3:02 am
when it started, when we began. would have been true if we had started a month ago or a month from now. there is no way to evacuate this many people without pain and loss of heartbreaking images. you see a television. it's just a fact. my heart aches for those things. those people, you see what biden is also said, the taliban has so far kept its word on allowing access to cabala, port least 20 people have died in the chaos of trying to leave the afghan capital. in recent days. nearly 6000 us and foreign troops are protecting the airport. a biden warned of growing concerned that the field could become a target of attacks. charles crawford joins and evacuation missing from castle to afghanistan. heading east towards campbell airport. this flight is part of an international effort to move thousands of people out of afghanistan because they are afraid of the new rulers of their country that has
3:03 am

3:04 am
in this country. i think this is devastating. will you find the city that i fall off the city that gave me the chance to be why? i think there's a lot of roy emotion. these are really emotion. i live line a lot of memory and contradictions. a lot of been a lot of suffering, but yet cobble given the threat somehow. and that's what you're seeing here in rain rain. this is the prima, the crop being forced beneath all about maybe the act like it's all about, of course have said that they will be no reprisals against people who've worked with policies or what's the media organizations for their
3:05 am
family members speak to people if they don't believe that according to some students, they're all tens of thousands of people who over the last 4 years of work with knights who have worked itself with western media. and it is these people that you see here today when all the rec, off as arrived, the last few minutes we've seen helicopters landing also, it's our arrival situation. but there is a lot of tension as what is being described is one of the largest ellis history continues. when we come to the taliban, taken from old b on group is busy trying to form you. government senior tell about lead is, are in talks with the commanders, former government figures, and 4 and religious scholars sell a bunch reports not from couple for the united states. call him a global terrorist,
3:06 am
and off is a $5000000.00 reward for his capture. yet one week after the taliban took control leila from man had connie moves freely around kabul. the taliban lead his schedule is full of meetings with afghan leaders. that we're going to collect every group and political groups, all the groups and united them and work together to build a better afghan, astonished and defended senior taliban leaders who spend the week in negotiations. they say they won't and inclusive government. hello. economy is a leader and connie network and remain on terra watch lists and under un sanctions . but now here in carville up to one week, he's acting as a diplomat. connie even slipped at the home of hash met ghani, brother of the former president ushers. connie accepted the government but very frankly, i've been telling them over and over and they do understand they know how to bring
3:07 am
security. they are lacking totally when it comes to finances. and as far as having educated people that can come by and run the country. part of the u. s. telephone agreement signed last year was at the us will continue to provide funding to we're going to stop during and after it's withdrawl. but since the tele bonds take over the us has for is it more than $9000000000.00? and as can central bank reserves, and the international monetary fund says, as going on can no longer access, it's lending the consequences severe. and i have talked to the leadership of taliban over and over actually every night, almost the hour of the morning. you never touch in any sunshine. look at it. the rich, the powerful will survive. it's the common people that it's going to get hurt. off the years and hiding that, had connie's have publicized, they returned to cobble,
3:08 am
who lives in charge of the capital security. his nephew, enough, smith, the former president hubbard, cause i and ceo of dealer of de la this week taliban deputy leaders, serge dean, had connie also visited with this money to our, our, our issue was with the occupation. there was a superpower that came from the outside and it divided us. they forced a war on us. we don't have any hostility towards any one level. and the taliban says it will not announce who is in the government and its structure and to foreign troops have left the country in september. charlotte bellis al jazeera kabul. well, the tunnel button says hundreds of fighters are heading to afghanistan's pension valley. one of the few areas, the group didn't yet control pan. she lives just north of triple in thousands of africans opposed to the town about including full government troops have reported that to share resistance. the taliban says it sending its fight is because the group has refused to hand ever control fully. alright, let's wrap this up. we can speak to thomas johnson who's research professor at the
3:09 am
naval postgraduate schools, national security affairs departments. he's also the author of taliban narratives. the uses and power stories in the african countries joins us on skype from monterey in california. thomas johnson, welcome to the program. so as plans for governance of being put together, we have this, this pocket of resistance to the thought about in the pension valley. and it's now the other benefiting fight is out there to engage them. how do you think that's going to play out? well, i mean, this is a very significant problem right now. or at least issue there is approximately 9000 afghan resistors under the name of their calling themselves the national resistant front that have gathered in the pan sure valley. and even marolla sally, who was the head of afghan intelligence for many years and was
3:10 am
a vice president under a guy in the 2nd machine is also there. in fact, he's declared himself president, sense the guy is left the country, but it's, but my information suggests that there are scores thousands of taliban fighters moving to the pan sheer. ready now the national resistance has come out publicly and stated they'd like to negotiate. ready rather than fight, but this ery is an area that, that, you know, the moods at dean knew very well during the anti soviet shod. it was the home of ahmed shah, masoud, and his son, ahmed masood, is also a major player, trying to reconstruct something that looks like the northern alliance that was so successful in fighting the taliban during the civil war. you would say the chances are just just moving along the chances of it in
3:11 am
a fight and the resistance probably wouldn't hold well, i'm not so sure of that. i mean, 5 times the soviet union tried to attack the pan, sure valley and the beginning at the head of the pan, sure. barrel valley masood regularly close it down by dropping boulders and things such as that. in fact, the soviet's attack pan sheer and mate sharma suits men 5 times during the course of the anti soviet jihad. and actually even had, sees fires with them. they were very successful. now will those same types of tactics and strategy work against the taliban? well, i'm not sure, but i think the probable billet is, is high that they will. right? i guess, i think is just just to, just to carry on with it. you got that going. we got the, the evacuations that are happening right now at some point. they will stop and they, we will really see what the taliban 2021 version will look like. what calculations
3:12 am
do you think they'll be making as they look to govern? well, i mean, today i saw that the tell been a now it's that they would present their governing structure within a couple of days. you know, they've always said that they were going to establish an islamic emerett that would basically kill the constitution. what was the islamic republic of afghanistan? so the tech, next 2 days, i've seen gantt charts of how the taliban possibly planned to run the country, but you've got to understand that there's fighting and other provinces going on right now. so this could upset some of the calculations that the taliban have place. but how the institute shari'a laws can be very interesting. how they plan to govern is the major question. how different is the playing field to was the
3:13 am
last time they took control of the country. it's completely different. the taliban were greeted by the afghan people in 1994. because the mutual dean government headed by rabbani bachelor bonnie there's all kinds of fighting amongst the different dean groups. and they had actually set up the dean and set up roadblocks between parts. i'll just focus on the south from ers again to kind of hire city where many of these people wanted to bring their food to market. and kind of hurries went to move mar, who later, you know, was one of the co founders of the taliban and asked him, he was at the time in a mosque and in verse of god. and he cleared the way.
3:14 am
and this brought him almost incredible status much the con, higher rigs. and once he went, when he talked to 1500, a moms and move was from the blue temple. do mosque in, in the cut are he put on the suppose a shot of muhammad. and when he put that on, he became, became what's known as commander of the faithful, not only for the afghan people, but for all muslims. so you know, you've got to understand that even zombie college, i wrote a famous article in the very influential form affairs that said that taliban was the best thing that happened to afghan a stand in many years now once they took all ok, thomas will have to leave it there at the appreciate it. thanks very much. dave thomas johnson that research professor at the naval postgraduate schools. national security affairs department. thank you. my pleasure is still ahead here and al
