Afghanistan Evacuation – A Mission of Action, Transparency, and Integrity

In August 2021, as the U.S. withdrew from Afghanistan, Rise to Peace took action when thousands of Afghan allies were left behind in chaos and uncertainty. We didn’t just assist in evacuations—we were on the ground, gathering real-time intelligence, recording videos, producing reports, capturing photos, and delivering critical information to major global media outlets, including Associated Press, CNN, Al Jazeera, and many more.

Unlike any other organization, we had people on the walls of Kabul airport, documenting the crisis while actively working to get allies out. From the skirts of Kabul airport to inside its gates, to third countries, and all the way to the United States, we provided unmatched transparency and accuracy, ensuring the world saw what was really happening.

Our Impact in Numbers

• 500+ Afghan allies evacuated through direct efforts and coordination
• 9,000+ refugees assisted in Abu Dhabi through advocacy, data verification, and recommendations to the U.S. government
• Dozens of fraudulent cases identified, preventing illegal evacuations that exploited the crisis for profit
• Continuous policy recommendations to the U.S. government, NGOs, and investigative journalists to ensure accountability

Beyond evacuations, Rise to Peace played a crucial role in protecting the integrity of the process. We worked closely with the U.S. government to detect fraudulent cases, exposing illegal operations run by certain NGOs that turned evacuations into a multi-million-dollar business. We remain committed to accountability and are ready to provide more insights to investigative journalists or government agencies to uncover the full extent of this exploitation.

Though the evacuation mission has ended, our commitment continues. We are still working to ensure Afghan allies are not forgotten by providing policy recommendations, strategic analysis, and collaborating with NGOs and government agencies to support long-term resettlement efforts.

This wasn’t just an operation—it was a historic mission of truth, transparency, and justice. Rise to Peace was there, on the ground, making sure the world knew the truth while fighting to save lives.
