Sharjah24 - AFP: Spain said Friday that it has ended its evacuations out of Kabul, just over a week after it began airlifting its citizens in the wake of the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan.
"The Spanish evacuation of its Afghan collaborators and their families has been completed," the government said in a statement.
Two final flights landed in Dubai early Friday morning, it added.
On board were 81 Spanish citizens who had still been in Afghanistan, including embassy personnel, army and navy troops, four Portuguese troops and 85 Afghans who had been working for Spain, Portugal and NATO.
They will fly on to the military base of Torrejon de Ardoz, near Madrid, in the afternoon on an Air Europa plane, the government said.
