‘The US Embassy in Kabul is open, will remain open’

KABUL: The US Embassy in Kabul said that it would continue to operate in the country amid increasing uncertainty because the US continued to work towards its military withdrawal until the end of August.
“The US Embassy in Kabul is open & will remain open.
As directed by President Biden, we will continue to have a strong diplomatic presence in Kabul to carry out the various jobs we do with the government and Afghans.
We have no plans to close Embassy, ​​”Embassy Tweeted on Monday.
This happened after the Wall Street Journal reported that US officials had intensified planning for the emergency evacuation of embassies in Kabul because of the deteriorating security situation in the country.
This preparation took place as part of US Afghan withdrawal.
Violence has increased in Afghanistan since the Biden government announced his decision to attract troops from a torn country war.
Experts believe that the growth of clashes between the Taliban and Afghan forces triggered fears that the country headed for the civil war.
“The US Embassy constantly plans contingencies & how to reduce the risks to our people & programs.
We are aware of the security challenges to operate in Afghanistan, & we will adjust our presence as needed to overcome this challenge,” added the embassy.
Repeating Biden and Stand of the Blinken Secretary, the Embassy added that “the presence of the US military in Afghanistan ended, the US Embassy would continue diplomatic, humanitarian and security assistance programs in Afghanistan.” In the midst of a surge in attacks and attacks on the population and civil infrastructure in Afghanistan, the US Embassy on Friday called on progress on ongoing violence, which was mostly driven by the Taliban.
Earlier this week, the Taliban said in a statement that citizens of civil and non-military, diplomats, embassies and workers of humanitarian organizations would not face their security problems or risks.
However, CNN reported that there was a reason to question the statement, especially considering the fracture of the Taliban.
