Ashraf Ghani, Afghanistan’s president, fled to the United Arab Emirates as Kabul, the Afghan capital, was captured by the insurgents of the Taliban. A chaotic evacuation of Western personnel and some of their Afghan associates followed from Kabul airport, where at least seven people died in the tumult. President Joe Biden defended the decision to withdraw American security forces from the country and blamed the Afghan government for lacking “the will to fight”.
阿富汗首都喀布爾被塔利班武裝分子占領后，阿富汗總統阿什拉夫·加尼逃至阿聯酋。隨后，西方人員和他們的一些阿富汗盟友在混亂中從喀布爾機場撤離，至少7人在騷亂中喪生。美國總統喬·拜登為美國安全部隊撤出阿富汗的決定進行了辯護，并指責阿富汗政府缺乏“戰斗意志”。
Muhyiddin Yassin, Malaysia’s embattled prime minister, resigned after months of political instability and the loss of his parliamentary majority. He remains in office while Malaysia’s king chooses his successor after consulting MPs. Sultan Abdullah said holding a new election during the pandemic would be dangerous.
四面楚歌的馬來西亞總理穆尤丁·亞辛在經歷了數月的政治動蕩和失去議會多數席位后辭職。馬來西亞國王將在征詢國會議員意見后選擇繼任者，在此期間他將繼續留任。蘇丹阿卜杜拉表示，在疫情期間舉行新的選舉將是危險的。
Tropical Storm Grace drenched Haiti, slowing efforts to rescue survivors of a 7.2-magnitude earthquake that struck on August 14th. The death toll rose to more than 2,000, a number likely to increase further. The quake was stronger than the one estimated to have killed more than 200,000 people in 2010.
熱帶風暴格蕾絲浸透海地，減緩了救援8月14日發生的7.2級地震中幸存者的工作。死亡人數上升到2000多人，這個數字可能還會進一步增加。這次地震比2010年那次估計造成了20多萬人死亡的地震更強烈。
Peru’s foreign minister, Héctor Béjar, resigned after videos surfaced of him claiming the CIA, America’s intelligence agency, backed the Shining Path, a communist insurgency. Critics say Mr Béjar was one of several radical, inexperienced ministers chosen by the left-wing president, Pedro Castillo, who narrowly won an election in June. Mr Castillo must select a new foreign minister by the end of the month, when Congress will vote on whether to accept his cabinet.
秘魯外交部長赫克托·貝賈爾聲稱美國情報機構中央情報局(CIA)支持共產主義叛亂組織光輝之路，他在該視頻曝光后辭職。批評人士說，貝賈爾是左翼總統佩德羅·卡斯蒂略選出的幾位激進的、缺乏經驗的部長之一，卡斯蒂略在6月份的選舉中以微弱優勢獲勝。卡斯蒂略必須在本月底前選出新的外交部長，屆時國會將投票決定是否接納他的內閣。
