Taliban Interim Government Agrees to Let Foreigners Leave Afghanistan

(Reuters) - Two hundred Americans and other foreigners who remain in Afghanistan are set to depart the war-ravaged country on charter flights from Kabul on Thursday after the new Taliban government agreed to their evacuation, a U.S. official said.

The departures will be among the first international flights to take off from Kabul airport since the Islamist militia seized the capital in mid-August, triggering the chaotic U.S.-led evacuation of 124,000 foreigners and at-risk Afghans.

The move comes two days after the Taliban announced an interim government made up mainly of ethnic Pashtun men including wanted terror suspects and Islamist hardliners, dashing international hopes for a more moderate administration.

The Taliban were pressed to allow the departures by U.S. Special Representative Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. official said, speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity.

1. If anyone really

Looked at the Taliban objectives they would see they have been fighting a corrupt government and various war lords since 1994. Not for thousands of years as Trump said.

They seem to be negotiating with others while our raving media tries to continue to make them and Biden look bad.

I am sick to death of our media trying to show the worst with little about all the wonderful things millions do.

They pick out the most radical of Trump followers, the vaccine deniers.

They are corrupt to the core. Sorry for my rant, but like Governor Jim Justice. I am through with the deniers. He calls those who refuse to get vaccinated, playing Roulette with death. And he is Republican.

Have you seen the latest announcement? I saw it once. 75% of the country has been vaccinated. Those who fill the hospitals have not been vaccinated
