As Flights Resume, Plight of Afghan Allies Tests Biden's Vow
2021-09-11
There are rumours that the Afghans were pulled off the airplanes at Mazar-e-Sharif airport and massacred on the tarmac by Taliban gunnies the other day, which would explain why only 200. But without evidence it will never be entered into the record.
[AnNahar] Evacuation flights have resumed for Westerners, but thousands of at-risk Afghans who had helped the United States are still stranded in their homeland with the U.S. Embassy shuttered, all American diplomats and troops gone and the Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
now in charge.

An estimated 200 foreigners, including Americans, left Afghanistan on the commercial flight out of Kabul on Thursday with the cooperation of the Taliban. Ten U.S. citizens and 11 green-card holders made Thursday's flight.
With the United States and Taliban both insisting on travel documents that may no longer be possible to get in Afghanistan, the plight of those Afghans is testing President Joe The Big Guy Biden

"I don't know what the issue is — is it a political issue, or they don't care about us?"

The answer is "yes". Anyone with a grain of sense and basic knowledge of Afghanistan should have known that any Afghan who provided assistance to US forces there after 9/11 was dead meat (along with family members) if/when the Taliban resumed control. Even in US controlled parts of Afghanistan after 9/12, Afghan collaborators & family were killed here & then whenever our Afghan enemies could find them. This neglect to plan ahead has many fathers going back 20 years now.
