first at a hotel, then at a shoe factory and
finally at a childcare center.

“I need to feel that I can have a normal life,” said the 23-year-old, despite
worries for her family in Herat.

A popular TV presenter and comedian, 30-year-old Qasim Taban resumed producing
funny YouTube clips from Shengjin. He says he finds strength in humor and is
hopeful friends and fans back home can see the videos.

“We, here in Albania, and also Afghans back in Afghanistan need to laugh,” he
said.
