Local Resettlement Agencies Welcome Kansas City’s Newest Neighbors from Afghanistan - IN Kansas City Magazine

The images from August 15th were vivid—thousands of Afghans ran across the tarmac, desperate to claim one of the coveted spots on an Air Force jet leaving for a neighboring airbase. Automatic rifles and a surly grimace were the uniform du jour in government buildings, as Taliban leaders displaced the Americans that had fought beside a generation of Afghan citizens. Families were separated, and hasty plans for reunification were made, somewhere in the hazy future, somewhere safe.
