Afghan refugees face uncertain future after evacuation

Thousands of Afghan families are being housed at a U.S. air base in Qatar. Many brought no more than a bag of belongings and don't know where they're heading next. Charlie D'Agata reports from Doha, Qatar.

What about our New Orleans citizens who have lost their homes. We have to think of our AMERICAN citizens too. They face an uncertain future too.

I'd be happy too to know I and my family successfully fleed from danger. They don't know where the heck they're going next but they are glad.👍🏾God bless them✝️

I have a message for president Biden.
Dear Mr. President,
As an American citizen I have a request that only people with valid approved visa on hand should have permission to enter US if cleared. Other Afghans without visa and passport should not be allowed to enter the USA cause they will missed up our community. They are not loyal to United States. Everyone is making fault cases. As a tax payer I don’t like this system. Everyone enters to US is not safe they have to be fully cleared or send them back to their country Afghanistan. We American should know that these people hate us. Who knows who entered. Please Mr. President don’t allow Afghans or others to enter.

We in America cannot even imagine what the Families that We Rescued from Taliban rule... saved Lives & Provided Hope & A Future where there was none...All Americans aside from North American Indian Tribes came Here with a Dream from every corner of the World⁉️ Some of Us Forgot or Flunked American History & World History in 12 years of School⁉️ Some of us Maybe didn't have Our Great Grandfathers, Papa's, Fathers, Uncles, Brothers to remind Us with their Stories of Their War Experiences & How many Air-Mail Goodbye Letters They Wrote From France....Germany....Pearl Weeks -Months to get to AOL with quicker communication after 9-11 in & on & on‼️ Since My Grandparents were young There was World War ...Depression....Then My Parents were young More War...More Sacrifice
Then there's My Brother Who Started In Granada/ Desert Storm Retired Officer but still serves Our Country when Called‼️ So Sick of All The Selfish Hate I'm Hearing from My Fellow Americans Who Forgot How They got Here & What Their Ancestors had to sacrifice to Get Here⁉️ First and Foremost We All are Americans First‼️

What happened to the 58 Muslims nations, why they do not welcome them and give them support and passports.
What happened to the Islamic solidarity with their brothers and sisters, Afghanistan has always been a failed state, and will never be a viable prosperous state, it will always remain a backyard for the Pakistani intelligent agencies, and their military.
It is time for them to take care of 38 million Afghanis.
Afghanistan is a tribal country, and ethnically divided, corrupted culture and no government system institutions or infrastructure.
Sadly it will remain the same, not a single country, or entire nations, will spend 2.3 trillion on Afghanistan anymore, the chance comes once in a lifetime, and they blundered. end of the story.

Why is it the Americans butcher a countries name? It's Qatar, not cutter. I think it is done purposely as a sign of disrespect.
