Project Dynamo’s latest set of Evacuation Flights got another 47 Americans and Legal Permanent Residents out of Afghanistan last month.
The group’s Chartered Planes took off from Kabul and landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York on Dec. 18.
Despite that success and others, the group has not been included among the larger #AfghanEvac Coalition of more than 150 Veterans groups that have been welcomed into U.S. interagency planning.
The Coalition has worked with the State Department to help several Thousand Afghans, and Hundreds of Americans, including some of Dynamo’s Evacuees, depart through Land routes, and on State Department Chartered flights since Kabul fell.
The Coalition is also looking at the long-term picture and the Humanitarian needs of those left behind.
Group Leaders recently met with the National Security Council to discuss the way ahead.
Thousands more Special Immigrant Visa holders and at-risk Afghans, along with some Americans, are still in Afghanistan.
But in mid-December, the Taliban halted U.S. Government Chartered flights after Coalition Officials Refused to provide Seats on the Aircraft to Taliban Members.
Project Dynamo Founder, Bryan Stern, thinks the window of opportunity to help those Allies is closing fast.
They say they’re going at it alone because the Larger group is taking too long to act.
