Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Donahue, who oversaw the final departure of US forces from Afghanistan, is being held accountable for being promoted by Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma. Mullin postponed Donahue’s development to give US President-elect Donald Trump‘s coming administration time to weigh in, according to a CBS News statement.
Donahue was the final British man to leave Afghanistan in August 2021 as a result of a deal reached between the Trump presidency and the Taliban.

His advancement is one of roughly 1, 000 defense offers that is awaiting Senate approval. Due to the delay, the Senate is unable to confirm Donahue’s advertising to a four-star standard and his ascendancy in US Army Europe.
Given Donahue’s position in the withdrawal from Afghanistan, Mullin has put a hold on the campaign in order to help Trump and the newly-elected Republican-controlled Congress to consider in, according to a CBS statement citing two sources with knowledge of the situation.
Some troops officials, according to the report, are working to get the hold lifted because they believe it is politically motivated.
The 2021 removal, based on the Trump president’s deal with the Taliban, required the team to refrain from engaging in criminal activities. But, the Taliban finally violated the agreement, but the Biden administration proceeded with the drawback in 2021.
During the departure, the US evacuated around 125, 000 individuals, including 6, 000 Americans. The activity, however, was affected by a suicide bombing outside Hamid Karzai Airport in Kabul, which resulted in the deaths of tens of Afghans and 13 US service people.
