The Bundeswehr has already flown more than 2,500 people out of Kabul. It is still unclear how many of the evacuated Afghans are local workers.
During the evacuation of the German armed forces, another plane with 213 people in need of protection landed on board from Kabul in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The Bundeswehr announced this on Monday night on Twitter.
The A400M military transporter had brought relief supplies to Kabul Airport on the outbound flight.
The Bundeswehr had previously flown out more than 2,500 people since the start of their evacuation campaign. Among them were around 1,850 Afghans, according to the Foreign Office on Sunday evening. In addition, more than 270 Germans and several hundred people from other countries were flown out. It is unclear how many of the evacuated Afghans were local personnel, for example from the Bundeswehr. Some of them could also have been flown out on planes from other countries.
A week ago, the militant Islamist Taliban captured Kabul and took power. Since then, members of the opposition, journalists, human rights activists and local staff who worked for Western countries fear acts of revenge per se. Many citizens fear that the extremists want to re-establish an Islamic “emirate” and that they will use draconian punishments against those who think differently.
