NATO attributed the slow evacuation from Afghanistan to the risk of collisions

by time news

A NATO spokesman said the evacuation from Afghanistan of foreigners and Afghan citizens who worked in embassies and international humanitarian groups is proceeding slowly due to the risk of clashes. According to NATO, since August 15, when the Taliban (a terrorist movement banned in the Russian Federation) announced control over Afghanistan, about 12,000 people have left the country.

“The evacuation process is slow because it is risky because we do not want any clashes involving the Taliban or civilians outside the airport,” a NATO spokesman told Reuters. At the same time, the Taliban said that Western countries “could develop a better evacuation plan.”

On August 20, US President Joe Biden announced that the United States had evacuated approximately 13,000 people from Afghanistan since August 14. He promised that he would do everything possible to evacuate people who want to leave Afghanistan. According to him, the evacuation of people from Afghanistan is the largest air bridge in history.
