Index – Abroad – Some won’t come back from Kabul, the minister was about to gossip

On Monday, amid scenes evoking the escape from Saigon on April 30, 1975, Western embassies evacuated their embassies in Kabul within a few hours. ThenThe radical Islamic Taliban movement has brought all of Afghanistan under its control as the culmination of an offensive launched in parallel with the withdrawal of foreign forces.

According to official reports, the eviction is as follows:

• the United States of America Actor Ross Wilson is currently at Kabul Airport. Diplomats leaving the US embassy in the Afghan capital had to destroy not only secret documents but also American flags.
• China The country’s foreign mission on Sunday warned Chinese citizens in Afghanistan to pay more attention to security, the embassy in Kabul will not close its doors. The stay was not particularly surprising after Chinese Foreign Minister Fang Jie received a Taliban delegation at the end of July and affirmed China’s support.
• Russia He said the Russian ambassador will meet with the Taliban in Kabul on Tuesday, after which they will decide whether to recognize the new government. They were informed yesterday that there were no plans to evacuate the embassy, ​​but today it was announced that part of the delegation may leave.
• Sweden He evacuated his entire embassy delegation on Sunday.
• the United kingdom Yesterday they announced that they would vacate their embassy within 48 hours.
• France At present, their embassy has been “moved” to the Kabul airport. However, since April, the country has been advising its citizens to leave Afghanistan.
• Australia Many criticize the fact that they waited so long to organize a military mission to carry out the evacuation. The Canberra government sent a 250-strong defense force to the area to conduct the operation.

And as far as the UK is concerned, the situation is also considered somewhat hopeless at the ministerial level, as evidenced by the video at least in which Ben Wallace, the head of the Defense Department, almost tears in tears that not everyone will return from Afghanistan and sadly the West did what it did .

Defense Secretary Ben Wallace ended his decision acknowledging that “some people will not return” from Afghanistan and “it’s sad that the West did what happened.”
