Military evacuation flights have resumed from Kabul airport even as anarchy reigns supreme in the Afghan capital with assorted insurgent and extremists group setting up check posts enroute to the airport and all evacuees at the mercy of the sundry Islamists.
While India is awaiting its turn to evacuate its diplomats and key people, reports from Kabul indicate utter chaos with the Taliban cadre firing bullets to even regulate traffic and with no government to enforce the law. “The Taliban is trying to tell everyone that they will not take retaliatory or vengeful measures against anyone but the public is not convinced.
To add to their fears, the Taliban is going door to door in Kabul with a list of government officials and journalists who wrote or spoke against them in the past,” said a civilian on phone from Kabul. After the mayhem at the Kabul international airport earlier on Monday, the US have taken control of the Air Traffic Control and technical area and are only allowing military flights to evacuate people with hundreds of Afghans waiting at the tarmac for their turn.
The mood is very grim in Kabul with majority Afghans blaming the US forces for abandoning them to the extremists.
