Taliban to allow 200 Americans, other civilians to leave Afghanistan – By Kenneth Garger (New York Post) / Sept 9 2021
The Taliban has agreed to let 200 Americans and other civilians depart Afghanistan from Kabul airport, a US official told Reuters.
The departures are expected Thursday. It was not immediately clear if those set to fly out were among the Americans and Afghan allies blocked by the Taliban from flying out of Mazar-i-Sharif.
US Special Representative Zalmay pressed the Taliban to allow Thursday’s expected evacuations, which would come over a week after US forces left Afghanistan, the US official told the news service.
Recent reports revealed that as many as six planes were sitting on the tarmac at the Mazar-i-Sharif airport waiting clearance to depart, but were being blocked from leaving by the Taliban.
