France Launches Operation Apagan To Kabul
Handout photo taken and released by the French Etat-major des Armees on August 16, 2021 shows French soldiers boarding an A400M Atlas at the Bricy Air Base, a French Air and Space Force base near Orleans, for the UAE as part of the operation "Apagan". The military operation dubbed "Apagan", involving two French air force transport planes, a C-130 Hercules and an A400M Atlas, was launched on August 15, 2021 in order to evacuate French nationals from Afghanistan where the Taliban have taken over the country. Victorious Taliban fighters patrolled Kabul on August 16, 2021, after a stunningly swift end to Afghanistan's 20-year war, as thousands of people mobbed the city's airport trying to flee the group's feared hardline brand of Islamist rule.
