Socialist Spain Commences New Operation to Transport Afghans to Europe
MADRID (AP) – Spain has started a new evacuation operation to extract more Afghans and their families left behind following the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.
Spain’s Defence Ministry said Sunday that it is working with the foreign ministry on a new evacuation mission.
“An operation is underway to extract people who had worked for Spain in the coming hours or days,” Defence Minister Margarita Robles said. “Spain does not leave anyone behind.”
The minister would not elaborate in order to protect the mission, but Spanish news agency EFE reported that the plan was to get out some 200 people via Pakistan.

Spanish Foreign Affairs Minister José Albares visited both Pakistan and Qatar last month to ask for their assistance in extracting more Afghan workers who had not been included in the first airlifts from Kabul.
Spain successfully evacuated some 2,200 people — Spaniards and Afghans — from Afghanistan in the frantic days following the Taliban takeover in August.
