An estimated 375 people were left behind in Afghanistan when the Government stopped evacuation flights, and a “second phase” of the evacuation effort is far from beginning.
The evacuation effort to airlift New Zealand citizens, visa holders, and Afghan allies ended on Friday after a deadly terror attack outside Kabul’s international airport. The hastily arranged operation came after the militant Taliban seized control of Afghanistan more than two weeks ago.

The safe passage of hundreds of evacuees from Afghanistan was made possible by an elite group of New Zealand soldiers who used code words and tactical landmarks to assist their efforts in an attempt to avoid chaotic and dangerous scenes.
Members of the New Zealand Army, deployed as part of the New Zealand Defence Force’s Operation Kōkako, were on the ground at Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA) in Kabul to help evacuate New Zealand nationals, their families and visa holders earlier this month.

Seventy years after the U.S., Australia and New Zealand signed a treaty committing them to defend one another and work together to ensure a peaceful Pacific, the alliance has assumed new and crucial relevance as all three countries face economic, political and diplomatic challenges from China.
The ANZUS Treaty, named with the initials of the three countries, emerged in 1951 from the nations’ shared history and became an important element of post-World War II international relations. Now, as the Pacific region is ominously poised on the brink of war, the alliance is again a key part of international relations and power struggles.

A literal reading of the treaty suggests that ANZUS is a triangle. According to the all-important fourth article, each one of the three parties ‘recognizes that an armed attack in the Pacific Area on any of the Parties would be dangerous to its own peace and safety and declares that it would act to meet the common danger in accordance with its constitutional processes’.

An Afghan interpreter who worked for the New Zealand Defence Force has issued a desperate plea to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern for help after he said he and other translators were promised seats on an evacuation flight which never eventuated.
Ardern said she understands that not everyone they wanted to get out was able to, but assured them they are working with partners on how New Zealand will continue to support those that "didn't get home".
