Afghan President Ghani Flees Country As Taliban Surrounds Kabul by ManirBK: 5:22pm On Aug 15, 2021
Afghanistan’s embattled president has left
the country, joining his fellow citizens and
foreigners in a stampede fleeing the
advancing Taliban and signalling the end
of a 20-year Western experiment aimed at
remaking Afghanistan.
Abdullah Abdullah, the head of the Afghan
National Reconciliation Council, confirmed
in an online video that President Ghani
had left on Sunday.
“The former president of Afghanistan left
Afghanistan, leaving the country in this
difficult situation,” Abdullah said. “God
should hold him accountable.”
Ghani flew out of the country, two officials
told The Associated Press news agency,
speaking on condition of anonymity
because they were not authorised to brief
journalists. Local media reported that
Ghani left for Tajikistan.
Abdullah said he wants security forces to
continue providing security for Kabul and
asked the Taliban to wait for talks before
entering the city.
But the Taliban, which for hours had been
on the outskirts of Kabul, announced soon
after that they would move further into a
city gripped by panic throughout the day
as helicopters raced overhead to evacuate
personnel from the US embassy. Smoke
rose near the compound as staff
destroyed important documents. Several
other Western missions also prepared to
pull their people out.
Civilians fearing that the Taliban could
reimpose the kind of brutal rule that all
but eliminated women’s rights rushed to
leave the country as well, lining up at cash
machines to withdraw their life savings.
The desperately poor – who had left
homes in the countryside for the hoped-
for safety in the capital – remained in their
thousands in parks and open spaces
throughout the city.
In a stunning rout, the Taliban has
captured 26 of Afghanistan’s 34 provincial
capitals since August 6, despite the billions
of dollars spent by the US and NATO over
nearly 20 years to build up Afghan
security forces.

Taliban must have powerful supporters, and
it’s true that Pakistan and the Taliban are old
friends. At the same time, for most of the
war on terrorism, the United States and
Pakistan have been allies. Doesn’t it follow,
then, that the United States and the Taliban
are really on the same side?

Mr president now understand the language very well!

Biden's withdrawal was so poorly executed
that he has had to put another 5,000
Marines in harm's way in order to safely
evacuate remains American civilians and
state department workers. Prayers sent for
all of the innocent people who are going to
be killed or oppressed in Afghanistan in the
coming days.

The Afghans “army”
were only in for the salaries, they were
never going to fight as an army. Taliban are
going to have problems with different tribes
over the long run.

Lol this is the pure truth. They were trained and equipped by the USA. Despite all this, they still couldn't fight to resist. They so relied on the USA. I wouldn't say the withdrawal was a shock cuz it was announced during the Era of trump.
