Fresh evidence on UK’s botched Afghan withdrawal backs whistleblower’s story

MPs' inquiry given further details of Britain's mismanagement of Afghanistan exit with people left to die at the hands of the Taliban'

Further evidence alleging that the government seriously mishandled the withdrawal from Afghanistan has been handed to a parliamentary inquiry examining the operation, the Observer has been told.

Details from several government departments and agencies are understood to back damning testimony from a Foreign Office whistleblower, who has claimed that bureaucratic chaos, ministerial intervention, and a lack of planning and resources led to people being left to die at the hands of the Taliban".
