Thats the whole point though isn’t it. The August 31 deadline has been there for since at least the start of this year. Yet they only start with 2
weeks to go, and then only when they city was overrun! They should have had the list of those permitted to travel, and issued secure identity cards to those back by the end of May at the latest. Should have had all the non essential personnel out by the end of June, and in the last couple of weeks it would just be the clean up crew who needed to depart.
All of the above has nothing to do with the military. They had nothing to do with the timeline of events. They already had their personnel out. They had to bring more back to protect those other government and NGO types that hadn’t yet left. It was a purely political issue for the timing.
