Here are the countries evacuating their embassies in Kabul as the Taliban advances
As the Taliban continues to gain territory in Afghanistan, nations are quickly mobilizing to evacuate diplomatic staff in Kabul, fearing an eventual attack on the capital.
President Biden announced on Saturday that approximately 5,000 U.S. troops will be deployed to Kabul to oversee the evacuation of U.S. diplomats as the administration remains committed to an Aug. 31 withdrawal from the 20-year-long mission. The additional troops will also be tasked with facilitating the departure of Afghans who have aided the U.S. government.
Countries including the United States, Germany and Britain, which had relatively large numbers of troops in Afghanistan since the start of the war in 2001, are evacuating people from the fortified Green Zone, where embassies are located, and reducing their numbers to a small core of diplomats. Others are repatriating staff members and shuttering their embassies altogether.
The United States
The United States is sending in troops to aid evacuation efforts, and plans to keep a core team of diplomats in Kabul, although that could change depending on security assessments.
