In a tragic incident, while crowds flood the airport in Afghanistan, Kabul, it is reported that American forces shot at the air to disperse the crowds and ended up killing five Afghans. It is unclear how that happened.<\/p>\n
Also three Afghans desperate to flee the country scrambled on the American C-17 plane clinging to the tyres and crashed off mid-air, falling on houses to their deaths.<\/p>\n
President Ashraf Ghani has fled the country, and Afghanistan\u2019s vice president Amrullah Saleh said that he was on \u201chis soil and with the people; for a cause and purpose\u201d. He also said that opposing \u201cPakistan-backed oppression and brutal dictatorship\u201d is their legitimacy.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that UK is working with its partners to send a clear message through NATO meet on Friday that \u201cnobody should bilaterally recognize the Taliban\u201d.<\/p>\n
It is reported that the situation in Afghanistan is extremely bad and roads towards the airport are almost closed.\u00a0 Crowds flood Kabul airport while Afghans try to flee the nation.\u00a0 \u00a0people tried to flee Afghanistan after the Taliban retook the country in little more than a week. This occurred after US President Joe Biden began the ultimate withdrawal of American troops, ending America\u2019s longest war.<\/p>\n
The United States led more than 65 nations in urging the resurgent Taliban to let Afghans leave the country, warning of accountability for any abuses. \u201cThe United States joins the international community in affirming that Afghans and international citizens who wish to depart must be allowed to do so,\u201d Secretary of State Antony Blinken wrote on Twitter as the State Department released a statement signed by its close allies. \u201cThose in positions of power and authority across Afghanistan bear responsibility \u2014 and accountability \u2014 for the protection of human life,\u201d the joint statement said.<\/p>\n
Videos and pictures flooded Twitter showing scenes of people fleeing, traffic jamming roads, while the airport was overcrowded, chaotic and heartbreaking scenes.\u00a0 A lot of anger is poured on the USA for betraying the Afghans. While there is fear everywhere, the Taliban is trying to assure the people they will not hurt anyone.<\/p>\n
