At-risk Afghan teacher feels 'abandoned' by UK
Just four of the 1,500 at-risk Afghan citizens who were eligible for resettlement following the Taliban takeover in 2021 have arrived in the UK. The BBC has spoken to Zuhra, who is just one of thousands who feel like they have been abandoned in Afghanistan.
Zuhra became widely recognised after starring in the British Council's promotional videos on Facebook and YouTube after being chosen as the face of its "English for Afghans" project. Her online fame has exposed her to extreme danger. She is living in hiding with her family, moving from place to place to avoid discovery, in fear for their lives.
Despite the risks the teachers faced from the Taliban, the British Council did not encourage them to apply for evacuation until five days before the last flight left Kabul. A Home Office spokesman said: "The UK has made one of the largest commitments to support Afghans of any country and, so far, we have brought almost 23,000 vulnerable people to safety, including thousands of people eligible for our Afghan relocation schemes.
