Coalition Efforts to Save Afghan Allies
When foreign troops started to leave Afghanistan in May, the Taliban tried, yet largely failed, to regain control of the country. While they were successful in rural areas, they failed to overtake major cities until this week. Now, the Taliban has overwhelmed nine provincial capitals and controls all but three major cities. Afghan nationals have been instrumental in U.S.-led military efforts, including serving as guides and interpreters. With the U.S. military leaving Afghanistan, those Afghan citizens and their families might be in imminent danger. What can we do?
