Explained: What happens after Biden's evacuation force leaves Afghanistan?
India Today
As the US troops pack up their equipment and withdraw, the pace of evacuations by US and allied forces - which reached 20,000 a day this week - will inevitably slow down.
President Joe Biden on Tuesday stuck by his plan to remove the nearly 6,000 US troops from Afghanistan by the end of August, contingent on whether the Taliban cooperates to allow the evacuation of more Americans and their Afghan allies. Biden announced a plan in April to withdraw 2,500 US troops who were still in Afghanistan after a 20-year war, but was forced to send thousands more back to evacuate those at risk as the US-backed government and military quickly collapsed.
