A few myth busting thoughts on the UK’s evacuation operation in Sudan: 1. The UK reacted as quickly (if not quicker in some areas) in standing up a evacuation force. 2. It will have to operate for longer and have greater capacity than other Nations with smaller national numbers.

Wild rumors from Kabul are reaching a fever pitch: top leaders being sacked, soft coups being plotted, internal discord. Will begin to percolate in media soon.
This is important moment to remember how little we know - and how little is even possible to learn - about the Taliban.
