Description | The evacuation of foreigners from Afghanistan, one of the largest airlifts in history |
In August 2021, the large-scale evacuations of foreign citizens and some vulnerable Afghan citizens took place amid the Afghanistan/2021 withdraw.
“There's so many people arguing about the withdrawal from Afghanistan blaming Trump, blaming Biden. 'Oh we should withdraw like this'. No no there's only one way to withdraw it's called get the f*** out of Afghanistan. Okay people in the west need to stop with this colonial mindset thinking they can just invade countries kill people stay there for 20 years and then act like they are the victims at Kabul Airport.”
Richard Medhurst (27 August 2021) [1]
