A new flight carrying evacuees from from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan lands in Paris at midday. Some 2,000 French nationals and Afghans have been evacuated by France, via a military base in Abu Dhabi, since the Apagan military operation began a week ago, but French authorities say the mission will end on August 31 if the United States sticks to a plan to pull its troops.

A UK military plane lands in Brize Norton with evacuees from Afghanistan onboard. The Taliban took effective control of the country Sunday when president Ashraf Ghani fled and the insurgents walked into Kabul with no opposition. It capped a staggeringly fast rout of Afghanistan's major cities in just 10 days, achieved with relatively little bloodshed, following two decades of war that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives.

Buses carrying Egyptian and Sudanese evacuees arrive at Egypt-Sudan border as they flee battles raging in Sudan between the army and paramilitaries that have sparked multiple evacuation operations to rescue foreign citizens and diplomats by road, air and sea. Some evacuations are taking place from Port Sudan on the Red Sea, an 850-kilometre (530-mile) drive from Khartoum, and others via nearby Djibouti and neighbouring Egypt. IMAGES
