Belgium has evacuated more than a thousand people from Afghanistan.
Belgium announced on Wednesday that it is ending evacuation flights from the Afghan capital Kabul. It happened just days before the final deportation of US troops, who, after the Taliban had taken over power in the country, were providing security at the airport. The AFP agency informed about it.
Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo wrote on Twitter that, given the development of the situation in Afghanistan, Belgium had decided to end its operations and evacuate the remaining personnel from the country. After five years on Tuesday, all personnel from the operation were gathered in Islamabad from 9.30 pm, De Croo wrote on the social network, stating that the evacuees would be transported from Pakistan to Belgium in the following days. He added that Belgium had taken this step in consultation with European partners.
From Friday to Tuesday evening, Belgian military planes evacuated some 1,100 people from Kabul via the Pakistani capital Islamabad, including citizens of EU Member States – the Netherlands, Denmark and Luxembourg, and vulnerable Afghans and their families.
On Wednesday, Poland and Germany also announced plans to end military evacuation flights from Afghanistan.
The EU calls on the IAEA
The European Union on Tuesday called on the United States to ensure the protection of Kabul Airport for as long as necessary, even after the final departure of American troops from Afghanistan, which will take place at the end of August.
European Foreign Minister Josep Borrell said over the weekend that it would be impossible to get all the people who had worked with Allied Western forces, including their families, out of Afghanistan by August 31. US President Joe Biden nevertheless insists on this deadline, which he set for the complete expulsion of US forces from Afghanistan.
On August 15, the Afghan militant Taliban occupied the capital Kabul and took power in Afghanistan. Since then, tens of thousands of people have been trying to get abroad from this Central Asian country. Western countries have begun evacuation flights for their diplomats, citizens and Afghan collaborators, urgently trying to evacuate people from the country before 31 August.
