Ashraf Ghani Safe in the UAE. For now...
|
[Al Jazeera] UAE says Ghani taken in on 'humanitarian grounds' after he fled Afghanistan as the Taliban took over the country.
Sure picked some place to go to. Too bad he wasn't a 'translator'.
Earlier, Afghan media outlets reported that the UAE offered Ghani a residence after his "escape".
Ghani fled Afghanistan on Sunday as the Taliban closed in on Kabul, before the armed group walked into the Afghan capital unopposed.
In a Facebook post, Ghani said the "Taliban have won" and that he fled to avoid a "flood of bloodshed".
Mainly, his own.
His whereabouts were unknown until Wednesday, with speculation that he had fled to Tajikistan, Uzbekistan or Oman.
The UAE is one of three nations, including Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, which recognised the previous Taliban regime, which ran Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001.
On Monday, there were scenes of panic and chaos at the Kabul airport as desperate residents tried to flee the war-torn country. Deaths were reported as some clung to planes flying out of the capital.
Earlier this year, the war between the Taliban and Afghan forces intensified as foreign troops announced their withdrawal from the country by September 11, the 20th anniversary of the attacks that led to the US invasion.
With the collapse of the Afghan government, attention is turning to ensure the safety of civilians and evacuees and an orderly transfer of power.
The Taliban has declared that the war in Afghanistan is over and said efforts to form an inclusive government are under way.
