Blinken: 'This is not Saigon'

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken says the US is moving its embassy compound to Kabul airport.

He told ABC News: "It's why we had forces on hand - to make sure we could do this in a safe and orderly fashion. The compound itself, folks are leaving there and going to the airport."

He added that the embassy has lists of people to get out of harm's way and is doubling down on efforts to do so.

He also denied any comparisons of the current situation to the 1975 fall of Saigon, in Vietnam, and insisted that the Afghan mission had been "successful"

"This is not Saigon," he said.

'I saved American lives - but the US has turned its back on me'


"The president of the United States said, 'As you stood with us, we will stand with you'. So right now, where are they?"

Omar applied for a US visa in 2016, but was rejected for what the US embassy called a "lack of faithful and valuable service".

Now, Omar believes the Taliban's punishment will be worse for translators, despite a spokesman saying there will be "no revenge".

"There's no mercy for the linguists," he says. "The Taliban has said before, interpreters were the eyes and ears of the Americans - so the punishment will be different for us.

"As an interpreter I saved many American lives. So, they've really left me behind. Now I'm about to be killed, as is my family."
