US directs embassy to destroy sensitive documents

Washington, Dt

As the Taliban's dominance in Afghanistan continues to grow, the United States has sent Marine commandos to evacuate its staff and civilians from the US Embassy in Kabul, instructing embassy staff to destroy sensitive documents.

The U.S. embassy in Kabul has been instructed to evacuate U.S. citizens as well as destroy items that could be used by the Taliban as propaganda or the American flag. The notice issued to the embassy staff asked them to use methods such as burning documents, tearing them up and throwing them in the trash. The US State Department in Washington has also begun preparations for the crisis. And steps have been taken to assist the US Embassy in Kabul.

Britain's defense secretary, Ben Wallace, on the other hand, said the US decision to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan was a mistake, which gave the Taliban a greater chance of wreaking havoc across the country. Wallace said the deal struck by former US President Donald Trump's administration to withdraw to Doha, Qatar, was a bad deal. I naturally thought this was a big mistake when dealing with Trump rather than dealing with the Taliban. The international community will probably suffer the consequences of this mistake.
