2021年8月27日国防部消息,总理和国防军总司令凯文·肖特元帅将于上午10时30分在比希夫剧院就阿富汗局势作简短的介绍,喀布尔最后疏散飞行完成。
新西兰总理杰辛达·阿尔登和国防部长佩尼·赫纳雷说;”新西兰国防军(NZDF)C-130大力神从阿富汗首都喀布尔撤离人员的最后一班飞机昨晚降落在阿拉伯联合酋长国,此前有报道称喀布尔哈米德·卡尔扎伊国际机场发生爆炸。爆炸发生时,没有新西兰国防军人员在喀布尔,因为他们都安全离开最后一班飞机″。
新西兰国防军证实,没有新西兰撤离人员留在喀布尔机场。 杰辛达·阿尔登说:”我们向在阿富汗丧生或受伤的所有人表示哀悼和哀悼,包括美军、我们在实地的其他伙伴,以及所有受这次骇人听闻的袭击影响的家人和朋友”。 杰辛达·阿尔登说:”我们强烈谴责对许多无辜家庭和个人的卑鄙袭击,他们只是从阿富汗极其困难和脆弱的局势中寻求安全”。 “外交和贸易部(MFAT)与以前在安全旅行上登记或以其他方式联系的新西兰公民和在阿富汗的永久居民保持密切联系。昨天,MFAT通知所有已知在阿富汗的人恐怖袭击的威胁持续且非常大,并警告他们不要前往哈米德·卡尔扎伊国际机场,如果他们在附近,就离开机场。在现阶段,没有新西兰人或在阿富汗的其他签证持有人就爆炸事件提出援助请求。MFAT 正在积极努力联系该地区所有已知的人。喀布尔机场的局势对于试图撤离的人和撤离人员来说都极其困难。行动上的考虑现在决定了停止进一步飞往喀布尔的航班的必要性”杰辛达·阿尔登说。 在飞行任务过程中,新西兰国防军飞机能够从喀布尔起飞三次,并成功地将数百名前往新西兰和澳大利亚的撤离者救出。 澳大利亚还带出了一些前往新西兰的人。 到目前为止,已有276名新西兰国民和永久居民、其家人和其他签证持有者从喀布尔撤离前往新西兰。其中228人已经离开阿拉伯联合酋长国前往新西兰。这些数字可能会随着合作伙伴航班上的处理继续而改变。 此外,还有100人,包括新西兰人和澳大利亚人,在新西兰国防军最后一次飞离喀布尔的航班上被带出。一旦目前的处理完成,飞往新西兰的航班上的人数将可用。 国防部长佩尼·赫纳雷说:”新西兰国防军人员与澳大利亚合作伙伴合作,在这些爆炸发生之前已经成功疏散了许多新西兰人”。 “一些人从阿富汗被带回奥特亚罗亚,更多的人在飞离喀布尔后安全过境。由于许多仍在阿富汗境外的基地进行处理,现在知道总数还为时过早。我们承认那些仍然在阿富汗的人所处的极其困难的位置。阿富汗局势极其复杂和脆弱,而且继续迅速变化。我们的下一个工作是考虑为那些仍然留在阿富汗的人做些什么。这不会是一个快速或容易的任务”。 杰辛达阿尔登说: “这次行动是在接到通知后,在困难的条件下进行的,显示了我们武装部队的价值。我要感谢我们的国防军人员,他们努力将那些需要帮助的人带回家,在喀布尔机场和阿拉伯联合酋长国与其他政府机构一起在地面建立存在”。 杰辛达·阿尔登说:”我还要感谢我们的合作伙伴,特别提到澳大利亚、美国和阿拉伯联合酋长国对这次行动的坚定支持”。 国防部长佩尼·赫纳雷还感谢国防军人员的辛勤工作和行动速度。 部署的价值不仅在于飞机,还体现在新西兰国防军人员在机场本身,这些人员在极其困难的条件下为撤离人员提供便利,在阿联酋也有支助人员在抵达时协助撤离者。 目前尚未确定何时部署新西兰国防军人员,C-130飞机将返回新西兰。
The Prime Minister and Chief of Defence Force, Air Marshal Kevin Short, will be available for a brief stand up on the situation in Afghanistan at 10:30am in the Beehive Theatrette Final Kabul evacuation flight completed Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Defence Minister Peeni Henare said the last flight by a New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) C-130 Hercules evacuating people from Afghanistan’s capital Kabul landed back in the United Arab Emirates last night prior to reports of explosions at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul. No NZDF personnel were in Kabul at the time of the explosions as they had all safely departed on the final flight. NZDF have confirmed that no New Zealand evacuees were left within Kabul airport. “Our thoughts and condolences are with all of those in Afghanistan who have lost lives or suffered injuries, including US forces, our other partners on the ground, and the families and friends of all who have been affected by this appalling attack,” said Jacinda Ardern. “We strongly condemn what is a despicable attack on many innocent families and individuals who were simply seeking safety from the incredibly difficult and fragile situation in Afghanistan,” Jacinda Ardern said. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) remain in close contact with New Zealand citizens and permanent residents in Afghanistan who had previously registered on SafeTravel or otherwise made contact. Yesterday, all those known to have been in Afghanistan were advised by MFAT of the “ongoing and very high threat of terrorist attack” and warned not to go to Hamid Karzai International Airport and to leave the airport if they were nearby. At this stage, there have been no requests for assistance from New Zealanders or other visa holders in Afghanistan related to the explosion. MFAT are actively working to contact all those known to be in the region. “The situation at Kabul’s airport has been extremely difficult for both people trying to get out, and those undertaking the evacuations. Operational considerations have now dictated the necessity to end further flights into Kabul,” Jacinda Ardern said. Over the course of the mission, the NZDF aircraft was able to undertake three flights out of Kabul and had successfully brought out hundreds of evacuees who are destined for both New Zealand and Australia. Australia also brought out a number of those destined for New Zealand. So far, 276 New Zealand nationals and permanent residents, their families, and other visa holders have been evacuated from Kabul destined for New Zealand. Of these, 228 have already departed United Arab Emirates for New Zealand. These numbers are likely to change as processing of those on board partners flights continues. Additionally a further group of 100 people, including New Zealanders and Australians, were taken out on NZDF’s last flight out of Kabul. The number of those destined for New Zealand that were on board that flight will be available once current processing is complete. “NZDF personnel, working alongside Australian partners, had successfully evacuated many New Zealanders prior to these explosions,” Peeni Henare said. “A number of individuals have been brought home from Afghanistan to Aotearoa, and more eligible people are safely in transit after flying out of Kabul. Because many are still being processed at bases outside Afghanistan, it’s still too early to know total numbers,” Peeni Henare said. “We acknowledge the incredibly difficult position those still in Afghanistan are in. The situation in Afghanistan is incredibly complex and fragile and continues to change rapidly. Our next job is to consider what can be done for those who remain in Afghanistan still. That will not be a quick or easy task” Jacinda Ardern said. “This operation, which was conducted at short notice and under difficult conditions, shows the value of our armed forces. “I want to thank our Defence Force personnel who have worked hard to bring those in need home, by establishing a presence on the ground both at the airport in Kabul, and in the United Arab Emirates alongside other government agencies. “I also want to thank our partners, with a special mention to Australia, the United States and the United Arab Emirates for their steadfast support for this operation,” Jacinda Ardern said. Peeni Henare also thanked the Defence Force personnel for their hard work and speed with which the operation was put together. ‘’The value of the deployment was not just in the aircraft but in the presence at the airport itself of NZDF personnel facilitating evacuees under extraordinarily difficult conditions, and the presence of support personnel in UAE aiding the evacuees upon arrival.” It has not yet been confirmed as to when deployed NZDF personnel and the C-130 aircraft will arrive back in New Zealand.
