It turns out that 24 grade school students from Sacramento, California are still stranded in Afghanistan and unable to leave the country now that America has pulled out:
SACRAMENTO BEE – At least 24 Sacramento-area students are confirmed to be stranded in Afghanistan as turmoil continues in Kabul, according to school officials.
San Juan Unified school district staff said 24 students, down from from the initial estimate of 150 students, had not returned to campuses since the start of the 2021-2022 school year.
After reading The Sacramento Bee’s story about two students stranded overseas, staffers at Sacramento Congressman Ami Bera’s office contacted San Juan Unified and are working with the district to bring students back safely.
“Our office has been in close contact with the San Juan Unified School District, and have urgently flagged the students’ information with the State Department and Department of Defense. We have not received an update from the State Department or the DOD,” read a statement from Bera’s communications director Travis Horne.
It’s unclear when more Sacramento-area residents will board flights to return from Kabul. It’s been more than two weeks since Taliban leaders took control of country’s capital.
This is unbelievable. Why the students were there in the first place, the article doesn’t say. Perhaps they were visiting relatives this summer?
Either way, they are now stranded with no way out of the country thanks to Joe Biden. What a horrible situation, and all because Joe Biden is a coward. He’s got the biggest and strongest military in the world, yet he let the Taliban bully him into submission. It’s disgusting.
