THE HAGUE: A group of 181 Afghans has arrived in the Netherlands on a chartered flight from Pakistan, the Dutch government said Wednesday, the latest group to fly to safety in the aftermath of the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan last year. The Dutch government said the Afghans were unable to flee their country earlier because they did not have valid travel documents. Pakistan allowed them into the country so they could travel on to the Netherlands. Earlier this year, Islamabad allowed 329 people into the country so they could fly to the Netherlands. The former Dutch foreign minister, Sigrid Kaag, quit in September over the government’s muddled handling of evacuations from Kabul.
