Expand The ChatGPT answer. It makes sense Quote The process of evacuating people from Afghanistan following the U.S. withdrawal in August 2021 has been slow and complex due to several factors: 1. Bureaucratic Challenges: Navigating the immigration and visa processes, such as the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program, has been notoriously slow and cumbersome, with extensive paperwork and security checks delaying approvals. 2. Volume of Applications: Tens of thousands of Afghans applied for evacuation under various programs, including the SIV, humanitarian parole, and refugee programs. This overwhelming demand has created significant backlogs. 3. Security Concerns: Verifying the identities and backgrounds of applicants to prevent potential security risks has added delays to the process. 4. Lack of Infrastructure: After the U.S. withdrawal, there was no longer a U.S. presence in Afghanistan to process applications locally. This forced applicants to find ways to leave Afghanistan independently to complete their cases from third countries. 5. Taliban Control: The Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan has made it more difficult and dangerous for those seeking evacuation. Many people fear retaliation and have had to hide or flee to neighboring countries, adding further logistical and legal hurdles. 6. Coordination Issues: Efforts to evacuate Afghans have involved multiple governments, NGOs, and private organizations, sometimes resulting in a lack of streamlined coordination. 7. Political Will and Prioritization: While the U.S. government has expressed commitment to supporting Afghan allies, shifting political priorities and limited resources have slowed the process. These challenges underscore the difficulty of large-scale evacuation efforts in the aftermath of a military withdrawal. However, advocacy groups and some governments continue to push for faster solutions. Expand Quote

Motown Bombers Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Just a reminder, it was a member of right wing bugaloo boys who started the rioting in Minneapolis. Quote
Motown Bombers Posted January 21 Posted January 21 "A rightwing extremist boasted of driving from Texas to Minneapolis to help set fire to a police precinct during the George Floyd protests, federal prosecutors said. US attorney Erica MacDonald said on Friday that she had charged Ivan Harrison Hunter, a 26-year-old Texas resident, with traveling across state lines to participate in a riot. The charges are the latest example of far-right extremists attempting to use violence to escalate national protests against police brutality into an uprising against the government, and even full civil war. The case also reveals the extent of the coordination between violent members of the nascent far-right “Boogaloo Bois” movement operating in different cities across the country. According to the criminal complaint against Hunter, on 26 May, as intense protests broke out in Minneapolis over the killing of George Floyd by a city police officer, a “Boogaloo Boi” based in Minnesota posted a public Facebook message: “I need a headcount.” Hunter, a resident of Boerne, Texas, which is roughly 1,200 miles away, responded: “72 hours out.” Another “Boogaloo Boi”, based in North Carolina, posted a public message the same day: “Lock and load boys,” he wrote, adding, “the national network is going off.” ‘Boogaloo Boi’ charged in fire of Minneapolis police precinct during George Floyd protest | The far right | The Guardian Quote
