Afghanistan evacuations accelerate as Taliban claims women and the press will have rights

Thousands of diplomats and aid workers have been evacuated, according to Western governments, along with at least several hundred Afghans. In a press conference Tuesday night, a spokesman for the Taliban, infamous for its brutal executions and oppression of dissenters and women, promised rights for women and the press, and amnesty for government officials. Many Afghans and international leaders remain skeptical of the Taliban's pledges.
