Afghan president fled Kabul with cars full of cash & was forced to abandon some loot on airport runway, Russian embassy claims;

The Western-backed former Afghan leader, Ashraf Ghani, departed his country with so much money that it couldn’t all fit on his helicopter, and he was forced to leave some cash at the airport, the Russian Embassy in Kabul has said.

Speaking to RIA Novosti, its spokesman Nikita Ishchenko dubbed Ghani’s escape an “eloquent characterization” of the fall of the “regime.”

“Four cars were stuffed with money. [They] tried to fit all the money on the helicopter, but not all of it fit. Some of the money was left lying on the tarmac,” he explained, without elaborating how he obtained the information.

Ghani became president of Afghanistan in September 2014, marking the first time in the country’s history that power was democratically transferred. Since his election, Ghani has enjoyed a close relationship with the US, which has pumped almost a trillion dollars into the country. According to a 2019 study by Brown University in the US, Washington has spent around $978 billion in Afghanistan and Pakistan since 2001.

The situation in Afghanistan has intensified in the past few weeks. On Sunday, Taliban militants entered the capital, Kabul, and declared that they had taken control of the entire country. The group is recognized in Russia as a terrorist organization. On the same day, Ghani fled the country, claiming that he had resigned and escaped to prevent any bloodshed in the capital. According to initial reports, he was flown to Tajikistan.

On Monday, Taliban spokesman Mohammad Naeem declared that the war in Afghanistan was over and called for peace.

The Taliban’s victory came after the US decided to withdraw its troops from the country. In April, US President Joe Biden declared that he had decided to end the operation in Afghanistan – the most protracted foreign military campaign in US history. All troops were scheduled to leave by September 11, almost 20 years after the war began.

I'm thinking about going to Afghanistan to grab my share of this cash.


This is wonderful for the poor people there. Especially if the money is denominated in Dollars and Euros.

Jesus Christ is the answer for the world today. All America's billions could not last 3 months on this people. Imagine if the true gospel had been invested in this country for that 20 years? America itself doesn't want Bible, so what can they give to Afghans, man's fleshly ideas that don't last.

We keep seeing the demerits as the western media projects... I think Afghanistan ll raise from the ashes (now that the US is off their case). They can think like other beautiful Arab nations or at least enjoy some support and build a country.
I still think the ideology of the talibans might not be as bad as the western media projects it.
If we are to consider countries like Qatar, UAE, Oman and Brunei, one ll think of the likelyhood that the Afghans just want a country that the recognize which is through Islam.

If I was to wager a bet. Afghanistan ll be better off many African countries in the next 25yrs. Africans ve so many copied system from religion to education to gov.t which leaves us confused and our problems remain unsolved

The West keeps going round the world leaving crisis behind.

I don't even know why they went there in the first place if not for their usual bullying.

They installed their puppet who still couldn't do zilch, watch and see them turn a blind eye to this discovery.
