More than 1,000 waiting for flight permits to leave the city of Afghanistan Mazar-i-Sharif -Organizer

WASHINGTON: About 1,000 people, including Americans, have been trapped in Afghanistan for days waiting for permission for their charter flight, an organizer told Reuters, blaming delays in the US State Department.
Confusion is the latest flash point after the chaotic US military withdrawal completed after the Taliban Islamic guerrillas confiscated power in Kabul on August 15, after the government supported by the West collapsed.
Annoyed by the delay, the organizer said the Department of Foreign Affairs had failed to notify the Taliban his approval for the departure of flights from the international airport in the North City of Mazar-I-Sharif or validating landing sites.
“They need to be responsible for placing the lives of these people in danger,” said organizers, who are looking for anonymity because of the sensitivity of this problem.
Reuters cannot independently verify account details.
A US official, spoke on anonymous requirements, challenging the idea that Americans were at risk, said the US government “has not confirmed every American at Mazar-I-Sharif tried to leave the airport.” Asked about Charter flights, a spokesman for the State Separtment did not overcome specific accusations but emphasized the United States did not have personnel on the ground and did not have reliable facilities to confirm the basic details of the flight.
It includes verifying the number of US citizens and other people on board, the accuracy of the remaining manifes or “where they plan to land, among many other problems.” The spokesman added, “We will hold the Taliban to promise to let people leave Afghanistan free.” Previously on Sunday, the Republic of the Republic of the US Foreign Affairs Committee, Mike Mccaul, told “Fox News Sunday” that six planes were trapped at the Mazar-i-Sharif Airport with Americans and Afghan translators, could not take off as they had not Receive Taliban permission.
He said the Taliban held the passenger “hostage demands,” but some sources denied the account, talking to Reuters with the terms of anonymity.
Representative US Representative of the Republican Party, Mike Waltz, asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to work with non-government groups, he said trying to clean charter flights to evacuate American and Afghan risks.
There are modest charter flights “available, funded, and ready to fly” The people came out, Waltz told the Secretary of the State Antony Blinken in a letter, citing comments several NGOs.
Two invasions for two decades of the United States in Afghanistan peaked in a hasty airlift left from thousands of US Afghans.
Washington finished withdrawals on August 31.
