The current French operation in Afghanistan will be completely completed on Friday evening, after which “we can no longer carry out evacuations from Kabul airport”, French Prime Minister Jean Castex announced this Thursday on RTL.
This deadline is “imposed by the Americans” whose device will withdraw on August 31, said a government source. The evacuations of Afghan populations will be carried out until Thursday evening or even Friday morning, “a few hours” before the departure of the soldiers and services of the embassy to maneuver on the spot, according to the same source.
