because the Biden administration failed to properly plan for a large-scale evacuation, according to a report from Republicans on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
The ranking Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, James Risch of Idaho, wrote in an introduction to the report that the Biden administration’s “failure of duty” allowed for “a botched withdrawal that left hundreds of Americans and tens of thousands of Afghan partners behind.”The administration’s failures came despite numerous indications and public reports that Afghan security forces were struggling to hold back the Taliban and that Afghans who had worked with U.S.
The summary of conclusions from the meeting, according to the report, “included actions which should have been taken months in advance, including but not limited to: reaching out to third countries to serve as transit points, alerting locally employed U.S. embassy staff about relocation, and standing up a communication/manifest team for flights out of Kabul.”The NSC deputies committee was the most senior-level group in the U.S.
A spokesperson for the NSC told NBC News that the previous administration had made “no plans for ensuring the safe evacuation of our Afghan allies” and passed on a visa program for Afghan partners that was plagued with a massive backlog and a cumbersome application process. The Trump administration also had “purposefully gutted” the U.S. refugee resettlement program, the spokesperson said.
