Kim Sengupta – The Independent Aug 12, 2021
The UK is sending around 600 troops to Afghanistan to carry out an emergency airlift of civilians, as the Taliban closes in on the capital Kabul after seizing several key cities in the last week.
Most embassy staff, other British nationals, and Afghans who have been given refuge in Britain, are among several thousand people who will be evacuated to the UK in an operation that commences at weekend and is expected to be completed by the end of the month.
The British embassy – already in the heavily fortified ‘green zone’ – will be moved to a more secure location, with the ambassador, Sir Laurie Bristow, staying on with a skeleton staff.
The British government insisted that the evacuation and its timing has been long planned. But Afghan officials said the operation was brought forward as the security situation rapidly deteriorated.
The Taliban strengthened their grip on the country by capturing the symbolic and strategic prize of Herat on Thursday, while reports suggested it had also taken Kandahar – Afghanistan’s second largest city.
The UK evacuation force will be led by by a senior officer from 16 Air Assault Brigade which spearheads military operations and supervised by the Joint Force Headquarters. The unit will comprise of paratroopers, medics, logisticians . The force will start to deploy by the end of the week.
The US administration urged American citizens to leave Afghanistan immediately, using commercial flights. The embassy offered help to citizens unable to leave immediately for financial or other reasons but warned “given the security conditions and reduced staffing, the Embassy’s ability to assist US citizens in Afghanistan is extremely limited even within Kabul”.
The British troops will provide “force protection” – armed support for the “acceleration of the Afghan Relocation and Assistance Policy (ARAP)” under which interpreters and other Afghans who worked with the military are being flown to the UK.
The British force will not engage in combat alongside Afghan government troops against the insurgents, and senior military officers said they hoped that the Taliban would not interfere with the mission as it is hastening the end of foreign presence in Afghanistan.
The plan currently is to use charter aircraft for the evacuation using Kabul airport which is still open with commercial airliners flying. Military aircraft will be used however if that becomes impossible, with planes put on standby.
The evacuation is another grim reminder of the failure of the Doha Agreement, backed by Britain, under which US-led international forces withdrew from Afghanistan in haste with the Taliban allegedly willing to end violence and join the political process.
Instead the Islamists launched a military campaign inflicting brutality in some of the areas they occupied.
Ben Wallace, the defence secretary, said: “I have authorised the deployment of additional military personnel to support the diplomatic presence in Kabul, assist British nationals to leave the country and support the relocation of former Afghan staff who risked their lives serving alongside us.
“The security of British nationals, British military personnel and former Afghan staff is our first priority. We must do everything we can to ensure their safety.”
The Ministry of Defence in London maintained “the UK remains committed to Afghanistan and will continue working as part of the international coalition to support the country’s government through our diplomacy, development and counter terrorism work. This year the UK will provide Afghanistan with more than £100m of support to improve critical health and education services.”
Many products of international aid, especially girls’ schools and colleges, have been destroyed by the Talibs in areas under their control. Others have been abandoned by staff amid the ferocious violence of the conflict and fear of the jihadists.
Why not deploy those 600 personel to Kent to repel the invasion from Asia and Africa? Or am l being a racist? LOL
What the hell are the British doing there ?
they have no right
if they want to go kill people we have 250 black gangs in london

I thought the Brits were still evacuating fron their FIRST Afhan War of the 1860s!!
You nailed it Tony (O’Neill)
& then Karen has the returned squaddies on overtime cleaning up the capital,
All good stuff,
Who needs a government,
two major problems sorted out by Truth seeker bloggers, with minimal fuss & straight forward common sense.
Tony O Neil bang on mate 100%
well said
Is this to try and avoid scenes like those in Saigon at the end of the Vietnam War? Or is it a way of keeping British troops in the country?
Maybe the U.S. will send some of their cross dressing high heel freaks over there as well to assist their fellow British troops of same.
it is all made according to jew decomposing
politics in USA;UK;GERMANY : squander
as much tax payers money abroad , for mass
invaders + for israeli reasons as possible to
keep those goyim in ratschilds dept as long as
possible.
We need these troops back home
i discovered a nest of vile criminal worse than the Russian mafie
they are real scum
they are hiding in the houses of parliament and call themselves a government
It is the fall of Saigon again.
one day we are winning the hearts and minds
next day desperate embassy personel are on the rooftop taking the last flight
I’m glad fellow Truthseekers and many members of the British public are beginning to see how completely rotten the British government is.
Many thought it was just Churchill, Thatcher, Cameron and May.
Well here’s Johnson nominating and placing a host of ethnic minorities in key government positions so they can wreck havoc on the British people and the economy and take the fall for it while Johnson gets away with it:
■ Rishi Sunak – Chancellor of Asain descent
■ Priti Patel – Home Secretary of Asian descent
■ Sajid Javid – Health Secretary of Asian descent
■ Sadiq Khan – London Mayor of Asian descent
■ Kwasi Kwarteng – Business Secretary of African Ghanaian descent
Don’t be surprised to see an Asian or Black British Prime Minister soon, all in the name of neoliberalism, cancel culture and political correctness, who will fu@k up Britain even more.
We live in the End Times as prophesied by Daniel, Isaiah, Jesus of Nazareth and John the Revelator.
“Mission Accomplished”
Remember White Brits, Americans, Canadians, Australians, French, Swedes, Russians, South Africans etc., only ever fight against the interests of their own race…that’s why they never combat the anti-white Jews & the Afro-Asian simian invasion of their nations…Crazy, but true..
Sent over to prevent the Taliban shutting down the poppy fields.
Maybe they don’t need the opium now that most have been vaxxed.
Just like the Vietnam ” arranged ” war and withdrawal. Of course Vietnam is now a US satellite, as, doubtless Afghanistan is/will be. Those poppies and minerals would have been on the table, as the PTB did their deal with the Taliban…….slam dunk! The West would fall apart if the heroin trade stopped!!!
So the Brits didn’t learned from the 1842 expedition ??

Who will be the next one ???
The Kurds in Iraq are the new poppy growers
It seems one of the results of the Taliban taking back power has been a lot of Afghanis trying to flee the country. Those who flee to the west (and no doubt they’ll take the easiest or quickest route out) will head into Iran, while those fleeing south will head into Pakistan, and those fleeing east will head into India and China.
These countries are all targets of US anger, usually because they have their own ideas about what serves them best. Maybe the idea is to swamp Iran with refugees as a prelude to launching war against them? Amongst those refugees will not only be ISIS terrorists working freelance for US and Israeli terrorists, but also battle-experienced troops who were once pro-US (which is why many must flee the Taliban), and who for a few shekels can make Fifth Column mischief inside Iran under US-Israeli leadership.
The Daily Mail has its usual stuff….”a betrayal of friendly Afghans etc”.(this will act as an excuse to bring yet more alien people into Britain which indirectly helps the jews to keep their stranglehold over the country)
The comments on the article features the usual stuff…”we shouldn’t have been there in the first place” etc.
By all accounts the CIA has been using their equipment to fly the drugs out to the West….contributing to the gigantic drug problem in the West….BUT crucially adding to the jews coffers.
(Consider the activities of SASSOON in China….drugs processed in India using slave labour,then shifted to China causing mass drug addiction….BUT making Sassoon the richest man in the world at the time.
Sassoon was an Iraqi origin Jew.Today the jew Sassoons are well respected members of the elite and miraculously have become Europeans….like fu*k they have.
It’s about time Daily Mail readers thought outside the box.((keep in mind the fate of British troops in Afghanistan well over 100 years ago….massacred)
South American cocaine kingpins like GUZMAN are usually crypto Jews.The top Russian marfiya figures are Jews.David Cameron who has just made 7 million pounds via business deals is descended from Jewish bankers.
The current state of Afghanistan was no doubt planned….and the maniacs in the Taliban will obligingly start slaughtering their own people.
All of this stuff is becoming widely known…..which is where the Covid Scam becomes decidedly useful…it enables the jews to keep a lid on opposition to them….ALREADY it has saved the crypto jew homosexual MACRON from being ousted.
The current lockdowns in Australia are sheer lunacy….guess the ethnicity of the NSWs premier.(hint her snout is as prominent as the crypto jew Heydrich)
Florida which has a disproportionate number of jews…does not have a lockdown…how is that their covid victims are not huge?.
The lies and deceptions of the media in Britain are legendary….note how Assange is off the agenda…..while dissenters in Russia etc or Iran,just for example get loads of column inches.
In NZ The Twitchy-Witch Jacinda Zio Ardern has had a drop in popularity BUT it won’t be enough to get rid of her at the next election.
Why aren’t people protesting the arrival of illegal immigrants in Britain?…..BECAUSE the media has not “authorized it!,
Therefore the recent protest outside BBC offices in London could mean people realize that the media is the enemy…….RECALL THE GLARINGLY OBVIOUS OMITTING OF ANY MENTION OF A GIANT MARCH IN LONDON…..surely this tells the public that the media is not neutral but just an extension of government policy.
