German army prepares to get local helpers out of Afghanistan

Germany's army is preparing to get embassy staff in Kabul as well as Afghan helpers out of Afghanistan as Taliban fighters take over more parts of the country, the defence ministry said on Saturday.


"It's now our top priority that we bring those worthy of our protection to Germany," defence minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer said in a statement, adding that the operation would be mandated by parliament.

Good ole USA does it again. Creates a mess then walks away. "History teaches us that we learn nothing from history". North Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan......

A week ago there were still planes departing towards afghanistan with rejected migrants.

Where exactly do you see the crime in this case?
Rescuing people - where is the crime there?

The situation - one day ago:

Afghanistan: Panic and disbelief as thousands flee Taliban onslaught

The UN has urged Afghanistan's neighbours to keep their borders open as the number of civilians fleeing the Taliban onslaught swells.

Thousands of those internally displaced have been arriving in Kabul, seeing the capital as their last safe refuge.

What?

You should have made your point clearer.
I wrote: "Germany is preparing ...."
You answer: "This is a crime!"
So it comes across as: "Preparing to rescue people is a crime!"

I apologise from the bottom of my heart for not posting up to your standards. I won't make the mistake again.

German airforce says second evacuation aircraft en route to Kabul

A second German military aircraft is en route to Kabul to evacuate German citizens and Afghan helpers stranded there, an airforce spokesman told Reuters on Monday.

A first A400M transport plane had left early in the morning from the air base in Wunstorf in northern Germany. The aircraft are supposed to shuttle between Kabul and the Uzbek capital of Tashkent in order to rescue as many people as they can, according to security sources.
