American woman plans to move to Afghanistan for Snapchat husband

Alex Sunny, a 26-year-old American truck driver, claims she will relocate to Afghanistan in August to live with her husband she met on Snapchat in July 2024.

Sunny says her Afghan husband cannot come to the US because of the US travel ban, so she is moving to live with him and his family.

She claims to have dual US-Jordanian citizenship, with a Jordanian father and American mother from Kentucky.

Her claims are unverified, and many social media users doubt her identity or suggest she may be a Taliban PR plant.

A TikTok user with Afghan advocacy group experience speculated four possible reasons for her move, including that Sunny may expect special status as an American.
