8:05 pm
hall sca that remains to be done and that was the main issue discussed at the meeting it today. the reality is that actually we have many allies for offer to host to receive afghans. people coming out from going on. we have many planes enough calling this on the cobbler airport or in the region. the main challenge was to get people to the airport and into the airport. so we have communicated clearly to all of us that they should provides a safe passage for everyone who wants to leave the country. and especially when enable them to, to go to the airport. some ne, darlise and especially with the states i have had what i will call operational tactical compact with, with all the bonds to make sure that that happens. we have seen some progress, but still it is a very difficult situation outside of the airport. it's very unpredictable at the
8:06 pm
meeting today. many allies express the need to extend the deadline to the timeline beyond the 20 and 31st of august. and that's because they see that with the current pace, we will not be able to get all the people who want to get out by the end of that timeline. i'm concerned about told you have seen the last weeks, including the very rapid collapse of the african security forces on the political leadership. when we made a decision to end, then they thought us us and they 2 persons in i've gotten this done. we were aware of the risks of all the bond returning back to the very wrapped, the false collapse over over all the political leadership and the security forces that was not anticipated. and that of course has created some additional problems. so the problem you are faced with today,
8:07 pm
then i think it's extremely important to remember that the reason why we went into afghanistan was to prevent of cornerstone from being a safe haven for national terrace. after the type of tax organized from, i've gone this on against not the states and 911-2001. for trinity, ezra prevented any attacks on the need to other countries organized from of gone on . and now it is simple to do what we can to preserve those gains. tell them members have been seen alongside civilians for the 1st friday presidency. our group took control of the country. now the taliban issued guidance to moms cross going to the phone saying they should use the sermons to appeal for unity. people in cobble reported seeing more worship as unusual. no dress code restrictions were enforced from abroad. has more from the capital. the pres went ahead and they were relatively uneventful. there were concerns that possibly the taliban was going to have a high profile presence. may have been on the doors of last and insisting that people
8:08 pm
adhered to a strict dress code. that wasn't the case, but the taliban has urged him to pass on the message that people should should really be looking for unity. they should not leave the country, they should pass on that message and also to correct what the taliban calls a negative propaganda. whatever that means, so it looks as though the, the taliban does recognize the important, the importance of a mom's in trying to lay the fears of the population. something else which is worth pointing out. the way that's been happening this friday outside of cobble is potentially some resistance armed resistance to the taliban. that if the perpetrators of this would have you believe this is the start of the fight back. although it remains to be seen just how serious they said, this is the country's defense minister, general bas mill, mohammedan. now it has to be said he still claiming to be the, the defense minister by default because the taliban hasn't chance to appoint his
8:09 pm
success to get their own defense minister. so it's more like the forward defense minister, but there has been some fighting in the province of baghlan. that's to the north of cobbled and claims by this resistance movement led by this former defense minister that they've taken 3 districts and that the province of baghlan will soon be captured. it's a bold claim, but it is a backlit is close. interestingly that to the punch valley, now the pantry valley is traditionally the hot bed of resistance to the taliban. it was during the 1990. it was where the northern alliance that was that strong, cold weather, 2000 to one fight back, supported by the american took place from. so this, according to the roll, general bits miller holiday. it's the start of the fight, back by his forces. it remains to be seen though, just how far this might go, or whether it could indicate that once again, afghan is down, could be in for
