      The Taliban have violently broken up a protest in eastern Afghanistan, quashing a rare public show of dissent. Many Afghans remain deeply skeptical of the militant group’s claims that they have changed, and the violent response could only fuel their fears.http://apne.ws/oaPrshN

      The Pentagon says 2,000 people — including 325 American citizens — were evacuated from Afghanistan on 18 flights over the past 24 hours. A spokesman says the U.S. military is talking regularly with the Taliban to help get Afghans into the airport.http://apne.ws/kTmRWFG

          Dude, they have at the least 13 more days. 2000 isn’t the final number nor does it count those who were evacuated in the previous 4 days. C’mon man, don’t be obtuse just to get a little comic in your timeline.

          Honest question: when US admin (Trump) told the world we were leaving Afghanistan, did the rest of the world just blow it off? Why the rush by all these countries, to get their people out? Was Taliban’s takeover not expected by anyone?

          they didn’t have the right intel because of the previous administration and they didn’t expect the taliban to capture afghanistan that fast
