Translator Mohammad Nazir was until recently hiding from Taliban and Islamic State fighters who had vowed to kill him for working with British troops.
Following a campaign by the Daily Mail Mr Nazir and his family are out of harm's way and living in a semi-detached home in Oldham.
Speaking to the Daily Mail Mr Nazir said: 'We are safe at last. In Afghanistan this could only be a dream but now it is real.'
According to the newspaper Mr Nazir, 34, worked with UK officials for nine years and as a result lived in daily fear that the Taliban would hunt down and kill him, his wife Safia, 27, and his five children.
Speaking to the paper about his relocation Mr Nazir said: 'My two oldest boys are already going to school and picking up words of English. To know that our children can study without the fear of kidnap, bombs and bullets is a blessing – an escape from the constant threat not just of the Taliban but of Islamic State. The threat they both pose is becoming greater, not less, and they have spies everywhere.'
Talking about his work with British troops Mr Nazir said that his duties included visits to camps holding Taliban prisoners. He said: 'These people hated the translators more than the soldiers. '[They] saw our faces, they will remember them for ever and, when the time is right, have their revenge because we will always be seen as traitors... I did not even tell my own mother that I worked with the British because it would put her at risk.'
It is understood by the paper that there are cases of another 70 translators which are being examined to see whether they can be given sanctuary in Britain.
