So far, 18.000 people have been evacuated

So far, more than 18.000 people have been evacuated from Afghanistan since the Taliban took power in Kabul. There is also an appeal for the evacuation to be accelerated, due to criticism of the West for the way it is going through the crisis. At the same time, thousands of people, determined to flee the country, continue to storm Kabul airport. The Taliban ordered the imams to persuade the people to stay in the country.
