Taliban ‘angry’ over US destruction of military hardware at airport
The Taliban invited Al Jazeera’s Charlotte Bellis to visit Kabul international airport following the final withdrawal of US forces. Bellis said the Taliban were upset by the US forces’ destruction of planes, helicopters, and other equipment at the military side of the airport, as they considered the hardware to be an Afghan “national asset”.

“Last night their mood was one of joy, celebration, they were shooting in the sky, there were fireworks – they were very happy that the Americans had left,” she said.“The mood here today is quite different – they are disappointed, they are angry, they say they feel betrayed because all of this equipment is broken beyond repair.”

The Taliban have said that they hope to reopen the passenger side of the airport to commercial flights in the coming days, which would allow people to leave the country, and Al Jazeera understands that Turkey and Qatar are assisting with that work.

“So while the evacuation efforts have finished because the foreign forces have all left, the Taliban say that they are going to stand by their word – which is to allow people to fly out commercially when they get everything operational,” Bellis said.

UK’s Raab says intelligence was Afghan capital would not fall this year
Britain’s foreign minister Dominic Raab said the intelligence assessment was that it was unlikely Kabul would fall this year as he defended Britain’s withdrawal from Afghanistan after the Taliban swept across the country much more quickly.

Britain, like the United States, failed to predict how quickly the Afghan government would fall, meaning it had not made sufficient preparation for the chaos that would follow when the Taliban seized power.

In an emergency session of parliament’s foreign affairs committee to discuss the crisis in Afghanistan, Raab said the central assessment of Britain’s intelligence service was that the Taliban would only consolidate its control of the country in the months after western countries had evacuated their troops.

Qatar jet carrying technical team lands in Kabul: source
A Qatari aircraft landed in Kabul carrying a technical team to discuss the resumption of airport operations after the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, a source with knowledge of the matter, told the AFP news agency.

“A Qatari jet carrying a technical team has landed in Kabul earlier today to discuss the resumption of operations in the airport,” the source said.

“While no final agreement has been reached regarding providing technical assistance, Qatar’s technical team has initiated this discussion based on the other sides’ request.

“Talks are still ongoing at the level of security and operation.”

The source said that the goal was to resume flights for both humanitarian aid and to provide freedom of movement, including the resumption of evacuation efforts.

Al Jazeera could not independently verify such information and the Qatari government has not yet commented.

Shooter's vote would be for biden/harris to get off his fucking knees, quit checking his watch, quit lying, and tell the motherfucking taliban that when the Americans and any Afghani's who want out are out, we'll consider letting normal flight operations resume.

And if that ain't good enough for the motherfucking taliban, then we'll help them open the airport with these fellows;

An Afghan morning show on the country’s leading television channel, TOLO TV, has resumed broadcasting – with a female host – according to a company executive.

Saad Mohseni, director of MOBY Group which operates TOLO channel, posted the news on social media on Thursday.

There have been concerns that the Taliban will limit the public participation of women. In the past, the Taliban had labelled TOLO TV a propaganda network.

A source inside Afghanistan told Al Jazeera that the Taliban is hoping domestic flights will resume in the next few days, while international flights will possibly take off in the next week or so.

“A senior Qatari source told me that initial flights will be either humanitarian or evacuation ones – that is the main focus for now – not necessarily civilians,” said Al Jazeera’s Jamal Elshayyal reporting from Doha.

Why yes. Why didn't anyone else think of this?
Just drive our stranded Americans out of Afghanistan!
Brilliant!!
Really. Just how fucking stupid do they think we are, this biden/harris bunch?

If biden/harris had shown some backbone, he'd have told the taliban;

a) We leave when we're goddam good and ready to leave, so take a seat and we'll call you when your number comes up. The more you spew and rant, the longer it will take. Just saying.
b) Airport security? See, cause fucked up airport security is what started this entire shit show 20 years ago, so we'll be handling airport security. Take your seat.
c) We'll be having some folks come through the VIP portals around the airport. You know, Mericans and Afghan partners. The worst thing that could happen is if any of them have any problems getting to the portals, or through the portals. See, we'll be holding you responsible for their well being until they get through the portal. Any negative reports from them will piss us off. Like, really, piss us off.
d) See our embassy over there? Until we leave, so much as a broken window or damaged flower in the landscaping and we'll be pissed. So pissed it will delay our departure for a long fucking time. Same thing for the airport. If so much as a window gets busted, or a toilet backs up, we'll be pissed. Like, REALLY Pissed. Like, maybe we'll want to stick around for another year. So, take your seat, have a smoke, and we'll call you when it's your turn.

What did biden/harris do? He took the lessons harris gave him to heart, knelt before the taliban, and let them fuck him over, and tell him "You leave now, American, leave your shit, and go. You kicked our asses for 20 years, you need to go, just like the Russians went.
And biden, he smiled and went.

And even fucked up the went part so badly that he apparently doesn't even know he left an estimated 200 Americans behind who, you know, didn't want to be left behind, but because the Taliban was in charge of security, instead of, you know, us, they couldn't get to the airport in time. Before the Taliban told biden/harris they had to be gone "or else".

And we left untold thousands of our Afghan partners behind so they could explain a lot of shit to the taliban about how we did stuff, or, you know, the taliban would rape their women right in front of them before, you know, they kill all of them.

No problem, we're being told.
As soon as we can get a fleet of Greyhound busses shipped over, we'll just drive all those folks right across Afghanistan and over the border to safety.

 

I don't care what God it is I don't think, this guy has a prayer But you would actually have to give a shit about Afghanistan and following the updates to even know who he is.

First civilian flight from Kabul since US exit lands in Doha
Qatar Airways flies passengers on first commercial international plane from Afghanistan since US withdrawal.

More than 100 passengers have arrived in Doha, Qatar after flying from Kabul airport on the first flight ferrying out foreigners since a US-led evacuation ended.

Qatar, a major transit point for Afghan refugees, has said it worked with Turkey to swiftly resume operations at Kabul’s airport to allow the flow of people and aid.

The flight, operated by state-owned Qatar Airways, landed at Doha’s Hamad International Airport on Thursday, marking the first successful flight of its type since the chaotic airlift of more than 120,000 people concluded last month.

Al Jazeera’s Mohammed Jamjoom, reporting from the airport in Doha, said there were about 113 passengers on board.

“The nationalities on board are comprised of Canadians, Americans, Ukrainians, Germans, British citizens and others,” Jamjoom said.

“They are transiting through Doha. After they clear customs they will be taken temporarily to a compound here in Doha, housing Afghan evacuees and Afghan refugees.”

Qatar’s Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani praised the Taliban for allowing the flight to depart.

“We managed to fly the first plane with passengers… we thank (the Taliban) for their cooperation,” Sheikh Mohammed said in televised remarks.

“This is actually what we are expecting from the Taliban, to see these positive statements translated into action,” said Sheikh Mohammed.

“I think this is a positive message, that we are supporting.”

A positive first step’
The US also welcomed the completion of the landmark flight.

“[The Taliban] have shown flexibility, and they have been businesslike and professional in our dealings with them in this effort. This is a positive first step,” US National Security Council spokesperson Emily Horne said in a statement.

UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said some 13 UK nationals were among the passengers.

“We are grateful to our Qatari friends for facilitating a flight carrying 13 British nationals from Kabul to safety in Doha today,” Raab said in a statement.

“We expect the Taliban to keep to their commitment to allow safe passage for those who want to leave,” he added, noting that Qatar has acted as the “central intermediary” between the Taliban and the international community in recent years.

Numerous countries, including the UK and the US, have relocated their embassies from Kabul to Doha in the aftermath of the Taliban’s rapid takeover of Afghanistan last month. The armed group seized control of the capital on August 15, with former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani fleeing the country.

Qatari and Turkish technical teams have helped restore operations at the airport, which was damaged during the chaotic evacuations of tens of thousands of people to meet the US troop withdrawal deadline of August 31.

Al Jazeera’s Jamjoom said the reopening of Kabul’s airport was “one of the things on the top of the agenda” when US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin met Qatari officials in Doha earlier this week.

“This is a big deal … it’s a very significant step,” Jamjoom said.

“Qatar is playing an outsize role on the world stage when it comes to Afghanistan because they are the primary interlocutors when it comes to the Taliban, they are the mediators and because of that you have a situation like today.”

Earlier on Thursday, Mutlaq al-Qahtani, Qatar’s special envoy to Afghanistan, said it was an “historic day” and that the airport was “fully operational”.

“We have been faced by huge challenges … but we can now say that the airport is fit for navigation,” al-Qahtani said from the tarmac in Kabul.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid thanked Qatar for its assistance in making the airport operational and for humanitarian aid to Afghanistan.

“In the very near future, the airport will be ready for all sorts of flights including commercial flights,” he said, standing beside Qatari officials at the airport.

Passenger flight
Al-Qahtani had earlier said another flight would take off from Kabul on Friday.

“Call it what you want, a charter or a commercial flight, everyone has tickets and boarding passes,” he said. “Hopefully, life is becoming normal in Afghanistan.”

Alex Macheras, aviation analyst, told Al Jazeera that Thursday’s flight was a charter flight.

“This is not a commercial flight whereby the airline is selling tickets to [inaudible] paying passengers … as part of a schedule,” he said,

“Instead the airline has been paid by the government, which in coordination with other governments, offers almost rescue tickets if you like, to those who are stuck by operating individual, one-off special, charter flights. We see this all around the world when there is bad weather in places, when airlines go bust, and so on.”

The departure of a large group of Americans, a first since the US withdrawal, suggests that US officials have come to an arrangement with the new Taliban rulers.

In recent days, there had been a standoff between the Taliban and organisers of several charter planes who had hoped to evacuate Americans and at-risk Afghans from an airport in the northern town of Mazar-i-Sharif.

The Taliban has said it would let passengers with valid travel documents leave, but that many of those at the airport in northern Afghanistan did not have such papers.

Following the evacuation of more than 100,000 people from the country in the wake of the troop withdrawal, extensive damage at Kabul airport raised questions over how soon the transport hub could resume for commercial flights.
