Without the backing of a recognized government or money to keep the lights on, Afghanistan's embassy in Washington will be shutting down in the coming week. The Afghan diplomats, appointed by the former government, are now left with one month to apply for residency or temporary humanitarian parole to remain in the US before being deported as they could be under threat by the Taliban-led government if they return home.
