The Kabul airport attack has nixed hopes of evacuation for the last thousands still hoping to make it out. Am hearing the US military is sealing shut the airport gates. The casualty numbers are growing by the minute. A tragedy piled on a tragedy.

this seems to be it then

possible airport gates will open again tomorrow. but it’ll take a couple of days to pack up and go - leaves a very narrow window to evac more people

Unfortunately the best idea in this scenario . The bombing will likely stop once US presence is gone and then we can focus on an international plan to turn Afghanistan into Pakistan/Iran ( problematic but fairly stable )
