Afghan interpreters say Australian visa offer is not enough to get them to safety
Government has granted 90 visas to Afghans who worked with Australian forces, but they say they need military flights to flee revenge of the Taliban
The federal government says it has granted an extra 90 visas since the beginning of May to Afghan nationals who have worked alongside Australian forces, but interpreters still in the country warned there were still many obstacles to them escaping the revenge of the Taliban.
Guardian Australia understands officials have offered to help the Afghans get on commercial flights to Australia in the near future, but one interpreter still in Afghanistan said he knew of about 15 colleagues who had been approved for resettlement but were unable to fly in the near future because the Covid pandemic meant no flights were available.
