US govt's Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction says Ashraf Ghani fled with about $440,000 belonging to Afghan govt during Taliban takeover in August 2021.
Afghanistan’s Acting PM Mullah Mohammad Hassan said the former US-backed Ashraf Ghani government was corrupt and damaged the country’s economic situation.
Pakistan Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed said PM Imran Khan also tried to convince Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani to hold talks with the Taliban but he was not prepared.
Defense Minister Bismillah Mohammadi said those 'trading and selling out their motherland' should be arrested. The Afghan embassy in Tajikistan also requested Interpol to detain Ghani.
Ghani, who became Afghanistan president in 2014, was seen as an outsider who lacked the political touch to unite disparate factions, and he became more isolated over time.
A spokesperson of the Russian embassy in Kabul claims Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani fled with cars and helicopters full of cash and some money was left lying on the tarmac.
The embassy also tagged India's MEA, the Taliban spokesperson and Afghanistan’s Presidential Office in the tweet. It was shared more than 700 times before being deleted.
Ghani, in his first comments after leaving Afghanistan, said Taliban is facing a new historical test of either protecting the name & honour of the country or prioritise other things.
