Episode notes

Do we know how many people are in there right now in the airport? I mean, they say thousands, but i don't know exactly how many. Outside the airport, i've heard it may be as high as ten to 15 thousand people. And this is all a result of this flawed visa system that has been advertised over the last few months by all of these embassies,. But implemented terribly.

The Afghan refugee crisis started long before the US withdrawal. Al Jazeera English correspondent Ali Latifi explains from Kabul.

This episode was produced by Haleema Shah with help from Jillian Weinberger, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Efim Shapiro, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
