Silah Report has studied the small arms history, traditions and culture of Middle East & North Africa for many years. Our founder Miles Vining is an Afghanistan veteran and has worked with organisations as a civilian.
The US’ hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan has created a humanitarian nightmare centred around a chaotic evacuation from Kabul.
There are thousands of Afghans who assisted ISAF forces who are now seeking a way out of the country and in fear of their lives.
Here are some links to organisations active in trying to assist Afghans:

We also encourage US citizens to contact their elected representatives directly, you can find their contact details via:

While the majority of Afghans eligible for evacuation worked with US forces other nations are also evacuating those who assisted them. We urge international readers to seek ways to lobby and assist in their countries.
