Washington, DC \u2013 El senador estadounidense de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, que forma parte del Comit\u00e9 de Relaciones Exteriores del Senado, emiti\u00f3 hoy la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n despu\u00e9s del final del proceso de evacuaci\u00f3n militar de Estados Unidos en Afganist\u00e1n:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cDespu\u00e9s de veinte a\u00f1os de combates que nos costaron miles de vidas y billones de d\u00f3lares, el presidente Biden finalmente puso fin a la guerra aparentemente interminable en Afganist\u00e1n, una guerra que comenz\u00f3 con objetivos claros y alcanzables, pero que r\u00e1pidamente adquiri\u00f3 un alcance vertiginoso en la direcci\u00f3n de la administraci\u00f3n Bush en una misi\u00f3n imposible. <\/p>\n
\u201cTenemos una inmensa deuda con nuestros valientes miembros del servicio, algunos de los cuales pagaron el m\u00e1ximo sacrificio, y sus familias, por todo lo que han hecho para hacer posible que Estados Unidos evacuara a m\u00e1s de 116.000 estadounidenses y afganos de Kabul en el pasado. 15 d\u00edas. Tambi\u00e9n debemos recordar las contribuciones de los militares que los precedieron, que trabajaron incansablemente durante a\u00f1os en un esfuerzo por crear un futuro m\u00e1s esperanzador para Afganist\u00e1n y el pueblo afgano.<\/p>\n
\u201cY a todos los afganos que, asumiendo un gran riesgo personal, trabajaron junto a nosotros para lograr ese objetivo, les debemos nuestra ayuda y apoyo. Por eso sigo instando a la administraci\u00f3n Biden a trabajar con las ONG y nuestros socios en todo el mundo para garantizar que utilicemos todos los recursos disponibles para apoyar la evacuaci\u00f3n de todos los estadounidenses y afganos vulnerables que permanecen en Afganist\u00e1n y corren un riesgo grave. Mi equipo y yo tambi\u00e9n continuaremos haciendo todo lo posible para ayudar a los refugiados que lograron salir de Afganist\u00e1n a encontrar la seguridad y la atenci\u00f3n que todo ser humano merece. Y para aquellos que permanecen en Afganist\u00e1n, trabajaremos estrechamente con la administraci\u00f3n para garantizar que las organizaciones no gubernamentales puedan continuar brindando asistencia vital a las poblaciones marginadas y que utilicemos nuestra influencia diplom\u00e1tica para proteger los derechos humanos, particularmente los de las mujeres y chicas.<\/p>\n
\u201cEst\u00e1 claro que Estados Unidos no puede decidir el destino de Afganist\u00e1n, y el resultado de este conflicto insostenible no podr\u00eda haber sido alterado por ninguna cantidad de sangre o tesoro estadounidense. Pero una retirada militar no significa una retirada total, y tenemos la responsabilidad moral de seguir ayudando al pueblo de Afganist\u00e1n, utilizando todas las herramientas civiles a nuestra disposici\u00f3n\u201d. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
El equipo de Merkley trabaj\u00f3 junto con el Departamento de Estado de EE. UU. para evacuar a ciudadanos estadounidenses, residentes permanentes y aliados afganos vulnerables, y continuar\u00e1 comunicando informaci\u00f3n sobre los servicios para refugiados a medida que est\u00e9n disponibles.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
