今天，美国历经二十年的阿富汗战争正式划上句号。当最后一架运输机飞离喀布尔机场，撤兵如期完成。 希影2021-08-31 02:10:38
在美国最后的航班离开的消息传出之际，白宫和五角大楼都保证将继续把美国人和易受伤害的阿富汗人撤出喀布尔，直到“最后”。他们形容撤离行动是美军历史上最大规模的空运。 “我们继续有能力撤离并空运那些人，直到最后，”参谋长联席会议联合参谋部地区行动部副主任、陆军少将威廉·“汉克”·泰勒对记者们说。
白宫和五角大楼说，在塔利班8月早些时候接管阿富汗后，截至星期一早晨，总共已有11万6千7百人被转移，包括大约1千2百人从星期日到星期一搭乘26架美军航班和两架盟国航班飞离阿富汗。 白宫新闻秘书珍·莎琪星期一对记者们说，在这段时期有大约6千名美国人离开了阿富汗，但“仍有少数人”还未能离开。 “我们正在继续努力撤离美国公民，”她补充说。“我们的承诺是持久的，我们的承诺不会动摇，即使我们把我们的男女军人撤回国内。”
空运收尾
随着美国最后期限的接近，联合国难民事务高级专员菲利普·格兰迪星期一说，阿富汗人民需要各国政府、人道工作者和普通民众与他们在一起不离不弃。 “随着世界各地的人民欢迎阿富汗人进入他们的社区和家园，我们不能忘记那些被留在后面的人，”格兰迪在一项声明说。“我们必须满足阿富汗境内和该地区周边国家的人道需求，我们的回应必须是有力和紧迫的。与阿富汗人民站在一起意味着与他们所有人站在一起，不管他们在境外寻求安全或是在家中重新收拾破碎的生活。”

This was an incredibly tough, pressurized mission filled with multiple complexities, with active threats the entire time. Our troops displayed grit, discipline and empathy.

The past 17 days have seen our troops execute the largest airlift in US history. They have done it with unmatched courage, professionalism, and resolve. Now, our 20-year military presence in Afghanistan has ended.

There were mistakes & shortcomings, obviously. But for every corrupt official & every civilian casualty, there were countless Afghan cricketers, women parliamentarians, relentless entrepreneurs, formidable media & human rights defenders with stories of opportunities seized. 2/3

41 years ago, my family fled political upheaval and war in Nicaragua. Like so many of us before, this Afghan family will find a new home, refuge, opportunity, and freedom in this country. It makes our country stronger, richer.
