Dutch Foreign Minister Sigrid Kaag resigned on Thursday (Friday in Manila) after parliament formally condemned her handling of the Afghanistan evacuation crisis. Lawmakers approved a motion criticizing the government for failing to evacuate some Afghans and for missing signs of an imminent Taliban takeover. “The House considers that the government has acted irresponsibly. And although I stand by our commitment, I can only accept the consequences of this judgement as the minister with ultimate responsibility,” Kaag said in a statement to parliament. Kaag said she would stay on as leader of the center-left D66 party, which is in coalition talks with Prime Minister Mark Rutte after winning the second-most seats in elections in March. Her resignation comes a day after Britain’s Dominic Raab was demoted from his position as foreign minister over the way he dealt with the situation in Afghanistan.
