Four years ago, the seizure of Kabul changed everything. For Afghan allies like Hajimurat, who had worked shoulder to shoulder with the U.S. missions, it marked not just the collapse of a government but the unraveling of safety, stability, and any sense of a future.
On the fourth anniversary of the seizure of Kabul, LSSNCA honors Afghan allies, reflects on America’s promise of safety, and calls for renewed action to protect and resettle those still at risk.

In 2021, thousands rushed to flee Taliban rule and LSSNCA became the largest resettlement agency on the East Coast. We welcomed more than 6,500 Afghan allies and families to the D.C. metro area, providing the tools and support needed to begin life again.
Among them was Peghla, an Afghan woman whose life had already spanned decades of war, displacement, and perseverance. As an electrical engineer by training, she had been forced to flee her country, return, then flee again. She knew both the weight of fear and the strength it takes to rebuild a life from scratch.
