With the first passenger flights from Kabul since the end of the chaotic military evacuation flights, more than 250 foreigners were able to leave Afghanistan.

At the same time, he thanked the Arab emirate of Qatar for help with the flights and welcomed the cooperation of the militant Islamist Taliban in these “important efforts”. The United States continues to hold the government of Qatar, the Taliban and others responsible to ensure the safe exit of people who want to leave the country.
As part of the first evacuation flight since the end of August, more than 100 foreign nationals were flown out on Thursday, according to a CNN report. According to the Federal Foreign Office, these included 15 German citizens. According to the White House, 19 US citizens were on board a second flight from Kabul on Friday.
Since the end of the military evacuation mission in Kabul with the withdrawal of the last US soldiers, western countries have been trying to allow their nationals and former Afghan local staff to leave the country. Land routes are to be increasingly used for this purpose and flights are to start from neighboring countries. The Taliban have been in power in the country again since mid-August.
