AFGHANISTAN: Extremely tense, but we will carry on — French President Macron

FRENCH President Emmanuel Macron says the situation surrounding Kabul airport is now “extremely tense”.

“This leads us to… advise each and every person to exercise the greatest caution in a context which we have no control over,” he said.

Macron said that, despite the attack, France intended to continue its evacuation operation, as long as a safe environment could be guaranteed.

“For several days France, along with other allies, has been doing the upmost in this situation, and we will continue to do so,” he said.

France has so far evacuated 115 French citizens and 2,000 Afghans.

The country has said its last plane will leave tomorrow evening.
