A sense of panic amongst those trying
to escape know behind this former British army interpreter one document from
the British army. The British government says no one's life should be put at
risk because of their support for the UK's efforts in Afghanistan. Relocate as
many eligible afghans as possible so were other countries these are the
last days of those efforts.
The emergency evacuations in Afghanistan U.S President Biden said the u.s is on pace to finish this by that August 31st deadline to get out of Afghanistan. The U.S secretary of state said that efforts to get people out will go on after has left that's right that the administration was looking at detailed plans to continue consumer services to facilitate those departures even after the military airlift ends although.
The situation at the airport stay calm orders this Taliban guard there's no calm here not in a crowd too big to count too big to control the days are numbered before the u.s pulls its soldiers from this airfield before their last evacuation flight lifts off panic is rising most afghans have waited here for days. The British government and others have pleaded for more time that's been rejected by the Taliban.
The military also that the Taliban had
committed to continuing providing safe passage for those who were part of the
evacuation an effort that would be Americans also those Afghans who
worked with them and third-country nationals the Afghan and Taliban have
said that they would prevent afghans from leaving and a state department
official about that said that was probably open to interpretation perhaps aimed
at crowd control, they did have these commitments, and a Taliban spokesman
has tweeted that those with legal documents will be allowed to leave on
commercial flights, the reports from the ground are that afghans with legal documents
are already sometimes struggling to get through to the airport they brave the way through when the Taliban are in charge.
