Afghan People Growing Desperate, Spotted Trying To Hitch Ride On US Air Force Plane

The situation in Afghanistan is not getting any better and civilians are getting desperate. With the Taliban takeover getting worse, some are trying to find ways to fell the country.

Thousands of people were filmed trying to chase a US Air Force plane as it taxied down the runway. At least two people who tried to hitch a ride ended up dead after they fell during their attempt to the tarmac.

Thousands were filmed trying to flee the country, climbing onto the military plane out of desperation. Chaotic scenes showed Afghans storming the Kabul airport.

With thousands of people rushing towards the plane, US soldiers fire warning shots in the air. They explained that these were meant to deter people who were trying to force their way into the military flight.

The military plane was set to evacuate American diplomats out of the country.

Other scenes include Afghans pushing or shoving others to get into the plane through the staircase. Some were even spotted hanging off the railings.

“It is a challenge for international stability and peace and we will do everything with Russia, the United States and Europe to cooperate efficiently as our interests are the same according to Pentagon spokesman John Kirby.

The chaos came not long after Taliban insurgents toppled the Western government after a week-long onslaught across the country.

The Taliban swept into the country on Sunday with President Ashraf Ghani already fleeing the country. It formally ended a two-decade campaign by the US who had tried to transform Afghanistan.

The US Embassy has already been evacuated with the American flag lowered.

In light of this development, French president Emmanuel Macron said in a televised national address on Monday that Afghanistan must not become a haven for terrorists again.

“It is a challenge for international stability and peace and we will do everything with Russia, the United States and Europe to cooperate efficiently as our interests are the same,” Macron stated.
