How Taliban helped in evacuation of US nationals from Kabul airport

The US allegedly hatched up a secret arrangement with the Taliban to evacuate its citizens and troops from Afghanistan, according to a report in CNN. This involved setting up of a "secret gate" at the airport and establishing "call centers" to guide Americans through the evacuation process.

After 20 years of war in Afghanistan, the US pulled out its troops and citizens from Kabul on August 31. The evacuation process was aided by none other than the Taliban, which seized power in Afghanistan on August 15, after the US military allegedly negotiated a secret arrangement with the militant group. According to a CNN report, the secret arrangement with the Taliban allowed members of the militant group to escort US nationals to the gates of the Kabul international airport.
