The NATO foreign minister said on Friday that they are focusing on how to evacuate their citizens safely, while the Afghans believe their safety is threatened by the Taliban. Stoltenberg said the “great challenge” for NATO is to “work harder to study how to get more people…into the airport, then deal with it, and then board the plane.”

“As long as the evacuation operations continue, we will maintain close operational cooperation through allied military means,” said NATO’s joint statement on the evacuation of Kabul Airport.

As NATO’s foreign ministers are committed to ensuring the safe evacuation of their citizens and Afghans deemed in danger after the Taliban takes over, they first focused on improving the operation of the Kabul Airport.

NATO is facing constant chaos in the capital and on its export roads.

Some allies have called on the United States to protect the Kabul Airport for as long as it needs, even if this is beyond the evacuation range of all American nationals.

In addition to the immediate challenges, NATO foreign ministers also insisted that the new ruler of Kabul must ensure that the country does not become the center of terrorism again.

“We will not allow terrorists to threaten us from Afghanistan again,” Stoltenberg said, reminding that NATO’s involvement in Afghanistan was based on the 2001 9/11 attacks on the United States.

NATO has been leading international security operations in Afghanistan since 2003, but ended its combat operations in 2014, focusing on training the country’s national security forces. NATO helped build an army of about 300,000 people, but under the offensive of the Taliban, this army was exhausted in just a few days.

NATO headquarters blamed the failure of the Afghan leadership for the rapid collapse of the country’s Western-backed armed forces.

A year ago, NATO’s “resolute support mission” for training the Afghan security forces involved approximately 10,000 personnel from 36 member states and partner countries. Last Sunday, there were no NATO-commanded troops in Afghanistan.
