Washington: The US has so far evacuated more than 3,200 people from Kabul, including 1,100 on Tuesday, the White House said, after the Taliban guerrillas seized power in Afghanistan.
“Today, US military flights evacuated around 1,100 US citizens, US permanent residents, and their families on 13 flights, 12 with C-17 sorti and one with C-130.
Now we have set the flow, we expect the numbers Increased, “said White House official on Tuesday.
“We have evacuated more than 3,200 people so far, including our personnel.
In addition, more than 3,200 total evacuated, we have moved nearly 2,000 special immigrants to the United States,” White House officials said.
Previously on that day, US national security advisers, Jake Sullivan said the evacuation problem was resolved with each respective flight.
“We will place 300 passengers on the average military cargo plane that comes out of the country …” he added.
“Second, in terms of people rejected: In general, what we found is that people can get to the airport.
In fact, a large number of people can get to the airport and serve themselves,” he said.
“There are examples where we have received reports of people who are rejected or pushed back or even beaten.
We took it on the channel with the Taliban to try to solve these problems.
And we are worried about whether it will continue to be revealed in the coming days,” said Sullivan.
“When everything stands now, which we found was that we got people through the gate, we made them line up, and we got it on the plane, but this was a matter of hours by hour.
It is something we are clear and very focused on the responsibility of Taliban To follow up on his commitment, “he added.
Sullivan said that the Afghan government and supporters, including many people who are now trying to leave, make a passionate case that the US should not evacuate the masses so that they trigger losses of trust in the government.
“Now, our supporting support for the government is clearly not saved the government, but this is the assessment that is considered,” he added.
Meanwhile, Republican Members of the Foreign Affairs Committee urged President Joe Biden to commit to continuing evacuation flights from Kabul to all American citizens and all his Afghan partners were safe abroad.
“For months, we consistently urged President Biden and his government to develop and implement a plan to evacuate our Afghan partners, to secure the US embassy and keep Americans in the country safe, and to manage the upcoming humanitarian crisis.
He ignored us .
We faced the embarrassing moment in history we as leadership failure by President Biden.
Stop full, “they said in a joint statement.” it is disgraceful that the National Security Adviser Sullivan and President Biden now refused to continue – repeatedly – to commit to continue The evacuation of Americans and our Afghan partners until they are all safe abroad.
We demanded President Biden immediately and openly committed to continuing the evacuation as long as needed to get all Americans and Afghanistan to do so.
Refusing to do it only functions to reduce I US credibility as a moving advanced partner, “said the Republic of Parliament.
“This is a terrible emergency, humanity that requires our direct attention,” a group of other parliamentarians in a letter to Biden.
“We wrote with a great urgency about the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan.
We relate to many US citizens, Afghan ally and their families, women, employees of NGOs, journalists, and so many other people – trapped in Afghanistan, afraid of life They and the future of the country, “they wrote.
“This is this moral administrative obligation to utilize all available resources to help many people as possible for safety in the United States.
There is no time to be wasted,” said MPs.
The brutal war in Afghanistan reached the moment of river areas on Sunday when the Taliban guerrillas closed in Kabul before entering the city and took over the Presidential Palace, forcing fighting the President of Ashraf Ghani to join the country and foreigners to escape from the country.
