Today is a month since the US withdrew from Afghanistan and left American citizens, employees and Afghan allies behind to hide from the Taliban.
The State Department finally gave some specifics today on the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. I analyzed the key points that are new in this updated post: emilypostnews.com/p/afghanistan-… #EmilyPosts #ProjectExodus
The State Department says there are only 100 Americans in Afghanistan who are “ready to depart”. It has a plane out of Kabul for them.

The mission of the private rescue groups in the U.S. is inspiring and hopeful.
But it is also confusing and anxiety provoking for people in Afghanistan desperate to get on “lists.”

Single, American Woman ‘Trapped’ by Taliban in Kabul
The @StateDept and @SenAlexPadilla don't respond to her, so she emailed me:
“You are the only hope that I am left with. I hope that I get a response and help from you.”

Her brother and sister in law disappeared a month ago.
“There is no information about them, if they are alive or not. So I am left here as a guardian to my nephews.”
She has American passport but needs to get her three nephews with Afghanistan passports out of the country.

The Taliban cut off internet and mobile in Kabul today. IDk the purpose but it terrified the Americans and Afghan allies who were suddenly alone in hiding and cut off from any contact.
An Aghan ally who I email with asked me to share this message:
"Hi Emily,
Pray for your safety and your pen to write the pain of the Afghan people.
Kabul and the resident's lives are in danger day by day.
See what happened today in Kabul.... (1/2)

Well, this is from @StateDept:
Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs): For information regarding the SIV process, including who to contact for specific inquiries please visit: travel.state.gov/content/travel…
BUT
Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs): For information regarding the SIV process, including who to contact for specific inquiries please visit: travel.state.gov/content/travel…
BUT
The catch is that if you are applying for a SIV and you are in Afghanistan (which is everyone) then you can't get interviewed because -- as you know-- the US shut down its embassy in Kabul.
From @state "If you would like to transfer your immigrant visa case to a U.S. embassy or consulate outside of Afghanistan that processes immigrant visas, please submit your request to the National Visa Center at NVCSIV@state.gov - including your name, date of birth & case number"
We at #ProjectExodus will continue our work until/unless the US government gives us:
1) secure place to transfer our list of Americans and SIVs in Afghanistan to them
2) proves communication with the people on their daily safety
3) secures an evacuation plan with Taliban.

I have a friend trapped there so have a huge favour to ask. If you are in the US, can you please contact your local congressmen and women and ask for assistance with completing an evac for those at risk, like my friend. If you need help with what to write, please pm me. Thank you
@fotodave I need your help, please mate.
@emilymiller @POTUS @VP @BarackObama @MichelleObama
I don't care who you are, what side of politics you are on, there are real people (who assisted coalition forces) with their lives at risk right now. This crosses international oceans, but apparently only the US can assist.

The 6 planes are still on the tarmac at Mazar-i-Sharif International Airport, per "Sam", who is the only source that has been accurate throughout this saga on the planes. #ProjectExodus Sam explains why...
"KAMAir is still grounded. I’m first on the list to call as soon as things get moving - so I’m told."

6 planes and Taliban: "I’ve been told they want to verify manifests and don’t have the horse power to do so.
My guess is they are coordinating with Turkey to help them run tower operations to activate the runway."

One week ago, I got this email from retired special forces operator (who is now a friend and partner). I didn't believe him.
Our government abandoned American citizens and longtime allies in Afghanistan to be killed by Taliban?
Yes, and nothing has changed. (1/?)

Pres. Biden told the American people that no one would be left stranded in Afghanistan. He lied.
Biden said there are "ongoing efforts in Afghanistan to reopen the airport." That's a lie.
The US hasn't even tried to get flights out of AFG. The Qatar government reopened Kabul airport after the US bailed. No Americans can fly in or out from it. WHY NOT?

I told him yesterday the planes weren’t moving. This is what he texted me today:
"Well your guy was right. We kept getting told we would fly out today but they just told us definitely not. Planning for resumption of flights tomorrow or Sunday. Taliban cooperating."

KAMair, the airline chartering the planes, told #ProjectExodus that three things are needed for the flights to leave Afghanistan:
1) destination and flyover permissions;
2) an approved manifest at origin and destination;
3) executed contract.

New COVID restrictions are adding to the problems. He said that many countries that could take the six planes require a negative COVID test in the last 72 hours for commercial travelers. Those countries include Tajikistan, Dubai, Istanbul, Georgia, Azerbaijan, etc. #ProjectExodus

Key points is Taliban controls the airspace, so no rescue attempts can take place by plane. This will only change if Pres. Biden or another global leader makes a diplomatic deal with the Taliban. Will you, @POTUS ? #ProjectExodus

“We are a super power, and we asked the Taliban to control these lines?”
