Press Watchdog Calls For US Plan To Evacuate Afghan Journalists

Afghanistan Crisis: Reporters Without Borders said the US currently seemed to be concerned only with the evacuation "of its own citizens and former employees".

Reporters Without Borders called Saturday on US President Joe Biden to make "a special plan for evacuating endangered Afghan journalists" from Taliban-controlled Kabul. RSF said the United States currently seemed to be concerned only with the evacuation "of its own citizens and former employees". "This is blocking the evacuation of those on the lists of sensitive persons who are in danger," it added. "We are receiving dozens and dozens of urgent evacuation requests," said RSF chief Christophe Deloire.
