Afghanistan-Taliban Crisis LIVE Updates | Spain to keep extracting Afghan allies in months, years ahead, says PM Pedro Sanchez
Spain will keep trying to extract Afghans who worked with Western countries in the coming months and years, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Friday, hours after the last two Spanish rescue planes left Kabul for Dubai. "We are going to work calmly and discreetly. We are already thinking about how to set up an operation to bring back those Afghan allies and their families who we could not evacuate," he told a news conference. He said his government had not ruled out any kind of effort to bring back as many such Afghans as possible. But he did not specify what that might entail or how many such people remained in the country. Declaring "mission accomplished," Sanchez said Spain had evacuated 2,206 people on 17 flights, most of them Afghans who had worked with Spanish forces and the embassy, European Union institutions and with the U.S. forces.

The Taliban's pitch to the Afghan people has always been simple –- life under their hardline rule would finally bring security after decades of war.

The final flight of evacuees from Afghanistan arrived in the Netherlands on Friday carrying 87 Dutch citizens, the Defence Ministry said. Dutch military planes have taken more than 2,500 people out of Afghanistan since Aug 18. The Netherlands no longer has a diplomatic presence in the country.

A small number of Dutch troops and a C-130 aircraft will remain near Afghanistan until Aug. 31, the government said.
Afghanistan-Taliban Crisis LIVE Updates | Pakistan preparing to receive 4,000 evacuees from Afghanistan
Pakistan is preparing to receive nearly 4,000 evacuees from Afghanistan, mostly Afghan nationals, as transiting passengers to stay for a limited period, officials said on Friday. The US embassy had requested the Pakistan government to help in the evacuation efforts ahead of the August 31 deadline to completely withdraw from Afghanistan to cap its longest foreign war, spanning over 20 years after the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. Officials said that the Embassy sought permission for landing or transiting the passengers under three categories: US diplomats/citizens, Afghan nationals and people from other countries. About 4,000 people, including the Afghans who supported the NATO forces during the war, will be brought to Karachi and Islamabad for stay before being flown to the US. The Islamabad administration was taking measures to settle the incoming people and it ordered more than 150 hotels in the capital and neighbouring Rawalpindi to stop booking local guests in order to accommodate the foreigners for about three weeks.
