I’m watching Kabul airport radar traffic, and nothing is moving anywhere in Afghanistan, except for a solitary Turkish Air Force A400 transport plane bound for Harat.

Nothing has moved in or out of Kabul since 10 am Monday. That means we still do not have control/ security on the airport tarmac. Bad news.
