Allow people to leave Afghanistan: 60 nations urge Taliban

| @indiablooms | Aug 16, 2021, at 02:25 pm

Washington:  More than 60 countries, including the US, UK, and Australia, have issued a joint statement where they have urged the Taliban insurgents to allow safe and orderly departure of foreign nationals and Afghans who wish to leave the country.

In a statement, the countries said: "Given the deteriorating security situation, we support, are working to secure, and call on all parties to respect and facilitate, the safe and orderly departure of foreign nationals and Afghans who wish to leave the country."

"Those in positions of power and authority across Afghanistan bear responsibility—and accountability—for the protection of human life and property, and for the immediate restoration of security and civil order," read the statement.

" Afghans and international citizens who wish to depart must be allowed to do so; roads, airports and border crossing must remain open, and calm must be maintained," the statement said.

The countries said Afghan people deserve to live in safety, security and dignity. 

Situation in Afghanistan:

Amid a growing outrage over the USA abandoning Afghanistan and Pakistan supporting the group that enforces their own radical version of Islamic law Sharia, Taliban insurgents entered Kabul on Sunday at the end of clashes and weeks of violence in various parts of the nation.

Following their entry to the capital, Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani fled from the country.

The Taliban reportedly has now taken control over the Presidential Palace.
