Apologies for the lack of posting. I have essentially been up for days helping collect and send out contacts on USCITs, HVTs, and SIVs to people who can help get them out.
And for those asking I have helped get out several people with hopefully more on the way.
Also if you know anyone who is trying to get out, have them stay away from Abbey gate at HKIA there is a SVBIED/ SIED threat to it floating around contractor/ State dept channels. Possibly ISIS-K.
I’m not sure if anyone else has noticed this on Twitter but there is an online propaganda war rn between Indian accounts (in support of Panjshir) and Pakistan accounts (in support of the Taliban) and its making my life way harder than it needs to be right now
Everyone wears multi-cam
^ Taliban for those who didn’t see the insta post

ISIS claimed responsibility for the attacks in Kabul
And for those who need more contact the Taliban has been fighting ISIS-K for years. ISIS has also been attacking Kabul for years and have been responsible for most of the bombings against the city, such as the attack against the girls school earlier this year that killed 70, most of which were children.
The Taliban claim to have taken control of parts of the military side of Kabul airport (not by force), likely signaling full NATO departure from the country soon.
From what I am seeing Marine LCpl. Ricky Thompson, 21, passed away on Tuesday, August 24, and was not a casualty of the Kabul airport suicide bombing. Reportedly due to suicide.
