I have more to say about #Afghanistan my first video has been spammed by the radical right, they better try a lot harder than that to silence this officer deployed with the 1st Battalion, 87th Infantry of the 10th Mountain Division, during the spring of 2020. Fighting the Taliban

Deputy SecState Sherman says the US has seen reports that the Taliban are blocking Afghans from reaching the Kabul airport. US officials are making clear to the Taliban that the US expects them to allow all Americans & Afghans to get to the airport “safely & without harassment."

Thousands of Afghans who had worked for the U.S. Embassy and various international aid organizations have been unable to reach the airport for evacuation flights because of Taliban checkpoints around the airport entrances. #Afganisthan newsbreakapp.com/n/0bUZbV2H?…

The real issue in Afghanistan is what happens next because right now Haqqani network/Pakistani ISI has taken over Afghan intel services, can blackmail/target Afghans for years. Taliban knew precisely which houses to hit in first 12 hrs, almost imposs in a city w/o exact addresses

Considering that the Taliban just released tens of thousands of prisoners, it would be a great time to stop letting anyone who shows up cross the Southern Border.

Taliban kill two civilians, injure dozen others in Jalalabad where hundreds of Afghans staged protests, took down the Taliban flag and reinstalled the Afghanistan flag 🇦🇫 at a city centre despite the firing.
Looks like Taliban 2.0 also have Afghans 2.0 to deal with, this time.
The United States Armed Forces are scheduled to be withdrawn from Afghanistan by 31 August 2021, concluding Operation Freedom's Sentinel and NATO's Resolute Support Mission.

As districts fell, so did military air bases. We verified multiple videos at the airport in Herat, Afghanistan's third largest city, which show that the Taliban managed to seize and operate one of the Afghan Air Force’s Soviet-era Mi-17 helicopters.
PETER GILCHRIST CAMP U.S. ARMY retweeted
Thousands of Afghan civilians flooded the airport to flee the country on Sunday and Monday — few succeeded. Desperation to escape Taliban rule was so high that some even latched onto the side of a moving transport plane and fell to their deaths as the plane took off.
