The Department of Defense has tweeted a picture of Maj. Gen. Chris Donahue, commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, boarding a C-17 to depart Kabul.

He was the last soldier to depart the country.

On Monday, Gen. Kenneth "Frank" McKenzie, the top general of US Central Command, told reporters that Donahue and the top US diplomat in Kabul, Charge d’Affaires Ross Wilson, were the last two US officials to step off of Afghanistan soil and onto a US military aircraft out of Afghanistan.

“On the last airplane out was Gen. Chris Donahue, commander of the 82nd airborne division and my grand force commander there, and he was accompanied by our charge Ambassador Ross Wilson, so they came out together,” McKenzie said.

“The state and defense team came out on the last aircraft and were in fact the last people to step on the ground, step on the airplane,” he added.

Time for Nigerian Muslims who are abusing the western countries to start migrating to Afghanistan.

You'll never see any of these Nigerian Muslims dream of settling in any islamic country but their dreamed land is any of the western countries.

Even the fanatic norther elites dare not educate their kids in the islamic countries but you'll see them sitting in their war-torn north instigating their blind footsoldiers against western dominance.

Because many Christians can endure and tolerate muslms for a few years but Muslims don't even tolerate themselves if they belong to different islamic groups. Shia v sunni divide. Muslms don't tolerate Christians either as hosts or settlers.
Saudi don't take refugees. They shun muslim refugees.

Most NGOs providing humanitarian services in war torn islamic countries are being run by Christians. You will never see muslms helping their fellow muslms.

Even beggars from north will migrate to south because rich Alhajis will not help them.

That of UAE is true and mainnly for business or vacation but you hardly see a Nigerian Christian dreaming to happily settle in neither Quatar nor Saudi.

The statistics of those Christians queuing for Saudi are limited to those in medical line.

A commander was the last to leave. In Nigeria he will be the first to run away. His boys can enter bus later and find their way home.

Mind your own problems in Nigeria and solve them instead of getting worked up about a country where things work

Afghanistan was a situation where no matter what happened, it would be chaos.
America had no business being in Afghanistan and should have pulled out 20 years ago.
It was a pointless exercise.
America's greatest enemy is not ISIS, China, Russia; it's Americans who put politics and party above their nation.

The withdrawal was agreed upon by Trump and Republicans who negotiated with the Taliban and even brought them to a meeting in America that was cancelled after an uproar. Biden and the Democrats honored that agreement. The pull out was messy and might have been a bit better; but who knows.

While Christian Nigerians are shouting Dubai up and down you're still insulting Islamic countries.

You lack knowledge and wisdom. Those countries you mentioned are not ruled the way Afghanistan is ruled. They align themselves with the west. That's why they are developing and also desirable.

This speaks volume. First it shows the quality of a great leader. It's like saying, "I will be the first to step on that soil and the last to leave."


Meanwhile, my prediction is dt Afghanistan's tiny economy will collapse pretty soon. And there is likelihood of civil war.

God bless you my brother. U understand the happening! I just can’t figure out why people kept on blaming Biden as if he was the initiator of the deal.

The postulation rather is , the taliban have allowed themselves to be used. And will be overun by IsL- and it’s affiliations.
Afghan is likely to be the headquarters of the world terrorist with the sophisticated weapons left behind by us

How do you think the world would be if the world is dominated by their Arabic education?

They should explain to us how engineering, medical and technology would be achievable and beneficial if the whole world subscribes to Arabic education
Imagine.....they complain of westernization yet they can't do without same western improvements and sophistication!
