Jimbuna · 08-24-21, 11:58 AM

A Taliban spokesman has said Afghans should not go to the airport or try to leave the country.

At a press briefing, Zabihullah Mujahid also said that women should stay at home for now, for their safety.

US allies have warned they will not be able to evacuate all those fleeing the Taliban by 31 August.

The warning came as a G-7 summit was to hear allies press President Joe Biden to delay the withdrawal of US forces beyond that date.

But a senior US administration official told Reuters Biden was going to stick to the deadline.
