Apart from 500+ Turkish soldiers, officially 120 Azerbaijani soldiers are still at the airport.

As someone who completed numerous tours since 2001 in Afg and worked with Afghans, I find the gloating and amazing "hot takes" of some posters and twitter users recently, who have clearly never set foot in country, frankly distasteful.
This whole episode makes me really.....sad. Though that probably isn't the right word. And sick, it makes me feel sick to the stomach.

One of the big mistake was that approach to arm afghan national army was wrong everyone knows that afghan army doesn't have any effective armored division and in that case u have to equip your whole army with special forces gears and equipment but in afghanistan their is a SOF but in small numbers
I worked with the Air Force, who were.
And it isn't really about how effective the Army were, this is about a section of the population who were doing and trying their best, who will now be hunted down and executed. It's already happening. And as I human being that upsets me.
Life for Afghans wasn't perfect, but it's going to get a lot worse now.

You can air strike and destroy those camps to teach them not to do it. No need to stay and occupy

Although I can't find the original report (It was presumably broadcast, rather than being in an article), more than a few twitter users last night were stating that Channel 4 news reported that the British Ambassador was staying on the ground as long as possible in order to process visas for local staff and interpreters.

Perhaps it may have been good if they had put that much effort in defending their country............
