Next Wednesday, 24 November, Casa Asia<\/strong> in Barcelona (Can Tiana, Carrer de Bol\u00edvia, 56) presents at 7 p.m. the round table Afghanistan: History of an Evacuation.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The speed with which the Taliban regained control of the country and in particular of its capital, Kabul, forced the urgent departure of Western troops and Afghan collaborators and their families. The evacuation had to be carried out in record time and in extremely difficult conditions due to the Taliban threat, the prevailing chaos and the constant danger of attacks such as the one that occurred on 27 August, claimed by the Islamic State.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Ministry of Defence, through the Spanish Institute for Strategic Studies, will provide a contextualisation of the situation and the Spanish presence in Afghanistan over the last two decades. The Operations Command will then explain how the evacuation went from a technical point of view. Likewise, the coordination work of the evacuation operation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation will be analysed, as well as the experience of Ignacio \u00c1lvaro, former coordinator of the AECID Technical Cooperation Office in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
