You wouldn&#8217;t say to a soldier who had been stationed abroad that they didn\u2019t have UK work experience but with these guys, you do say that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through conducting the interview, Mr Barnham found out that one of the interpreters that he worked with is alive and well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI burst into tears when I found out, because at least one Afghan friend of mine is alive. I have no idea what happened to the soldiers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Alongside veterans, Dr de Jong set up the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sulha-alliance.org\/\">Sulha alliance<\/a> &#8211; a charity that works closely with Afghan interpreters &#8220;campaigning for their protection through resettlement to the UK from Afghanistan and supporting them building their lives in the UK&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She has had a long-standing interest in the \u201cmediators\u201d who are often forgotten about throughout history, as &#8220;their stories are not often told&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEven recently there was a new report on the withdrawal of Afghanistan and there are always reports saying \u2018this is how many British soldiers died\u2019 but often the Afghan interpreters died. They stepped on the same explosive device \u2013 they will not be mentioned in the statistic,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/cardiff-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/cardiff-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/cardiff-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/cardiff-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/cardiff-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/cardiff-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/cardiff-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/cardiff-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/cardiff-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/cardiff-1400x933.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/cardiff-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/cardiff-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/cardiff-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/cardiff-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/cardiff-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/cardiff-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/cardiff-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/cardiff-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/cardiff-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/02\/cardiff-1400x933.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image credit: Andy Barnham and Sara de Jong<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A large part of the project is educating people on what happens to these interpreters once they arrive in the UK and showing that there are individuals and families behind the news headlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We Are Here, Because You Were There&nbsp;<\/em>will continue to travel the country after its time in Wales is finished and Dr de Jong said she hopes to take it to the north of England next.
