Apparently there were Pokemon Go gyms and Pokestops on overseas military bases.
The last US military Pokemon Go players put their Pokemon in gyms before they left.
Those Pokemon are still in those gyms when they would have normally been kicked out by other players.
This means those Pokemon will stay in those gyms until another Pokemon Go player comes along which might be a very long time.

> Like other veterans, he said he is pessimistic about the future of Afghanistan after the U.S. withdrawal. But he hopes the situation improves one day, to the point he can once again play Pokemon Go there.
Pessimistic / realistic view: once the military coalition forces withdraw there will almost certainly be armed conflict, perhaps a full civil war.
Optimistic / hopeful view: somehow Afghanistan will stabilize enough that people will be able to travel there as tourists.
