One of the most difficult airlifts, evacuated 13,000 from Afghanistan in a week: Biden

The ongoing evacuation of US citizens and Afghan nationals who supported Americans over the last 20 years is one of the largest and most difficult airlifts in history, US President Joe Biden said here Friday. He said the US has already evacuated more than 18,000 people since July and approximately 13,000 since its military airlift began on August 14.

This is one of the largest, most difficult airlifts in history, and the only country in the world capable of projecting this much power on the far side of the world with this degree of precision is the United States of America,” Biden told reporters at a White House news conference. He said thousands more have been evacuated on private charter flights facilitated by the US government including American citizens and permanent residents as well as their families. It also includes Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applicants and their families, the Afghans who have worked alongside the US, served alongside Americans, “one into combat with us, and provided invaluable assistance to the US such as translators and interpreters”, he said.

The United States, he said, has secured the Kabul airport, enabling flights to resume, not just military flights, but civilian charters and from other countries and the NGOs taking out civilians and vulnerable Afghans. “We have almost 6,000 troops on the ground, including the 82nd Airborne, providing runway security, the Army 10th Mountain Division standing guard around the airport, and the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit assisting civilian departure,” he said. Biden asserted that the United States stands by its commitment that it has made to vulnerable Afghans such as women leaders and journalists.

Husband Mark Zuckerberg fulfils ‘disco queen’ Priscilla Chan’s demand for a party and how

Mark Zuckerberg’s party for Priscilla Chan has won people over. Many were surprised by the tech billionaire’s makeover.

Mark Zuckerberg never shies away from sharing glimpses of his sweet and heartwarming moments with his family. From sharing pics of a statue of his wife, Priscilla Chan, to turning into a nail artist for his daughter, he regularly posts visuals which wow people. In a similar post, he shared pictures to show what he did when his “disco queen” wife asked for a party.

“Disco queen wanted a party,” Zuckerberg wrote as he posted the pictures. The first photo shows the couple sharing an intimate moment while kissing each other. The other images show them enjoying the party, with both dressed in shimmery clothes.

What did social media say?

“I always knew you were this cool,” posted an Instagram user. “He changed after attending Ambani’s wedding,” joked another. This has been a viral remark after Mark Zuckerberg’s recent wardrobe update, including Hawaiian shirts and a thick gold chain, which coincidentally happened after he attended Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s first pre-wedding festivities.

He met Priscilla Chan at Harvard University in 2003 as a student. The couple later got married in 2012. They have three daughters: Maxima, August (born August 2017), and Aurelia.
