LONDON Britain

LONDON Britain: LONDON Britain and Denmark proposed Wednesday to give hundreds of Afghan interpreters who worked alongside their troops the right to settle in the U.K. and Denmark in recognition of the risks they face if they stay in their war-battered homeland, according to The Chronicle Herald. Britain, which contributes the second-largest number of troops to NATOs operation in Afghanistan after the U.S., is preparing to end its combat role there by the end of 2014. Prominent lawmakers and activists have called for Afghan interpreters to be offered settlement options and criticized the British government for failing to address or account for Taliban reprisals and other dangers and The plans were welcomed by activists in Britain who had argued the U.K. was turning its back on Afghan interpreters and giving them a worse deal than Iraqis who had worked with British forces.
