Re: Men Falling From Jets in Kabul Trying To Flee Taliban
It’s really sad to think maybe they did it knowing they faced certain death either way  I can’t imagine being that desperate to flee. |

Re: Men Falling From Jets in Kabul Trying To Flee Taliban
Afghan conflict: US and Taliban sign deal to end 18-year war 29 February 2020 “President Trump said it had been a "long and hard journey" in Afghanistan. "It's time after all these years to bring our people back home," he said. … Speaking at the White House, Mr Trump said the Taliban had been trying to reach an agreement with the US for a long time. He said US troops had been killing terrorists in Afghanistan "by the thousands" and now it was "time for someone else to do that work and it will be the Taliban and it could be surrounding countries". "I really believe the Taliban wants to do something to show we're not all wasting time," Mr Trump added. … Within the first 135 days of the deal the US will reduce its forces in Afghanistan to 8,600, with allies also drawing down their forces proportionately. The move would allow US President Donald Trump to show that he has brought troops home ahead of the US presidential election in November. The deal also provides for a prisoner swap. Some 5,000 Taliban prisoners and 1,000 Afghan security force prisoners would be exchanged by 10 March, when talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government are due to start. The US will also lift sanctions against the Taliban and work with the UN to lift its separate sanctions against the group. In Kabul, activist Zahra Husseini said she feared the deal could worsen the situation for women in Afghanistan. "I don't trust the Taliban, and remember how they suppressed women when they were ruling," the 28-year-old told AFP. "Today is a dark day, and as I was watching the deal being signed, I had this bad feeling that it would result in their return to power rather than in peace."” 29 February 2020 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-51689443 |

Re: Men Falling From Jets in Kabul Trying To Flee Taliban
~ It's what happens when a foreign military presence is taken for granted & the domestic military & civilians expect it to go on forever. So they slack off, until the last seconds, whereas panic is the only other way to go. ~ To the point that Noone cared to get their Visa/passport papers in order, or prepared anything beforehand, just in case! ~ For Afghanistan they felt it was life as usual having the U.S. military protect them from the Taliban, so they took it for granted, Until Now. |
