As the UK winds up its operation to airlift civilians ahead of the August 31 deadline for US troop withdrawal as Taliban forces prepare to take over the airport, British ambassador to Afghanistan Laurie Bristow says nearly 15,000 British nationals, Afghan staff and others at risk have been evacuated from Kabul since "Operation Pitting" began. Britain hasn't "forgotten the brave, decent people of Afghanistan," Bristow says as British troops prepare to pull out, leaving several hundred Afghans otherwise eligible to fly to the UK behind.
