US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said the Taliban have promised to allow foreigners and Afghans to leave Afghanistan beyond 31 August, when a US-controlled airlift will end.
He said Washington and its allies had “a responsibility to hold [the Taliban] to that commitment”.
Mr Blinken said the US was still on track to complete operations at Kabul airport by the end of the month.
There are still thousands inside and outside the airport wanting to fly out.
So the US airlift will end as scheduled on the 31st perhaps sooner, and the Taliban have promised to allow Afghans, US and other foreign citizens safe passage after that date. I guess Pigs really can fly.
