The Foreign Office's top civil servant has said he was 'not aware' of support for the decision to evacuate Nowzad either in No10 or from the Prime Minister
The animals' evacuation was controversial because vulnerable people who were connected to foreign forces that fought the Taliban were left behind as the militants took control and launched reprisals.
The email, dated to August 25 2021, said that charity was "seeking to evacuation their [details redacted] members of staff ". The ex-Foreign Office employee said in a statement: "There was no reason to believe the Taliban would target animal rights charities."By contrast many others would inevitably be left behind who were at risk of murder."
"At no point did the Prime Minister instruct staff to take any particular course of action on Nowzad."
