Elite Afghan troops face deportation from Pakistan to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan | BBC News I #Afghanistan #UK #Pakistan #BBCNews

About 200 members of Afghan special forces, trained and funded by the UK, face imminent deportation to their Taliban-controlled homeland, the BBC has learned.

The figures gathered by a network of Afghan veterans reveal the scale of what one former UK general calls a "betrayal" and a "disgrace".

The soldiers fled to Pakistan, which now has said it will expel Afghan refugees.

The UK said it has brought thousands of Afghans to safety.
