First German plane evacuated only seven people from Kabul

Al Jazeera  

‘We had very little time, so we only took people who were on-site,’ defence minister says, blaming chaos at the airport following the Taliban takeover. The first German military plane to land in Kabul since the Taliban takeover has evacuated only seven people, the government said on Tuesday, due to chaos at the Afghan capital’s airport. Defence Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer said the A400M transport plane undertook a “breakneck landing” on Monday evening, its main aim being to bring in German soldiers to secure the evacuation. “We had very little time, so we only took on board people who were on-site.” Only seven made it because the plane had to leave quickly and other Germans could not get into the airport without protection from German soldiers, a foreign ministry spokesperson said. “Admission of people from the civilian part of the airport was not made possible by the partners exercising security responsibility at the airport,” the spokesperson said.
