Fall of Kabul USA runs out of Afghanistan after 20 years and the Taliban declare their "independence"
Fall of Kabul EU calls to prevent a humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan to avoid migratory collapse
The
Afghanistan
evacuation mission
has been an "incredible success," President
Joe Biden said
from the White House, a day after the last US plane left Kabul.
Biden has assured that the US was prepared for "any eventuality" in its withdrawal from Afghanistan, "including this one," he said, referring to the fall of the Afghan army after the victory of the Taliban.
The August 31 deadline, he said, "was designed to save American lives," he said.
"It was not an arbitrary date."
Biden has addressed the nation about America's withdrawal from Afghanistan after a 20-year war he had vowed to end, but whose chaotic last days have overshadowed his tenure.
Ending the last "eternal war" that emerged after the attacks of September 11, 2001 was one of Biden's biggest electoral promises.
And the idea was overwhelmingly supported by public opinion.
But after 2,356 US military deaths, many thousands wounded and an estimated $ 2.3 trillion spent, the offensive in Afghanistan to overthrow the Taliban ends with the same insurgents returning to power.
