The US and allies consider the situation after August 31 The US and allies hope that the Taliban will stick to their pledge to allow the safe passage of foreigners and Afghans after August 31. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken added that Washington and its allies have a responsibility to force the Taliban to adhere to this pledge.
The secretary added that the evacuation operation from the Kabul airport is nearing its end, despite the fact that thousands of people still remain there. Among them are about 1000 American citizens with whom the diplomats are in contact.
A problem that has emerged in recent days is the alarm of intelligence agencies that ISIS may attack the Kabul airport, which remains under American control.
More than 82 people have been evacuated from Kabul within 10 days, while the American general, Hank Taylor, says that more than 10,000 people remain waiting to leave. From Kabul airport "planes leave every 39 minutes". He warned that the number of people heading to the airport in an attempt to leave Afghanistan could increase.
The crowds want to leave because many fear Taliban retaliation for their work with international troops over the past two decades. Some also fear that the Taliban regime may impose hardline Islamic law, which oppresses women in particular.
The President of the United States, Joe Biden, decided to withdraw American troops from Afghanistan in April, after 20 years of war.
After the USA, NATO has also announced that all international troops will withdraw from Afghanistan.
