Kabul: The Taliban arrived at the gates of the Afghan capital Kabul on Sunday following which it was reported that the Afghan president Ashraf Ghani had fled the country.
He posted on his Facebook page to say he was leaving to avoid a bloody battle in Kabul.
In his social media post, Ashraf Ghani said: “Today, I came across a hard choice; I should stand to face the armed Taliban who wanted to enter the palace or leave the dear country (Afghanistan) that I dedicated my life to protecting and protecting the past twenty years.
Former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani added that had he not left the country, the result would have been a big human disaster in this 6 million city.
Ghani said: “If there were still countless countrymen martyred and they would face destruction and destruction of Kabul city, result would have been a big human disaster in this 6 million city. The Taliban have made it to remove me, they’re here to attack all Kabul & the people of Kabul.”
“In order to avoid bleeding flood, I thought it was best to get out. the Taliban have won judgment of sword and guns and now they’re responsible for protecting countrymen’s honour, wealth and self-esteem…Never in history has dry power given legitimacy to anyone and won’t give it to them,” added the Afghan president.
In his social media post, Ghani said that to win legitimacy and the hearts of people, it is necessary for the Taliban to assure all people, nations, different sectors, sisters and women of Afghanistan. “Make a clear plan to do and share it with the public. I’ll always continue to serve my nation with intellectual moment and a plan to develop,” said former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani.
