Afghans who were eligible to come to the UK but have been left behind describe their fury and fear in The Guardian.

It was “carnage” in Kabul after two suicide bombers and a gunman struck the city’s airport on Thursday, The Guardian reports. 

Afghans who want to flee to Britain may be better off heading to the border instead of awaiting RAF evacuation, according to The Guardian. 

UK troops are expected to leave Kabul within 24 to 36 hours, according to a report on the front of The Guardian.

The Guardian reports on the scramble to get people out of Afghanistan following a Taliban warning that foreign forces staying beyond the end of August would be crossing a “red line”.

The Guardian reports that Number 10 says Boris Johnson will plead with Joe Biden to keep US troops at Kabul airport beyond the end of August at the G7 leaders summit.

The Guardian tells the story of people shot, beaten and choked with tear gas as they gather outside the gates of Kabul airport, desperate to escape Afghanistan.

The Guardian highlights mounting pressure on the foreign secretary over claims he refused to take calls about Afghanistan’s collapse while he was on holiday.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has faced a “wall of fury” from all wings of the Conservative Party over the UK’s conduct in Afghanistan, The Guardian says.

Women, children and religious minorities will be prioritised in a new UK resettlement scheme for 20,000 Afghan refugees, Boris Johnson says, acknowledging those who helped the western coalition over two decades are most at risk from the Taliban takeover, writes The Guardian.
