SO you who think every American had plenty of time to evacuate

Columbus OH

Description

Nigel Walker was one of thousands of Americans evacuated from Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover. Walker faced massive crowds of desperate people in his multiple failed attempts to reach the airport. He was finally evacuated by the US in a secretive operation and still feels a sense of abandonment. But everything changed - slowly at first and then all at once - as the Taliban swept through the country, taking city after city until finally retaking control of Afghanistan, nearly 20 years after US-led forces ousted the militant group from power. In the days that followed, Kabul was overtaken by panic, desperation, and chaos as people frantically tried to flee. Walker, like many other Americans, struggled to reach the airport to board an evacuation flight, weathering large crowds, Taliban checkpoints, and a secretive military operation to finally make it out.
