Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said in an interview with Fox News that since the Taliban took control of Kabul, the largest evacuation in history has taken place.
The Qatari foreign minister added that 60,000 evacuees had passed through Doha, and that the Taliban had pledged that Afghans who had the appropriate documents would be able to leave the country.
He continued, "Some of the foreign nationals have not yet decided to leave, and there is a lack of clarity about when they will make the decision. What we are trying to do now is to reach an arrangement with the Taliban to leave the foreign nationals via chartered planes."
He said that the Taliban's announcement of new appointments in the government to include some ethnicities and some people not affiliated with the movement is a small positive step.
He expressed his hope that the Taliban will fulfill their obligations, noting that the movement needs to show that it is moderate and that it has changed, and "if this does not happen, we believe that stability will not be permanent, and we may be in a very worrying situation soon."
The Qatari foreign minister added that if the international community does not help the Afghan people, social unrest may eventually lead to civil war.
He also indicated that Qatar supports Afghan refugees and provides them with medical supplies and health care, as well as vaccines for the Corona virus.
Regarding the situation in the Gulf Cooperation Council, the Qatari Foreign Minister said that there is a desire by all the GCC partners since the Al-Ula agreement to restore cooperation.
