The new rulers in Afghanistan are apparently allowing 200 foreigners to leave Afghanistan who stayed behind after the evacuation mission ended.

An American representative of the Reuters news agency said on Thursday.

According to the report, Americans are among those leaving.

Charter flights from Kabul Airport would be used.

On Thursday afternoon it was said that the plane was ready for departure.

The US special envoy for Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, has urged the Taliban to let the people leave the country, Reuters learned from a source familiar with the process.

It remained unclear whether the Americans and citizens of third countries who were stuck in Mazar-i-Sharif for days because their private charter plane was not allowed to take off were among those who were escaped.

After the Islamist Taliban came to power on August 31, the United States withdrew its last soldiers from Afghanistan.

In doing so, they and other countries ended their evacuation flights from the capital, Kabul, with which they had brought their own nationals and Afghan local workers as well as particularly vulnerable people out of the country.

Germany is also still trying to allow tens of thousands of people to leave Afghanistan, including former local workers with their families and people who fear persecution from the Taliban.

Since the end of the evacuation mission at Kabul Airport in Kabul, individual groups have already been brought to Pakistan by land.

But many of the people are still hiding, especially in Kabul, and are waiting for help with their departure.

Normal flight operations at Kabul Airport have not yet been resumed.

The ruling Taliban are currently trying to create the conditions for this with help from Qatar, Turkey and a company based in the United Arab Emirates.

In the past few days, transport planes and individual domestic flights had landed in Kabul again and again.

Taliban spokesman Zabihulla Mujahid said that "serious steps" had been taken for reconstruction.

Taliban ban protests

The Taliban, meanwhile, banned all further demonstrations in Afghanistan for the time being.

The Ministry of Interior's first official statement after the formation of the government stated that no one should try to organize protests under any circumstances at the moment.

Serious prosecution is threatened in the event of violations.

The reason given by the Taliban was that some people had disrupted public order and harassed people in the past few days.

At the same time, the Islamists set the conditions for protests in the future.

Organizers must therefore obtain prior approval from the Ministry of Justice.

The reason for the demonstration, the location, the time and the slogans must be communicated to the judiciary and security authorities at least 24 hours in advance.

The Taliban had used violence to suppress demonstrations in the past few days. They also banned media coverage of the protests.
