Afghan interpreter hunted by Taliban is stranded five years after fleeing
Plight of aide who served with British troops and is now destitute in Greece raises fears over prospects for other escapees
An Afghan interpreter who risked his life working with British forces is stranded and destitute in Greece, prompting concerns over the long-term prospects for those fleeing Afghanistan to other countries.
Mohammed Nabi Wardak served on the frontline in Helmand Province with UK troops between 2008 and 2011, but after fleeing the Taliban has been homeless in Athens for three years. Wardak, who commanding officers described as an “excellent interpreter” who “risked his life on many occasions,” is stranded after British officials initially refused to relocate him and then delayed his transfer because his risk diminished once he had escaped Afghanistan.
