LONDON: England on Monday said it would do the best to save more than 300 Afghans who helped the armed forces but now languishing under the new Taliban regime.
Overcoming the parliament, Prime Minister Boris Johnson failed to answer questions about how much English-Afghanistan left after the West Airlift was in a hurry.
Thousands of people managed to get out of Kabul on the Royal Air Force plane packaged, but he said 311 people were abandoned who were eligible for the relocation and policy of Afghan British assistance, such as translators.
“We will do everything we can to ensure that those people get a safe section that they deserve,” Johnson said.
Airlift is “one of the most spectacular operations in the history of the post-war of our country”, he said, vowed “the same business” to the house and educated Afghans who had just arrived in England.
Johnson demanded the Taliban commitment to respect to allow those who want to leave, and to respect women’s rights, if the militia wants to get access to billions of dollars in Afghan funds frozen abroad.
Speaking at the commemoration of 20 years from the 9/11 attack by Al-Qaeda, the Prime Minister pressed the Taliban especially to prevent Afghanistan from being a paradise for extremists to launch attacks abroad.
Johnson defended British and Western intervention in 2001 against critics, including in his conservative party, who said the return of the Taliban to power showed that effort was futile.
He said that the end of this month, he would pressure to the UN General Assembly in New York for consensus to account for an Islamic account.
“We will judge the Taliban with their actions, not their words – and use every economic, political and diplomatic lever to protect our own country from danger and to help the people of Afghanistan,” the British leader said.
