FCDO advises UK nationals to leave in the face of rising Taliban threat but stresses limits of British consular help
Ministers are advising all UK nationals in Afghanistan to leave the country because of the “worsening security situation” but have warned people “not to rely” on the Foreign Office for evacuations.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office’s website was updated on Friday, advising against all travel to Afghanistan. The change in advice comes in the face of growing turmoil in Afghanistan, as Taliban forces sweep across the country.
