Turmoil Timeline: Here's How US & West Messed Up Afghanistan Evacuation_我的网站
A | On the one-year anniversary of US forces’ hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan after a 20-year deployment, there is renewed focus on the decision-making made by the Joe Biden administration that resulted in the swift fall of the Afghan government and the eventual return to power of the Taliban* Islamist group.,With the Democratic POTUS’ approval rating hitting historic lows and eating away at his party’s November midterm prospects, it is commonly believed that his handling of the Afghan crisis at the time of the pull-out created the momentum that began to drag down Americans’ confidence in Biden’s leadership.,The United States-led military offensive "Operation Enduring Freedom" was originally launched by former US President George W. Bush in pursuit of terrorists from Al Qaeda** - including leader Osama bin Laden - for masterminding the September 11, 2001 attacks in the US.,At the time, a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamist terrorist group Al Qaeda killed 2,996 people in the US as hijackers crashed two planes into the World Trade Center, hijacking another that failed to reach its target, crashing in Shanksville, Pa., and a third that struck the west side of the Pentagon.,© AP Photo / AMY SANCETTASmoke billows from the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center before they collapsed on September 11, 2001 in New York, NYSmoke billows from the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center before they collapsed on September 11, 2001 in New York, NY© AP Photo / AMY SANCETTA,After suspicion fell onto Al Qaeda, the United States responded by launching the War on Terror and invading Afghanistan under the pretext that the Taliban had failed to comply with Washington’s demands to expel Al Qaeda from the country and extradite the terrorist group’s leader, Osama bin Laden. American-led forces overthrew the Kabul-based Taliban government, which had been in control of large parts of the country since 1996.,Bin Laden was eventually killed nearly a decade later, in 2011, by a group of Navy SEALs who raided his compound in Pakistan. As Washington's attempt to impose Western ideas and forms of government on the country increasingly failed and the situation deteriorated for the Western-backed government in Kabul, the Donald Trump administration opened peace talks with the Taliban.,In February 2020, the Donald Trump administration signed an agreement in Doha, Qatar, between the US and the Taliban on drawing down US involvement based on a "reduction in violence." The "Agreement for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan" set out a series of commitments from the US and the Taliban regarding troop levels, counterterrorism, and intra-Afghan dialogue seeking to bring about "a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire.",The deal stipulated a deadline of May 1 the next year for all US troops to leave the country.,However, in April 2021, President Joe Biden, just seven months into his presidency, unilaterally deviated from the peace deal by extending the timeframe to September 11 and ordered all troops to withdraw from the country by an end of August 2021 deadline, with his decision triggering chaos and bloodshed.,‘Failed Intel’,As the US military began their pull-out, sending home troops and equipment, the emboldened Taliban proceeded with a lightening-swift onslaught. They took over huge swathes of the country, facing little resistance and picking up weapons and vehicles paid for by the US government which Afghan government troops left behind.,US 'Lost Track' of Afghan War Aims, Says Retired Marine General12 August, 17:00 GMT,Afghan officials, including the country’s president, Ashraf Ghani, fled, as the country’s capital, Kabul, was taken over by the militants on August 15, 2021 in a matter of hours.,None of the US intelligence assessments had predicted such a swift collapse, with American officials insisting in June that Kabul could capitulate within six to 12 months after the start of the withdrawal. Amid reports of failed intel forecasts, then-Pentagon spokesman John Kirby acknowledged that security in some parts of Afghanistan was “certainly deteriorating, and that’s of concern.” Washington continued to emphasize “commitment to the people of Afghanistan” and the goal of “ensuring that Afghanistan never again becomes a safe haven for terrorist groups who pose a threat to the US homeland.”,Amid the developments, the Biden administration debated whether to delay the American departure from Bagram Air Base, 35 miles north of Kabul, but eventually opted to go ahead. Army Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had told the House Armed Services Committee that “it is not necessary for the United States to stay at Bagram for what we’re going to try to do here with Afghanistan.”,Civilians Caught in Crossfire,As the Taliban regained full control, more than 120,000 people, including Afghans and foreigners, were frantically evacuated in a vast airlift operation from Kabul International airport. Thousands of Afghan citizens desperately sought to flee the country in fear of the Islamist group’s return to rule.,Exclusive- A clear video (from other angle) of men falling from C-17.

Many Afghans who collaborated with the occupying US forces and feared retribution from the Islamist group were left behind in the hasty evacuation.

The bomber was not stopped as Afghans had begun using alternate routes to the gate due to the difficulty of getting through Taliban checkpoints.,In another deadly incident that marred the withdrawal, a botched US drone strike killed 10 civilians - seven of them children - on August 29.,WorldCIA Reportedly Warned US Military of Likely Presence of Children Near Afghan Drone Strike Target 19 September 2021, 08:56 GMT,The US claimed it had been targeting a Daesh operative with a car full of explosives linked to the terrorist group’s affiliate, planning an imminent attack on American forces during the final days of the evacuation. However, the man turned out to be a longtime Afghan aid worker, Zamarai Ahmadi, employed by Nutrition and Education International, a nongovernmental organization focused on food security.,Approximately three weeks after the strike, the military acknowledged its "tragic mistake," yet a subsequent Air Force review around the strike found "no violation of law, including the law of war.",The last US aircraft left Kabul on August 30, 2021.,AfghanistanKirby Under Fire After He 'Takes Issue With Premise' US Handed Afghanistan to 'Terrorist Group'3 August, 09:54 GMT,Joe Biden’s administration faced bipartisan criticism for the Afghan withdrawal.,On August 17, just two days after the fall of Kabul, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan promised the White House would “conduct an extensive hot wash” and “look at every aspect of this from top to bottom.” But it remains unclear when any progress will be made by the congressionally-ordered bipartisan 16-member commission on the 20-year Afghan war, US media reported.,NBC News: Biden Admin Prepping Unified Message on Anniversary of Botched Afghan Withdrawal11 July, 16:09 GMT,The White House is believed to have geared up for congressional investigations into the Afghanistan withdrawal if Republicans win the House or the Senate in November’s midterm elections, according to sources cited in US media reports.,* The Taliban is an organization under UN sanctions over terrorist activities.,**Al-Qaeda is a terrorist group banned in Russia and many other countries.,*** Daesh, also known as ISIS/IS/Islamic State, is a terrorist group banned in Russia.。 AI摘要 台风“简拉维”在泉州登陆后减弱，今日白天有暴雨到大暴雨，明后天雨势渐弱转多云。虽降雨趋缓，仍需警惕持续降水引发的次生灾害，注意防范出行交通安全风险，确保人身安全。
B | 第20号台风“简拉维”昨日中午在泉州台商投资区张坂镇沿海登陆后，继续向西北方向移动，强度逐渐减弱。
C | 泉州市气象台预计，受减弱的低压环流影响，今日白天我市有暴雨到大暴雨，今日夜间到明日白天转为中到大雨，明日夜间到后天白天则由阵雨转多云。虽然雨势逐步减弱，但仍需注意防范出行交通安全风险以及持续降水引发的次生灾害。 24日中午，持续降雨让市区丰海路部分路段积水，车辆经过溅起“水墙”。

E | 在丰泽区刺桐路和丰海路，雨点密集敲打地面，溅起细碎水花。
F | 行人紧握伞柄，顶着雨前行；骑车人披着雨衣压低身子，双脚不时点地保持平衡。尽管雨具遮身，但持续的急雨仍将多数人的鞋面与裤脚浸得湿透。 在丰海路和中环城一些路段，路面凹处积起深浅不一的水洼，积水沿着斜坡哗哗奔涌，汇入排水口时卷起小小漩涡。
G | 偶有车辆疾驰碾过，瞬间激起一道水幕，白花花的水珠溅向两旁。 此外，昨日还有群众发视频反映，晋江英林民生路、永和邵厝邵氏家庙、石狮振兴路、南安石井延平大道掉头路口和支五路路口、成功收费站进出口等处均因降雨出现不同程度积水。 昨日14时30分许，晋江社马路往石狮方向英墩路口处，一棵大树拦腰折断，粗大枝干砸中一辆行驶中的轿车，车内有人员被困。晋江永和消防救援专职队接警赶到现场，确认车内有3人被困，所幸均未受伤。消防员一边安抚被困人员，一边用油锯清理树枝、破除障碍，10分钟后成功打开车门。
H | 3人仅受惊吓，安然无恙。 据市气象台统计，受热带辐合带和台风“简拉维”共同影响，20日起我市出现分散性大雨到暴雨，部分乡镇有大暴雨。
I | 统计20日8时—24日15时累计雨量，全市共有149个乡镇≥50毫米，其中84个乡镇≥100毫米，以丰泽泉秀街道234.3毫米为最大；最大小时雨量为南安石井镇80.1毫米。
J | 泉金航线停航 在建水工项目停工 记者从泉州海事局了解到，该局于24日17时将海上防台风应急响应从Ⅲ级调整为Ⅳ级，继续筑牢海上防台风防线。同时，围绕防台风关键环节逐项落实精准管控措施，及时向客运企业和船舶发布预警信息，督促其根据气象条件调整航班，目前泉金航线、肖厝—惠屿渡运航线已停航；辖区18个在建水工项目全部停止作业，有序撤离作业人员，引导施工船舶安全转移至避风水域；对小型船舶实施禁止离港措施，并按照“一船一策”原则督促落实防台方案。此外，通过VTS、VHF等手段加强锚地、航道及码头船舶监控，提醒在航船舶选择安全水域避风，维护锚泊秩序，防范锚地饱和风险；对渡口码头、通航环境和助航标志进行全面排查，及时消除安全隐患。（融媒体记者 杨泳红 许雅玲 通讯员 黎盼） 相关提醒 暴雨天出行注意事项 远离危险区域 下凹式立交桥或涵洞：短时强降雨易造成低洼区深积水，车辆和行人误入可能发生淹溺。
K | 若车辆熄火或水位达轮胎一半，应果断弃车逃生。 河道/滩涂/溪谷/泄洪区：汛期严禁在临水地带露营、垂钓、戏水或长时间驻留。一旦发现水势异动、水声轰鸣，应立刻向两侧高处撤离，切勿贪恋财物。 临水/临崖路段：雨天路面湿滑，持续降雨易引发滑坡、崩塌、泥石流，行车途经应注意减速控距，观察山体状况，切勿强行通过危险路段。 积水路面/井盖旁：存在触电、坠井风险。避开变压器、电线杆等区域，警惕井盖、下水道和排污井。若发现路面有漩涡，务必绕行。 危旧住房/低洼宅院：警惕墙体裂缝、土块掉落、树木或电线杆无故倾斜等情况。
L | 勿在危旧住房、厂房、临时建筑室内或周围停留。低洼区居民应根据预警情况随时做好转移准备。
M | 地下车库/地下室：警惕雨水倒灌。
N | 可提前转移车辆和贵重物品，发现进水后快速撤离，切勿乘坐电梯。 驾车出行指南 降车速：降低车速，尽量避免急踩刹车，以防侧滑失控。 转弯慢：转弯速度要慢，打方向盘轻柔，过弯后再恢复正常车速。
o | 不超车：减少来回并线和超车，尽量跟车行驶。
p | 拉大车距：适当拉大与前车距离，避免并排行驶。 正确使用灯光：开启示廓灯和近光灯，让其他交通参与者注意到自身车辆。 小心积水路段：观察水深，参照前车通行情况（大型车不宜作为参考），通过时要慢速，防止水花倒灌发动机。
q | 步行注意事项 避开漩涡：绕行井盖、下水道等区域。 重心后置：双臂前伸，重心后移，用脚尖扫动探路。 结伴同行：一人探路，另一人抓住其裤腰，虚步前进。 远离电力设备：避开广告牌、变压器、电线杆等，若涉水时脚下发麻，应立即止步并退回。
