What Happens To Afghan Refugees Coming To The U.S.? Vetting Process Explained
A 28-year-old Afghan refugee at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas has been receiving online harassment after posting his food rations on Twitter. Hamed Ahmadi, a Fulbright semi-finalist, tweeted a photo of his meal ration with the idea to highlight the life of a refugee.
According to New York Post, Ahmadi’s photo showed two seemingly pale pieces of chicken, some bread and a few slices of fruit. However, his post gained much ire on Twitter as netizens responded with taunts and demands that he should be more grateful or return to Afghanistan.
“The point of that tweet was not ... to be complaining, to be very critical,” Ahmadi told The Independent. He said he wanted to prove to people that the life of a refugee was neither glamorous nor one to covet. “I was just describing a situation of Afghan refugees that are in the situation that they never really wanted to be in,” Ahmadi explained.
