Quote:
A former British soldier left stranded in Kabul is leading an escape effort for 400 Afghans across a Taliban-controlled border.
Ben Slater, 37, decided to escape Afghanistan over land seized by the Islamist group after the U.K. Foreign Office failed to approve visas for the air evacuation of himself and around 50 staff, who are mainly Afghan women.

Quote:
A detailed plan for their escape, seen by The Daily Telegraph, has been sent to the Foreign Office and Ministry of Defence in the hope that U.K. forces will assist their efforts on the ground and repatriate them when they reach their destination in a third country.
The location of Slater’s convoy and their final destination cannot be revealed for security reasons.

I'm praying they make it.
