Kathmandu. The United States is set to repatriate Nepalis working at its embassy in Afghanistan after the Taliban insurgent group seized control of the area around the capital, Kabul.
About 300 Nepalis are currently providing security at the US embassy. A Nepali working at the US embassy in Kabul said in a telephone interview that the US could send him to Nepal by plane at any time.
The situation here has deteriorated, many American senators have returned, we have been told to be ready to return, the date of return has not been fixed, said a Nepali security guard working at the embassy.
Afghanistan has been under siege by the Taliban since the United States withdrew its security forces two decades later. The Nepali security personnel said that the US embassy was sending them back considering the same issue.
