The staff involved in the removal efforts from Kabul as many people as possible, after the Taliban seized power, did what they could under extremely difficult conditions, his ambassador said today NATO in Afghanistan, Stefano Pontecorvo.
“We have a clear conscience, because with what we had, we did what we could, given the circumstances,” the Italian diplomat told reporters upon his arrival in Rome.
Pontecorvo, who left Afghanistan on Friday for the last Italian flight, said those involved in the evacuation from Kabul airport crossed the line between the possible and the impossible, to transport everyone who could out of the country. .
“We have left some there, whom we have not abandoned, but we are still doing everything we can to bring them back home,” he told reporters.
Italian military aircraft had flown more than 4,800 Afghans abroad by Friday, including more than 1,400 children, the defense ministry said.
Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Mayo praised Italian diplomats and military officials for their contribution to the evacuation.
“We have expelled more Afghans than any other EU country,” he said.
