Qatar expects to have Kabul’s airport “operational very soon” and has urged the Taliban to help facilitate the evacuation of Afghans stranded after the end of a massive U.S. airlift staged as its last troops left the country.
Speaking at a joint news conference in Doha with his U.S. counterpart, Qatari Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani said his country had dispatched teams to provide technical assistance to get the airport up and running, though an agreement with the Taliban over the resumption of international fights had yet to be reached.
