The commander in charge of New Zealand's Defence Force operations has described the Taliban's refusal to allow Afghan nationals access to Kabul's airport as a "worrying development" as he says our troops are "up against it" ahead of a looming deadline.
Kabul's airport remains a chaotic site as nations attempt to extract their citizens from Afghanistan, which fell the Islamic fundamentalist Taliban earlier this month. Forces on the ground are also trying to evacuate Afghan interpreters and others who worked with their countries' troops and may now be the target of Taliban reprisals.

Last week’s dramatic fall of Kabul to the Taliban brought New Zealand troops rushing back to Afghanistan – just three months after its 20-year mission there was to have ended.

Those hunkering down include employees of the collapsed government, civil society activists and women. They are desperate for news that they might be granted asylum somewhere else.
