An air bridge was activated with the neighboring countries of Afghanistan to bring another 500 former collaborators of the Armed Forces and their families to Italy.
This is the "Aquila Omnia-Bis" operation, launched by the Defense.
"Last summer's evacuation of Afghan citizens from Kabul - says Defense Minister Lorenzo Guerini - was a very complex operation, but the relentless and silent commitment of the Italian armed forces has also continued in recent months. Aquila Omnia bis today testifies to the result of a long team effort thanks to the strong collaboration between the ministries of Defense, Foreign Affairs, Interior and the information services ".
