Biden for evacuations from Afghanistan: One of the biggest, most difficult flights in history

At a time when developments in Afghanistan are creating new data in the diplomatic field, US President Joe Biden stressed that the US is in contact with the Taliban, while clarifying that in the event of the attack, there will be an immediate and harsh response from Washington.

“We have made an important process”, says Beden, stressing that the US has secured Kabul airport and is continuing with the evacuation of civilians.

This is one of the biggest, most difficult flights to history”, he says.

Allow me to be clear. We'll let him go home, any American who wants to come back”, he vows.

I can't promise what the final outcome will be because of the risks on the ground. We've seen shocking images of people in panic running into despair. They're terrified. At least 5,000 American troops are deployed at Kabul Airport, with the number expected to rise to 6,000. ”

The American president also focused on the major operation for the safe evacuation of American citizens from Afghanistan.

While President Beden earlier blamed Afghans for the United States' failure to evacuate more allies before the surprise takeover of power by the Taliban this month, US officials told the Associated Press that American diplomats had officially demanded weeks earlier that the Biden administration step up evacuation efforts.

Tens of thousands of people remain to be evacuated before the August 31st deadline of the United States to withdraw its troops from the country, although the pace grew rapidly. A defence official said about 5,700 people, including about 250 Americans, were evacuated from Kabul with 16 C-17 transport planes. During the previous two days, about 2,000 people a day were transported by plane.
