Washington: United States President Joe Biden is attached to the August 31 deadline to complete American airlift, at risk of Afghanistan and other people who try to escape the Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
The decision opposed allied leaders who wanted to evacuate more time, and opened Biden to criticize that he gave up on the demands of the Taliban deadline.
The United States in the past few days has increased airlift in the middle of a new report on violations of the right to worry about the fate of thousands of people who are afraid of retribution from the Taliban and try to escape from the country.
Pentagon officials expressed confidence that AirLift could issue all Americans next Tuesday, the Biden deadline had lasted a long time before the Taliban finished their takeover.
But thousands of foreign nationals are unknown to stay in Afghanistan and struggle to come out.
The Taliban, who had won control of the country was almost 20 years after being overthrown in the US-led invasion after the 9/11 attack, insisted AirLift must end on August 31.
Every decision by Biden for a longer stay can revive a war between militants and around 5,800 American troops who execute a plane at Kabul Airport.
In Kabul, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said at a press conference that the US had to hold on to his forced deadline, say “ after that we would not let Afghans be brought out ” on evacuation flights.
He also said the Taliban would make Afghanistan from accessing the road to the airport, while allowing foreigners to graduate to prevent a large crowd from the masses.
Not immediately clear whether they will stop the Afghans escorted by strangers or in the process of being evacuated by Western countries.
In Washington, the White Press Secretary Jen PSaki said Biden, whose handling of hastily arranged evacuation has been criticized by the Republican Party and Democrats, was announced during a meeting of fellow leaders of the G-7 industrial countries he planned to stick to the time limit of August 31 .
British, French and other officials argue to extend deadlines, officials said.
“ He also clarifies that with every day of surgery in the field, we have added risk to our troops with the increasing threat from ISIS-K, and that the mission settlement on August 31 depends on sustainable coordination with the Taliban, including further access to the airport to the airport , ” PSAKI said.
Isis-K is an affiliate of the Islamic State in Afghanistan, which has been sworn by Biden to remain examined even after US forces left.
During the briefing on Tuesday, Biden said the longer the US lived in the country, there was a risk of acute attacks and increased by terrorist groups known as ISIS-K “, or Islamic-Khorasan countries.
“Every day we are on the ground is another day we know that ISIS-K tries to target the airport and attack US forces and allies,” he said.
PSAKI said Biden had requested the Pentagon and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to plan the evacuation contingency to “ adjust the timeline that became necessary.
“At the Pentagon, a spokesman John Kirby said August 31 left everyone to remove all Americans, but he was less specific about completing the evacuation of all the risky Afghanistan.
He said about 4,000 American passport holders and their family members were evacuated from Kabul on Tuesday.
“We hope that number will grow in the coming days,” said Kirby.
He also said the military had to start moving their troops and equipment from Kabul a few days before August 31 to come out completely at that time.
It is not clear how many Americans want to go still in this country, but their status is a hot political topic for Biden.
Some of the Republican Party sunbathed on Tuesday in the US seemed to obey the Taliban decree.
“ We need to have a top priority to tell the Taliban that we will issue all our people, regardless of what time originally set, ” said Rep.
Steve Scalse from Louisiana.
And Democratic Rep.
Adam Schiff of California, chairman of the home intelligence committee, told reporters Monday that `’difficult for me to imagine’ ‘wrapping airlift at the end of the month.
Biden decided in April that he ended the U.S.
war, which began in October 2001.
Former President Donald Trump had previously approved negotiations with the Taliban to end the war in May.
However, Biden waited until the Taliban swept power this month, following the collapse of the US-backed government and his troops, to start executing Airlift.
