In a situation like the current one in #Afghanistan there are people in the Social Networks (private and free software) sending messages of hate without caring about the consequences in the worsening of the danger of death to which is subjected all the people who desperately seek to flee the country and are still at the airport in #Kabul, in addition to those who were unable to reach the airport and those who are unreachable somewhere in Afghanistan as half of the Spanish.
I also think we should remember those people who, when faced with a life-threatening situation, focus on a specific group (and rank) of the population, despising the rest and abandoning them to their fate, and asking society to support this position.
It is clear that the chaos and death caused by the statements of some politicians, which interfere with a more efficient evacuation of refugees, is insufficient. Do they crave more chaos, death and bloodshed to lead us to scenarios to their liking?
En una situación como la actual en #Afganistan hay personas en las Redes Sociales (privadas y de software libre) mandando mensajes de odio sin importarles las consecuencias en el empeoramiento del peligro de muerte al que esta sometida toda las personas que buscan desesperadamente huir del país y siguen en el aeropuerto de #Kabul, además de quienes quedaron sin poder llegar al aeropuerto y quienes están ilocalizables en algún lugar de Afganistan como la mitad de los españoles.
También creo que hay que recordar a aquellas personas que, ante una situación de riesgo vital, se centran en un grupo (y rango) concreto de la población, despreciando al resto y abandonándolo a su suerte, y pidiendo a la sociedad que apoye esta postura.
Está claro que el caos y la muerte provocados por las declaraciones de algunos políticos, que interfieren en una evacuación más eficaz de los refugiados, es insuficiente.¿Ansían más caos, muerte y derramamiento de sangre para llevarnos a escenarios de su gusto?

'Somewhat strangely, the rise of the #Taliban provides certain #opportunities for Afghanistan’s #development that were not previously available.
Unlike the #UK’s talk of #human-rights and #sanctions, the rhetoric coming out of #Beijing and #Moscow has been focused on #security and #engagement.'

US Left #Bagram Airfield Quietly Without a Goodbye, Afghans Say
We (heard) some rumor that the Americans had left Bagram ... and finally by seven o'clock in the morning, we understood that it was confirmed that they had already left Bagram
...
Before the Afghan army could take control of the airfield about an hour's drive from the Afghan capital of #Kabul, it was invaded by a small army of looters, who ransacked barrack after barrack and rummaged through giant storage tents before being evicted, according to Afghan military officials.
