Iraqi Interpreters Abandoned by Britain and America

Iraqis who were employed by the British army and American military as interpreters were promised a saf-haven in other countries after their services had finished, but many have not been given the life that they were assured of, and many are placed in countries away from their families.

The Gurkas fought with Britain to win in Burma- my grandfather fought with them- without them Britain would have lost that phase of the war. Only now have lots of those Gurkas won the right to live in Britain and not all have been accepted. Britain and America used people in Iraq to work against factions, and promised to give safe-haven to those who fought with the Allies, but many have been sent back to Iraq just recently from Britain- this is what also hurts Muslims who see this as betrayal...
