Now the Taliban started showing eyes to America too, threatened to face the consequences if the army did not return by August 31
Kabul.
The Taliban has been on the offensive since the US announced the withdrawal of its troops from Afghanistan. When the fighters of the terrorist organization captured Kabul, the US had to shift its embassy to Kabul airport. Not only this, 6000 additional forces were also sent for the security of the airport. According to an initial decision by President Joe Biden, US forces will withdraw from Afghanistan by August 31. Now the Taliban have threatened to face the consequences if they do not do so.
The Taliban have threatened the US of dire consequences if their forces stay beyond the August 31 deadline. The Taliban say that any delay in the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan will have consequences for the United States. The terrorist organization is seeing August 31 as a dead line.
Earlier, US President Joe Biden had earlier said that his troops could remain in Kabul after August 31 to help evacuate civilians.
Air
evacuation continues in Kabul: President Joe Biden says the difficult and painful work of airlifting Americans and thousands of others from the Afghan capital is progressing rapidly. At the same time, he did not rule out the possibility of running this campaign from the stressed country beyond the deadline of August 31. Biden defended his decision to end the war at the White House on Sunday, insisting that getting all Americans out of the country would have been difficult under the best of circumstances.
Critics have criticized Biden for launching a belated evacuation campaign. Biden said, “The task of returning thousands of people from Kabul is going to be difficult and painful. Anytime it starts. There was no way to evacuate so many people without the painful and heart-wrenching pictures being shown on television.
Biden said that military discussions are continuing on whether to extend the work to bring back people by air beyond the deadline of August 31. “We hope that we will not have to increase it but still the discussions are on,” he said.
The White House said in a statement on Sunday that seven C-17 and one C-130 US military aircraft evacuated some 1,700 passengers from Hamid Karzai International Airport in a 12-hour period until 3 p.m. Eastern Time Zone time. In addition, 39 Alliance aircraft took off with approximately 3,400 passengers.
